Hahahahaha. I find it is quite curious that a lot of people comment about the blade height 🤔, because that is not something important when making the jig and when I put it to the test. I mean, the important part in this video is to get fingers that fit, not to get a perfect flush joint. Maybe you like a lot when I make a mistake and then I struggle to fix it 😅😂
@@WoodworkingwithDIYtools No, that's not it at all. I understand the point of the video is to show how to make the jig....but the jig is to make a finger joint! Once the finger joint is made it turned out off just because the height wasn't set right. It's not making fun of you, it's just comical.
There’s lots of these out there, but you simplified this down to almost nothing so if someone does not understand this, they should not be a woodworker. Thank you. As for everyone else making fun of accent of what not, keep in mind. He explained everything is best possible detail. He only says information that we need so it’s easy to follow and not a waste of time. Thanks again. Thumbs up, and this video is going in to my special jigs videos. I always wanted to make something like this for my sliding table saw, maybe a bit more complicated and with clamps, and for a dado stack. But none the less. Best video out there for box joints.
That's a fabulous solution, with bits and pieces we all have lying around. Simplicity with a touch of genius, it allows all sizes. Muchas gracias, maestro !
After extensive research on here, thanks to your genius, I have now found the definitive single blade box joint jig to build and the most versatile. To paraphrase Tina Turner - it's simply the best!
Great video! I used the same method for making a display case shadow box. I like the fact that the height was incorrect at the end. It showed that you're human just like the rest of us. We've all made simple little errors before. Thanks again the the video
C'est la solution la plus astucieuse et polyvalente que je cherche. Adaptable à toutes les tailles de créneaux. Bravo pour la démonstration et le partage.
to be honest, I like the protrusions on the finger joints. it is an unintended design interest that would look nice for some applications. it is like the corners of a log-hose that reminds you of the genius of the system.
Congratulations! I'm a journeyman carpenter, certified 1974 by BC Dept of Labour, and salute yr genius solution to an ever recurring problem. Thank you for showing what to do; now I'll adopt this to my workshop, instead of the torture of tedious alternatives.
Thanks Sergio. This is excellent. You could stack 2 boards and clamp them, and cut the front and back of the box at the same time, and then the 2 sides at the same time, yes?
This is the 2nd fingerjoint jig I've made and this is the most accurate, thanks. Of course, I already knew to set the blade height so just alittle sanding needed. Thanks again.
Excellent simple jig. I made one today and did some test joints. One thing that I learnt after the first try is that the two scrap pieces used at 03:38 to create the initial gap must be tight between the blade and the aluminium peg. This is absolutely critical in order for the fingers to be the same width as the slots. However, now I know this the joint are coming out great.
I am kind of new to wood working. I was looking for a jig to be used without a dado blade since my table saw cannot have it. Excellent idea! It was very creative how you add an extra aluminum piece on to the second wood piece to take care of the blade thickness! And also this can be used for any box finger size you need! A+
Awesome simple finger joint jig. Love it. Some wrongly say the blade height is wrong. No it's perfect. Once glued up, or dry fit well, simply use table saw to cut overages or very close to flush. Best way to make perfect flush ready for minor sanding, glueing and finishing. Nothing worse then being to short, Cant fix that unless your going for undercut joint look. Plus this was perfect for demonstrating this jig. Other option is finger joints look good when protruding, a nice project feature.
Al metal was discovrrrd by an English chemist. He named it "Aluminium". When the discovery was first reoorted in America, the name was misptinted as "Aluminum". Americans never bothered with correcting it.
Thank you for sharing your method. I don’t see the blade height as a mistake. You were demonstrating how well the fingers fit together. The extra length demonstrated this very well. Good work! 👍🏼
The math does work here. The basis of the concept is that at the beginning you copy the width of the blade onto the aluminium inserts. Thank you, it is a very simple and very usable idea.
You know finger jointing cabinetry is such a useful skill and there are so many ways to do them I find your method very good in several ways. The mix up in blade height is no big deal. We, who do up load videos, have a ton of mistakes we could all shear with others but we don't we just keep on making videos and like any skill we learn on the job and get better and better as we grow. You did a very good job and as for me, I will use this Idea with my dado set. THANKS and Keep up the good work
Man, that was a great video! I've been looking for one of these finger joint jigs that don't require a dado stack, and this one is the best. Thank you, you got a like and sub from me 👍👍
😂😂😂 I have a problem with the n and the m at the end of the words. Also when I speak in Spanish, for example I always say listonnnnnnn (wooden strip) 😂😂😂. Just when I record the comments, not in day to day
At first I was thinking why not just use a dado blade, but once your jig is made it would be quite handy and assure notches that were cut the same every time. I like it
Excellent tutorial... very clear & concise... 🤗 Liked & Subbed... Greetings from the Emerald Isle 👍😎☘ Edit... meant to also say I LIKE the extra finger lengths due to the saw depth "error"... chamfered & sanded I think they'd be a nice feature 🙄
Thank you very much Peter. With such a nice name it must be a beautiful land. I wish one day I will visit Ireland. Irish Uilleann pipes (I have just discovered them in TH-cam) are quite different from Galician pipes (I am from Galicia), but both make an amazing and inspirational music 😍
TH-cam is a most wonderful form of communication & platform for learning... despite the present politics & patreon issues...😞 Wishing you a very Happy New Year & success in all your ventures for 2019 , may you be blessed with health, happiness & subscribers 🙄😏
I liked the video but you cracked me up at the end with incorrect height of the blade. I wondered about that from the start

