Box Joints Made Easy on Your Table Saw...
I love box joints, they are easy to construct, look great and when cut and assembled correctly are as strong a joint as any you can cut.

Maybe it's just me but I don't like this one

You can also combine species to make interesting contrasting projects. Below are a couple of simple projects that I made a couple of years ago. These are simple – there are those out the...
