Project Information

Wanting to make some boxes with finger joints I had to make the jig first. Pretty simple design. 3/4" Birch plywood with adjustable widths and removable back up board. Right and left sides are adjustable but don't think I'll really need to move the left side. I used piece of 1/4" hard board that can be remove and replaced to minimize tear out. As you can see in photo 4 I just turned it upside down and screwed it back in place. Photo 3 shows work in progress. The best idea (not mine, got it here) was the shelf to let boards ride on. Makes for a smoother transition over the saw blade inserts. If you look close in photo 4 you'll notice it also has an micro adjustment. Or as I like to call it, masking tape. Thanks for looking. Boxes to come shortly.

Nice design. One suggestion: make your "peg" from some very hard wood like Jatoba and it will last much longer than pine which tends to wear and become narrower as you use it.

Very cool.

I continue to be impressed by the ingenuity of LJ members. Imagine if the rest of the general public engaged their brains instead of their thumbs on various remotes?

Nice work Bryan. Looks like you are getting some decent results from it. Several good ideas here that I may look into developing. Thanks for the post. GO Kansas State (Former Wildcat)