That actually could be a style not necessarily be flushed. I got to say that the jig is rather too cumbersome and leaves room for mistakes.
What?! I dont make mistrakes!
It was indeed very funny
great video, and thank you for making the effort of recording it in English - well done.

Best video out there for box joints.
This is brilliant, flexible, and elegant. The beauty of simplicity shines when there is nothing left to remove, and you have achieved than ! Bravo.
And that's how you do proper box joints without a dado stack. The height of the blade is no big deal to overcome. Great job.
That's a fabulous solution, with bits and pieces we all have lying around.
Simplicity with a touch of genius, it allows all sizes.
Muchas gracias, maestro !
Thank you very much. It can take some time to adjust everything, but when everything is ok then is very fun using this finger joint jig 😃
Brilliant! Excellent instructions. Thank you for making the extra effort to explain in English.
After extensive research on here, thanks to your genius, I have now found the definitive single blade box joint jig to build and the most versatile. To paraphrase Tina Turner - it's simply the best!
Brilliant, I've been looking for a simple, single blade finger joint jig. This is best solution I've seen !!
Smartest finger joint cutting jig I've come across.
Your sentence structure and terminology makes this clever method flawlessly clear; better than many anglophone presenters. Bravo!
This is the niftiest and most versatile solution I've been looking for. Adaptable to all slot sizes. Bravo for the demonstration and sharing.
New to woodworking. First time doing finger joint. Absolute success with your method and diy jig. Thanks a lot to learn this to me.
This is the easiest uncomplicated finger joint method I have seen. How it works is simply brilliant
Great video! I used the same method for making a display case shadow box. I like the fact that the height was incorrect at the end. It showed that you're human just like the rest of us. We've all made simple little errors before. Thanks again the the video
Hahahahaha When I make a mistake (very often) I like to show it 😃
A true craftsman that can invent the tools he needs to build anything he wants, and a great teacher also. You sir are a master of your trade.
hahahha, thank you very much. I appreciate your words, but I feel more like a hobbyist than like a master :D
Outstanding, not only for coming up with the build, but for also being able to explain it clearly on how it works. Bravo.
Thank you very much 😃 I always try to be as clear as I can
@@gowen8128 yes but he put it on youtube.
Where is your diy woodworking video?
wow very nice
@@gowen8128 Your spelling may be the exemplar of perfection but: You're still prick. You lose.
I have seen lots of versions of table saw box joint jigs. But I haven't seen my version anywhere
C'est la solution la plus astucieuse et polyvalente que je cherche. Adaptable à toutes les tailles de créneaux. Bravo pour la démonstration et le partage.
Finally I found the simple jig I was looking for! Rock on! 🤘
Very clever. I always saw videos of thin straight tails and your is the first I watch where it's possible make them wider. Thanks for sharing
I love it!
I bet you didn’t watch it.
That’s a good jig. Thanks. Must try it.
This is a great Jig! Simple and effective. Thank you for posting this video!
Dude that is a cool joint cutter! Thanks for taking the time to show your tool.
Thank you, Sergio. Very very good idea.
Thank you and thanks for watching Sergey 😃
best finger joint jig I have seen.
Clever, and simple. I really like your talent.
Simple?
Thank you very much. I have been googling for two hours. I believe your jig is the easiest and best I've found. Will make one myself.
Much better than doing small finger joints the width of a single blade! Thanks for sharing!
to be honest, I like the protrusions on the finger joints. it is an unintended design interest that would look nice for some applications. it is like the corners of a log-hose that reminds you of the genius of the system.
Congratulations!

