Ultimate box joint jig

I’ve been following his website for a year or so now and have been amazed at some of his ingenuity. The lengths that he goes for accuracy in woodworking is crazy, but his joints are tight!

His sight is pretty neat. Have you seen his tenoning and mortising stuff? Pretty crazy he gets results down to +/-0.002. Sometimes less.

That is nuts! Making the jig probably took a while, but Wow the precision and look of those joints is amazing.
Thanks for sharing

I just saw the mortising machine. It is really KOOL !! He has an interactive gear calculator too for those who are mechanically inclined and want to build with wood ;-))

This kid (and I can say “kid” because I was born in the first half of the last century and he is in his early 20’s) is probably one of the most creative geniuses I have ever encountered. Look at the knock-down desk and dresser he designed to go to college. The drawers interlock to minimize the amount of space they take up during transportation. He is one of the few I have seen who really thinks “outside the box.” I stand in awe.

Pretty amazing.

Wow thats incredible. Why isn’t this guy on Lumberjocks? You should invite him. Thanks for sharing the post.

-- Check out my new website! http://www.blakeweberwoodworking.com

This guy really amazes me. These jigs are incredible, he could make a fine living just by marketing these ideas, yet he gives away detailed plans free! What an awesome guy he must be.

-- You know.... I think that old wood needs to be furniture.

Wow, thanks for the post. This one is going into favorites. BTKS

I didn’t see the walking table on his website. A friend in Canada sent that to me by email. I don’t know what the origin is.

I’ve been watching his site for a while and I’m amazed. I have never been able to visualize mechanical contraptions and figure out how they work – I have to take them apart and have ‘hands-on’ experience. My grandfather was a lot like him – he worked in the woolen mills here in Maine and invented several processes and machines to do things better. He didn’t even have a high school education but he constantly took correspondence courses, mostly in mechanics. Sadly, he never patented any of the things he came up with! Unfortunately, I didn’t inherit that gene from him. But I’m in awe of this guy’s genius. I would guess he is what used to be called a ‘tinkerer’.
