Miter Spline and Dovetail Key Jig
This is the perfect jig for making beautiful spline joints in boxes. Or even dovetail keys. If you don’t have a dovetail jig and you don’t want to learn to use one, or learn to hand cut them. With this jig you can have beautiful dovetails on the edge of your jewelry boxes or keepsake boxes.
This is a very easy project. If we take away glue time, it was built in under 2 hours. It’s something that a woodworker of any skill level can accomplish, and it is one of the key jigs that I recommend to beginners, because with very little experience, you can begin to make great looking boxes.
This is a comprehensive jig that will work on both the table saw and any router table with a miter slot. There is no need to build multiple jigs for dovetails and splines, or separate jigs for boxes instead of picture frames. This one will do them all perfectly.

Best spline jig video on utube
You and your family are awesome James...just straight up talented, down to earth people unselfishly sharing their amazing bank of knowledge to build their brand name...I wish I'd come across your channel ages ago....the world is a richer place with people like you in it.
Proud of your daughter assisting and learning, great presentation
I am very pleased to see your daughter helping! My daughter used to do the same thing with me . She now remodels bathrooms, kitchens, etc. Ocassionally she will call asking my advice but mostly she calls telling me what her latest job was! Love it!
I’ll be making one this weekend. Thanks James!
That was a great, very informative video. Thanks!
A nice, versatile jig, James & company! Well done!
It's great your daughter does woodworking with you. :)
Pretty cool!!!
Love that maple!!!
This was a very enjoyable watch. Thank you!
Thanks James, really enjoy your videos.
I really like the dovetail idea. Thank you for a really interesting tutorial
Awesome! Definitely building this!
Loving multi use jig. Must build. Added to my to do list. Thanks for the plans
Awesome jig, and Awesome helpers!
Love the simplicity of dove key making with this jig.
Great video. I love the way you show what went right and also what didn’t go according to plan.
This looks like an incredibly useful jig. Thank you. I love seeing your daughter helping you. Love her hair!
Love the dovetail splines looks amazing. Also I love the music at the end of your videos!
Astounding Love the Maple with Dovetails
I made one of these 3 or 4 years ago and used the life out of it. I just built another one! This is one of the most handy (only) jigs in my shop for dealing with miter joints!
That dovetail jig is INCREDIBLE. Very very nice.
Again thanks James thumbs up
Okay, I have been watching this guy for about three months now and I have to say ; this guy has the best daughter in the world. Man, I wish when I have a daughter she would be beside me all the time working with me. Most daughters would be hangout with friends not working with their Dad. Man, this guy is lucky!!!!!
Very nice tutorial James & family
GREAT jig. I'm glad you left in the "short" splines and then rounded the corners to make the project work. We all make those little mistakes and this goes to show that most of the time thee are solutions. Thanks
One thing I don't get James watching your videos is, Bored!! LOL!!! Your perfection cuts with your projects is mind boggling to me. I know it's just a jig and you say anybody can make but it would probably take me a year to make just that. 😂😂😂,, once again GREAT VIDEO my friend and I just love seeing the family helping you out with everything you do, take care and God Bless!!! Thanks for sharing.
Those dovetail splines are really pretty. Great video. I love that the jig can function on the table saw or router table.
holy crap those dovetail key splines are BEAUTIFUL
Best video I've seen of this type of job. Will be making it.
Great job! I'm going to have a go at one of these jigs for sure.
I can't thank you guys enough for awesome and informative videos like this. We are all thankful for the significant time you must spend to provide us with such great content!
Fantastic,great way to accent any box
You guy's are great. I also love that your daughter works in the shop with you. That's as good as it gets. Thanks for sharing your talents and experience.
WOW James, another awesome video. I will definitely be making one of these soon. Bill
I like how you take lots of care setting up your shots and their in Focus! Very professionally done!
Great Projects!
THANKS!
The Pacific coast maple box with mahogany spines is absolutely gorgeous!
Thank you. 2 things when I built mine. The forty-five was set with a drafting square and during test fit on the second side, it was noticeably off…not much-0.4 degrees. Able to zero with my table saw Incra HD miter gauge.
Second, made sacrificial zero clearance plates to cover both saw and router table cuts using 1/4” hardboard top on the back side with a 30 degree dovetailed slot. I kept the two sides of the slot 1/4 inch off the bottom for dust clearance. But the 3 1/2 inch sacrificial plate bottoms out on the opposite side. Works very well. Thank you for the best instructions I found. PS: I also used a knob to hold a Rockler miter gauge bar on the back side. Use it all the time.
I love the fact you don’t try and hide your mistakes. It make me trust you and want to watch and learn more. Awesome channel
Even your jigs are articles of beauty, let alone the boxes and frames you make with them!
As always a great video. thankyou!
Very versatile and very simple jig indeed. Thanks for sharing.
You are rocking it James & co. Love seeing the growth on your channel and as always, another incredibly valuable video.
Thank you so much Tyson.
Geeks Wood Shop ili
I just made this jig for myself and I am very happy with the out come I’m getting.
I appreciate the way you take time to elaborate on small details. As a beginner woodworker it really helps.
Great jig! Thanks!
Dude!!!!! I know this video is years old and I haven't found any recent videos (yet) but I had to chime in anyways.
DUDE!!!! You cant possibly know how much I appreciate your videos. The Sketchup video tutorials and these jig videos are going to save me so soooo much time. I LOVE how you teach, its perfectly done from the perspective of someone knew to learning that particular method/skill. Though I have 30 years of woodworking experience, Im not ashamed to admit that there is ALWAYS something knew to learn.
If I could reach through this screen and shake your hand, I would. Hell, Id give you a hug. Damn FINE job!!!!!
HATE math! I ordered the plans and am in middle of build. I have a project coming up with triple splines and this is going to make my life a whole lot easier. Thank You!
Absolutely excellent video & project!
Love the fact that you are including your daughter in your woodworking. Also nice that she has a keen interest. You go girl.
lovely bright green nail polish my friend
Excellent work as per usual.
Your videos are so helpful! I wish I had found them earlier as I start my woodworking education journey! And I just LOVE that you have taught your girls and get they are so involved!
Best spline jig video i’ve Seen so far

