that was an awesome video. I watched a few others today and most of them hid what you showed us so we can watch him go through a process but you couldn't see what was actually going on. I'm 71 and I haven't tried one of these yet and I've been wanting to for I couldn't tell you how long. I will be very soon. thank you for your help and really great explanations.
After watching the video advert i was still skeptical. But when i finally downloaded the plans th-cam.com/users/postUgkxZF0EMnrujZvqHhGkxiz559uIABJWR9TG i was very impressed. The whole plan was just as you said in the video. Thank you very much. I now have a large and valuable collection for my woodworks. This is great!
You know what mate.ive seen dozens of vids of people making box joint jigs.but yours was the best and simplist description I've seen. Thanks for that.great vid.👍
Actually one of the most straightforward and simple explanations of box joints I have watched. Didn’t over complicate it. Great video for beginners like me. This will start me on box joints and hopefully build on the complexity from here
Not long been into woodworking and I’ve recently searched about two dozen “how to do box joints “ and then came across this, which I believe is about 4 years old, and it is by far the most practical and simplest explanation I’ve come across, I was about to give up on the idea but now I’m excited, thank you very much, also subscribed. 👍 All the best to you. Regards Jim
Thanks for the explanation and the encouragement. I’ve been putting off making a jig because I thought I needed to build the “perfect” cross cut sled. This was the vid I needed to see so I can “go for it!”
I've been meaning to do box joints for a long time and the instructions in this video are so clear that I wanted to rush to my workshop and try one out. Thanks for putting up this video. You are a very good mentor!
excellent ! such an easy way of getting accurate repeat joints without faffing around remeasuring . I would never have thought of this method if I hadn't seen this video. Can't wait to try this out . Thanks for making the tutorial
I’ve been watching a lot of woodworking videos… Just ran into your posts. You definitely need to step things up a notch and have your own tv show on a station like HGTV! I’ve watched several of your vids and you even quickly answered a question for me that I had regarding a Festool saw. Because of that, I just ordered my new saw minutes ago… Your videos are super precise, clear and informative! Thanks!!!
Saw the the video of the shop tour with Jay Bates. And looked you up and glad I did. I have watched at least a dozen videos of how to make a Finger Joint jig. Well GLAD I WATCHED YET ONE MORE BECAUSE THIS IS ONE BUILD.
Thank you for the clear instructions. I’ve probably watch 2 dozen videos pledging to be the easiest or greatest box joint jig. I think that you hit the mark.
I have done this joint many times with a very similar jig. Thanks for the reminder. With a little fiddling you can make your own wooden hinges. Many possibilities.
Jason - I just wanted to say thanks for all the great information on your channel. I've spent the last 2 evenings binge watching most of your videos and particularly enjoyed the cabinet series and your 10 tools recommendation. Looking forward to your future vids..
Love the video man! I’ve seen some crazy DIY builds for finger joint jigs and I can honestly say that this is the first one I think I can actually build lol
Fantastic tip for anyone that hasn't done these before. When I built my first box I didn't have a table saw. I was doing everything by eye and hand. Even though it turned out alright, I wish I had had this information earlier. It can be this easy! Thank you for sharing.
I've made a few of these for various projects. A useful tip I've used for small boxes is using wooden paint stirrers. One gallon sticks are 1/8" and 5 gal sticks are 1/4", best part is that they're free.
I'm sure that after watching your video , I'm ready to make my first finger box joint. You set the camera on the right angle showing every single detail . Thank you for your post. Keep it up the good work and regards from Brazil.
Bro... I'm 35 years old and only just getting into woodworking, I decided I'd start with a simple box then I discovered finger joints lol 🙈I must have watched 10-15 different videos trying to grasp this technique but I've been struggling UNTIL NOW! You've just made these well easy, BIG UP URSELF ! 1❤ from the uk
Nice vid but I just wanted to throw out a tip. Box joints look better when there is an odd number of fingers. The example that you hold up in the video, for example has 12 which results in the light colored wood on the right having a finger at the top but not one at the bottom. I know that it sounds like a small detail but if you use an odd number it gives the box more symmetry. Try it out, you'll see what I'm talking about. In fact, check out William Ng's video on making box joints. Nice vid though, thanks!
Awesome job, perfect tutorial. I did basically the same made a jig and then bought the box joint jig from Incra and it’s definitely a game changer. I just have to say the changing table came out incredible. Take care.
Nice. 👍🏻I have tried this once before, and my jig was off slightly and nothing fit. Time to trying again. Thanks for showing how to set up the spacing to get a perfect fit!
I just finished my third table with finger joints on 2x3s without jointing them. they are straight from the home depot. But the depth is cool as I used my new pantorouter to do it. Now Ive got a new table for my dust collector, my router table and the last one is for my new hibredpentorouter
Very nice, simple and similar to Norm Abram’s jig for finger joints. I think that rather than making 2 runs you can overlap the two pieces of stock offsetting the top piece by one slot which allows you to make the rest of your slots for this pair in half the time with the bottom piece acting to minimize rip out somewhat in the top piece. I like that you used your dado set for cutting the slots as the blades have square tips. A regular ripping blade doesn’t have these and is unsuited to this task. Thanks for the tips here and with your other projects. It was well down, well videoed and easy to follow.
A couple of minor changes that I like to do. 1. a small chamfer on the top of the indexing pin makes it just a little bit easier to move from one pin to the next, and 2. a small relief cut at the bottom front edge of the backstop board helps keep sawdust from affecting your cuts. Great video, thank you
Watched your video yesterday and used the method today with glaring success! Thank you for a very good video explaining the process. Like the fact you are a veteran!
Long time carpenter who has just started woodworking. I do not know why it took me so long since it was what I loved. I am learning a lot of cool techniques by woodworkers such as yourself sharing the craft. Thank you. I have subscribed and will follow as a student of the craft.
