Steve,
I am in the process of making one of these from the online plan. I am also using oak from some reject window sills. Yours looks very good.

I have tried to make a box joint jig very similar to this before but i could never get it as accurate as i would like.
What online website did you use for the plans?
Thanks Chad

Chad, I read your note and decided to send you the link for the plans. They are sold by Woodsmith and apparently appeared in an issue of ShopNotes. The link is: http://www.woodsmithstore.com/boxjoint.html

That’s where mine came from. They are very detailed. Easy to follow.

Good job
i need to build a better jig for box joints. I enjoy making them but to get better and faster I need a better jig. This might be it.

I got the plans from http://plansnow.com/boxjoint.html it’s cheaper than the other site. I only paid 4.95 for the plans. it’s pretty detailed and you shouldn’t have any problems building it. finding the hardware is kinda tough, but I just think that is because of where I live. instead of 10/32 threaded bar stock, I used 10/32 3 inch machine screws and that worked pretty good. I cut the angle brackets down with a hack saw and then used a file to smooth the edges. Oh and instead of using hard board for the back plate, I used 1/4 inch Oak plywood, just because I had it laying around.
