How to make and use a finger joint router table jig

[@ilookafterthewater601]

I can listen to this bloke speak all day long. He has a great accent! Plus, he has a kind of common-sense, rough-and-ready, no-nonsense approach to making stuff which makes a nice change. AND!!!!! He has a black fingernail, like a proper carpenter. So yeah, I reckon it's time to hit the subscribe button :)

[@ryanc4341]

To me this is the best way to make box joints (or finger joints). I see lots of youtube videos with $200 dado sacks and complicated advancing jigs, but this method seems to produce great results with the least amount of effort and expense. Thanks!

[@KrupskySam]

Sergio - that was absolutely brilliant. Very educational.

[@arnasstaniulis2493]

Very nice idea with that DIY miter bar sled

[@markburgum1892]

Thank you Sergio. It is always a pleasure to watch your videos to inspire me to make more tools for my man cave :)

[@woodworkingaspirations1720]

beautiful explanation. will try this today to make a bee hive

[@allanmclean6659]

Good video! Clear and without wasted time. A very useful method of using box joints without a table saw. Thank you...

[@pking39]

Great and simple jig. Very cool

[@johngratton467]

I've seen so many videos where the finger joints were un-equal and having slivers of a finger on one side, that 1/2 finger hack was a piece of genius, lovely even finger joints, well done

[@bradturbo44]

You are the best man on youtube thank you john

[@glenhigdon3893]

About time someone puts out a video I can understand ! I looked high and low to find a way to make box joints. With out sending a bunch of money. Thank you and keep up the good work!!!!!

[@edcaballero1519]

Glen Higdon sergio te felicito por tus excellentes videos

[@barrylitchfield250]

Good job! Well done. Thanks for sharing.

[@andyzav4651]

Nice and easy explanation, thank you!

[@peterjones3557]

Thank you very much! Clear with no frills.Simple to follow.

[@df9117]

Thank you! The trick to put a half finger on each side is very helpful.

[@jazzyjono]

Great video thanks

[@thingswelike]

Thank you very much. Not many videos are as clear as this one. I particularly liked the use of the shim on the last joint.

[@steveszabo7305]

Sergio nicely explained detailed video

[@firmansyah-rd9hu]

I want to make finger joints based on your explanation in your video. Keep posting!👍💜

[@WoodworkingwithDIYtools]

This woodworking jig is quite easy to make. And if you set it fine it helps to make great finger joints. Thanks for watching 👍

[@aleklysikov6033]

Thank you Sergio! Looking very easy! God blessed you for showing video 4.0!!!

[@MsLorisM]

Thank you for making this video. Your explanation of how to center the finger joints in the workpiece by using a spacer is most helpful. I am anxious to get into the shop to try this out. I bought a spiral bit as suggested by others.

[@joesbarbecue1]

Good job! Thank you for the video.

[@flyingpictures1100]

Yeah man thank you! I love it. Apart from the fact my home made router table is a bit out of whack around the bit, I have just made a kickass box joint. Did it in light and dark wood. Its going to be for exposed corners on a work table drawer for middle daughter. Its a simple join but it does my head in working out the fingers. Then I am going to make some drawers to finally organize my fishing tackle. By the time I have done that I should get the hang of it.

[@lisayorke7682]

Great Video, Very straight forward. This was the video I used to build my own finger joint jig. Very clear and straight forward. Thank You.

[@WoodworkingwithDIYtools]

Thank you very much Lisa. I wish your jig is very useful in your shop 😃

[@bradturbo44]

Thank you for a great video all the best john.

[@WoodworkingwithDIYtools]

Thank you very much John 😃. I also like this video, because as well as the finger joint jig, I also show some interesting tips 👍

[@Bosun25]

Good clear instructions and nice fit

[@elguapo1507]

Look at that final fit! Really nice Sergio! Thanks mate.

[@GenTal1969]

Nice video I enjoy very much

[@j.c.3800]

thank you for good common sense solutions to problems.

[@scottdelaney98]

Even with the somewhat broken english, this is the most clear and concise video on this subject that I have seen. Thank you very much!

[@scottdelaney98]

What more can one ask of the language?

[@ecowomble1781]

Yet another great video demo. I will be trying this out I the near future. I really enjoy your no nonsense easy to follow videos. look forward to your next one.

[@UBO58]

Excellent! I will bookmark it fur my personal use in the future.

[@erichartman4545]

[@tonyjarvis4970]

A very simple and elegant solution. Thank you for taking the time to post this.

[@zing913945]

Sergio, Thanks for showing your method for the router! I have one I made for the table saw, but sometimes I would like to have the router option ! Your video is well done and there is no doubt I will be cutting box joints on my router this afternoon.

[@wufflesthespider]

Sooo, I built this jig yesterday following your excellent video. Only thing I'd like to add is that you can stack the pieces that need routing out using the offset block and route two pieces at once, saves a bit of time and gives a very accurate result. I doubt this is news, but worth pointing out if (like me) you've never done it before.

[@wufflesthespider]

Whips through it nicely with a spiral bit.

[@wufflesthespider]

Festool and (much cheaper, and possibly the same thing but rebadged) ELU do them. Only problem is they're normally 8mm shank so you'll need a new collet or at a pinch, use an adaptor. I'm just finishing up making a dust extraction piece I can place opposite the jig then I can try it out and report back.

[@wufflesthespider]

Following up on this, my dust extraction sucks (not in a good way) but the spiral bits are working very well indeed.

[@martinvanzyl747]

Would I be right thinking that a spiral bit would cause less tear-out? Just worried about the expense of buying one and then finding there is very little improvement.

[@wufflesthespider]

I think so yes.

[@j.taylor7361]

Awesome video! Thanks!

[@bradturbo44]

Thank you for all your tips

[@bradturbo44]

Thank you for all your tips, all the very best Sergio

[@robinmarwick1982]

Good video very helpful thanks...

[@WoodworkingwithDIYtools]

Thank you, Robin. I hope I can record a better quality video soon

[@peterstarrenburg1371]

Thank you for your excellent explanation. I have followed your instructions and now I can make beautiful fingerjoints. I hope to learn more from you in the future.

[@cianmerne7961]

Thank you. Clear and concise.

[@fuckyoutube6258]

Good job and I could understand you just fine thank you for the tips on wood working that even my wood shop teacher didn't teach me keep it up you just got another subscriber.

[@WoodworkingwithDIYtools]

Thank you very much, but sure you will learn more with your woodworking teacher than watching my videos :D Thanks for subscribing :D

[@fuckyoutube6258]

Woodworking with DIY tools actually I wont I graduated from high school in 1993 so I have the honor to learn from you sir .

[@patrickarchuleta9594]

All you Carpenters should make these jigs and sell them I believe you will be successful

[@OlcayMsrloglu]

Thank you for your share...It is great and simple. Video is very explanatory..

[@gaudywidget]

awesome video! gonna go try it!

[@robertoortega1801]

Muy buena solución Sergio. He visto en la red varias soluciones empleando la sierra de banco con un dado (por alguna razón parece que estos dados son ilegales en algunas partes), la sierra de banco con la hoja normal (con y sin mecanismos de indexación), pero esta idea del router es realmente muy simple, muy elegante. Felicitaciones y gracias por compartir. Voy a poner en práctica este método apenas tan pronto compre mi mesa para el router.
