hey guys, does anyone have a plan for making a box joint jig? I want to start learning how to finger joint etc. If anyone knows a good way to learn joints such as this and would like to share, I'm all ears!

You can never get enough of what you don't need to make you happy.

All depends on the equipment you have on hand.

Do you plan on making them with a table saw or a rounter ? (assuming you're not going to cut them by hand with a hand saw.)


Also depends on how long of a run you need to make. For standard "drawer size" pieces, the typical jig will work just fine. That includes store bought or home made. For a continuous run however (for say, like 6 feet) you would need an indexible jig that isn't limited by width of the board.

Just let me know the specifics of what ou want to do (or make) and I can lead you in a better direction for exact plans.

Well I happen to have a table saw and a router, and I guess it would be used for smaller joints, like maybe drawer size, up to around a foot and a half. I wanted to finger joint a box like i did in my underseat storage compartment. I was going to try and dovetail a bench together with no other brackets or supports, but this would be with material 1 3/4" thick material. let me see if i can find you pictures of what I am looking to do to learn these joints.

This picture is the storage boxes I made, and I would like to have finger jointed them.

This is a sample of a bench that i found searching on the internet, I would like more dovetails than this, but this is the structure of what I had in mind. I also plan on using an old piece of cypress and cutting it into 3 pieces.