Very, very simple, and perfectly presented.
Very impressive.
👍
hahahahaha, thank you 😃 (I hope it is not British Humour 😅)
remarkable and simple solution. Bravo!
Absolutely brilliant! - some fine abrasive paper stuck to the working surface of the thick board might also help to prevent accidental side slip.
Yes, that would help to be more precise when using this jig 👍
@@WoodworkingwithDIYtools p
Very detailed descriptions of what you are doing. Very well done. The fixture is great. Thank you sir.

alan connelly only problem with your thinking is if you are making drawers. They will be too small in this case. 🤷🏼♂️😊
He actually says at the end that he forgot to set the blade height. It’s wrong...
Genius. A new solution to an old problem. Keep working on it.
Genius! I love how you explain every step. Keep up the good work.
Best jig ive seen.simplistic at is finest.tip of the hat my friend.
😃 thank you very much Jesse
Brilliant man. The extra pieces sticking they the joint would look nice on a flower box Great video. 👍🇿🇦
really good video, good explanation, easy to understand
I love how the word "aluminium" is a song.
Author correctly uses the British English version. :) Far nicer than “Alloominum” used elsewhere. ;)
Al metal was discovrrrd by an English chemist. He named it "Aluminium". When the discovery was first reoorted in America, the name was misptinted as "Aluminum". Americans never bothered with correcting it.
I try to make jig like on your tutorial a view days, and ist's work! Thanx brother...
Thank you for sharing your method. I don’t see the blade height as a mistake. You were demonstrating how well the fingers fit together. The extra length demonstrated this very well. Good work! 👍🏼
Great. Just what I was looking for-- double width fingers with a single blade.
Great work Man!
Thank you very much for sharing this twist!!!
Awesome video, one of the best for doing dados minus the dado blade
Aliminiuuuuum ,i love your accent!!nice jig!!
LOL, thank you very much. For Spanish people is very difficult to pronounce that "m" at the end of some English words
Yeah I kind of sounds like singing :) the same with: the first oneeeeee
his english has improved a lot also since his very first video.. nice for sharing these videos. amazing as always
Aluminium is WRONGLY pronounced by american for your kind Info !
@@sajidullah i know,Americans sound so stupid when they say Aluminum!weird
thank you for this video it sure helped to understand how to do it

i saw a few videos from others..but i think this is the best..so simple..but nice..and i we learn so quickly..thanks alot..
Thank you very much Ismail. And thanks for watching
Very interesting table saw jig!
Thank you very much Scott 😃
Excellent design, build and demonstration. Feliz navidad.
Thank you very much. Happy holidays 😃
Very clever, I adopt this method now !
Aloominyooom 😂 great jig, my guy 👌
Excellent! I love that it will work for various widths! Thanks for this video!
Awesome technique. Thanks for showing this method. I really like your videos and your crazy accent.
You must be a teacher. You explained everything so clearly and in such detail. Great job.

Tom Sherron remember to set your height
Thanks for sharing this jig, nice and simple way to make a finger jointed box.
Thanks for showing how & sharing that
Thank you very much 😃
Günlerce nasıl yapacağım diye düşündüğüm şeyi çok anlaşılır bir şekilde anlatmışsınız. Çok teşekkür ederim.
It took me awhile into the video but then I was like, “Oh! Awesome!” Nice work.
People expects to see the usual box joint jig, but it is not the usual one 😃
For fhe 1st time im not able to understand how it works.. but now i realize ur method is the best for making finger joint without dado stack👍👍👍
Great for a design element in future projects. really liked the set up on the actual saw. Well done.
Just brilliant. Well done
That's quite clever, thanks for sharing it. :-)
Morten Mortensen
This makes a lot more sense than some of the other jigs being demonstrated. Good Job! I am going to try to make one of these.
It just can be a bit tricky to make. You must be very precise when making it 🙂
Man, that was a great video! I've been looking for one of these finger joint jigs that don't require a dado stack, and this one is the best. Thank you, you got a like and sub from me 👍👍
I've just had my mind blown.....bravo sir!
hahahaha, thank you very much James 😃
Ahh, now I understand!! The second piece of Aluminium is to compensate for the width of the sawblade
I missed that completely......doh!
Hi that was an excellent presentation.
this is perfectly simple thanks. I've been watching a ton of channels and this one is the easiest :-)
absolutely brilliant mate
4:50 "and I repeat until I CUT ALL THE FINGERS"... please don't!!!!😅
Loved the idea for the jig and happy to know that I am not the only one that makes mistakes!
Handy to know. I'm just cracking up how consistent you are with saying certain words. "Aluminyummmm"
Aluminium is the correct way but here in the states we spell it differently. I really like the original though.
😂😂😂 I have a problem with the n and the m at the end of the words. Also when I speak in Spanish, for example I always say listonnnnnnn (wooden strip) 😂😂😂. Just when I record the comments, not in day to day
@@WoodworkingwithDIYtools it was a great video. Keep em up!
Still a good jig I'm on it
I can only speak English and your tips and accent are all superb. Many thanks.
Wow....Excellent jig! I get confused with this type of jig....but it works great!
Thank you Kerry. I was not sure it would make a finger joint that fits, but it works :D
simple to use Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family
many thanks
Thank you very much. Happy holidays to you and your family 😃
Good sir i am your fan
Awesome Jig ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Nice demonstration, I like the log cabin style on the joint. Blade height was just fine.
Awesomely simple my good friend. Marry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Don't you love auto correct. Merry Hum bug to you too.
