I appreciate the full disclosure. it made me feel less of an idiot for not being able to get it right after the first adjustment I made.

Thanks for the very thorough explanation and demonstration. I want to make a nice box for my Stanley No 45 plane and thought finger joints would be perfect. I saw this jig in the Phoenix Rockler store yesterday but was unsure of its quality & usability. Now it looks like I will be headed back to Rocker today! Thanks again.

I've had this jig for a while and never had any luck using it. I think I've just been not setting the box parts up right so they don't fit well. Time to try it again. Thanks for the great video.

nice work buddy. How did you cut the finger notch on the top of the box ?

@thewoodsmithstore Ай бұрын

Thanks! We used a drillpress and a forstner bit. Clamp your lid piece to a block of wood with an angle cut. Make sure you put a stop in place on the drillpress for how deep you want the forstner bit to cut into your lid. Be mindful that the bit's point doesn't cut into your workpiece. Make sure to do this in test pieces first before using your actual project piece. Hope this helps!

Can you cut alternative spacing. ie: 1/4 pin and 3/4 tail.

@thewoodsmithstore 10 ай бұрын

No. The box joint jig is designed to cut 1/4”, 3/8” or 1/2”box joints (pins and slots) depending on the router bit and indexing key being used.

Have you made a video that completes making the box?

Not yet, but that's on our list for a future video!

Hi, Nice video. Could you tell me the method you use for making the sliding lids? Thank you

I cut a groove on the inside of three of the box sides. Then cut rabbets along the edges and one end of the lid to create tongues that slide in the grooves. The fourth side of the box is trimmed down to allow the lid to slide in.

Your box joint how wide are your pieces

@thewoodsmithstore Ай бұрын

In this particulare video, the side pieces are 3 5/8 inches wide. But you can use any size pieces depending on height of box you would like to build.

Thanks for your question. Sorry for the delayed response. We've been in the process of moving locations and just opened our doors back up. We plan to produce a video that will take you from start to finish in making a box, including the lid. Stay tuned!