I really like the chamfering on the corners. It add a nice touch to an excellent end product.
Thanks James 😊

Man, you have allllll the tools, great stuff, thank you.
Great video! Not only will I be making a variant of this jig, but I'll have to put a miter slot in my homemade router table. Thanks for the video.
Great work as always! I particularly enjoy watching the interactions with your daughters, what a wonderful way to spend quality time with them, God bless.

James, you are a true talent and inspiration. I love these videos and appreciate that you take the time to do them. Will buy plans and get to work
You are very kind. Thank you!
I built one do these and it works marvelously. Thanks so much.
Very clever and interesting love your attitude to woodworking
Great video. Beautifully narrated.
One of my favorite channels on TH-cam. Always takes the time to explain the details. Another great video. Thx for sharing
James, just rediscovered your projects. Really must say, I am very, very impressed. You, and your apprentice make the whole procedure look so easy. You are a really gifted woodworker. But, what makes the whole thing work for me is the way you describe every stage of the task you are carrying out so fluidly and politely. it's as if nothing fazes you or is too much trouble. My friend, you could be a successful teacher. Please keep them projects coming
Great job, good explanation, and I will make one myself, keep it up
Thank you for this instructional video. It is simply & thoroughly explained & looks very useful.
Very nice jig. I will definitely make me one of these.
Awesome video James. I have been working with Center keyed box joints and was just thinking how I could do this with dove tails. Now I know.
Love the project. Got you over here flexing using fancy purple heart for a miter bar.
Top notch video, thank you !! Im building this jig tomorrow.
Awesome.
Интересно смотреть Ваши видео,с удовольствием наблюдаю ,как Вы дружно что то делаете!👍 Удачи Вам,а главное здоровья.✊
Another great video James but who would expect anything less. Always enjoy every minute of your video's and I never fast forward or jump ahead because I enjoy your teaching that much ! You are a phenomenal woodworker and your family is following a great teacher. They are very lucky to have a father like you James ! I really mean what I say. :-)
Thank you so much. That is very kind!
James, shouldn’t your beautiful daughter have those bracelets on the left wrist off? Looked like they came very close to the saw blade. Just a concerned great grand & grandfather that loves all his grandkids.
I do like your videos. Good job.
Awesome 👍
Great Video!
