A tool for making locking tapered sliding dovetail joints and a kit including the tool. The tool includes a pin guide having a minor end having a minor width and a major end having a major width that is larger than the minor width such that the template has a taper in width from the major end to the minor end. The tool also includes a locking section configured such that the tool forms an area of increased friction in the joint relative to the rest of the joint. The tool may also include at least one stabilizing member for holding the template in place while the sliding dovetail pin is being formed from the workpiece.
