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 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!
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.
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!!!!!
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!
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
You should surely turn that into a box, because that wood looks very beautiful.You are surely blessed to have your daughters helping you.Greetings from cold and wet South Africa.
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!!!!!
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.
Its wonderful that your daughter is in the shop helping...(I'm gonna send you a box of disposable glove for glue ups!)...Great video, great jig...from an aesthetic perspective this looks much better than a half blind dovetail hidden in the cabinet.
Very nice jig and beautiful work. It's awesome you get to work with your daughter. How can anyone dislike this video? While I'm typing this, there are over 6k thumbs up and 100+ thumbs down.
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
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!
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.
you sir are a master woodworker and a great teacher. Your daughter is getting an apprenticeship from the best. I am looking forward to seeing her projects soon.
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.
It’s also neat to set your saw blade and various angles say 22.5 and cut the splines. It looks good to have the top spline pointing down and the bottom pointing up. Just a thought happy building
Man... If you would count only one thing in your life that you did right ... is your daughter! Hands down buddy, that you managed to make her love woodworking and manual labour. You are my hero. I failed :-(
One good tip is to make sure your table saw blade cuts a true flat slot. Most blades have teeth that are angled, and alternate orientation on the blade. The result is a high-point in the middle of the cut slot. Look for a blade marked “flat top” or labeled for “box joints.”
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!
Excellent your explanation, a miter guide like yours, I was looking for ... I think I already found it, I see that you have a lovely helper by your side. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. GOD bless you in each of your projects and works, receive a cordial greeting from Cochabamba, Republic of Bolivia.
Great video, and kudos for getting your daughter involved! I batched out a bunch of frames a while back (I just used a delta tenon jig with a 45 deg block), but the wood I was using was super splintery. So since I used the blue tape clamp method, I just left the tape on when I cut the spline slots. Then it occurred to me to leave it on when I glued in the splines. I pulled the tape off after the glue started to set but wasn't solid. Virtually ZERO cleanup... The nice thing about the factory tenon jig is the adjustability, but it really doesn't work for the router table. So I think I'll make one like yours next time I want to do boxes!
Haha I think after watching this video 40 plus times and have all the materials to make it i way excited to make it. Thank you James for such a cool jig!! I can’t wait to build it and start making some awesome looking boxes.
Dear James, Upon witnessing your work yet again; I am at a loss for words. It seems I've said it all before. What I can possibly add perhaps is seeing your daughters taking an active role in the process must be a delight for any parent. Although this is only meant to be a jig, it's manufactured wit the same dedication & care as if it were the boxes themselves. Well mon ami, congratulation once again. Kind regards.
thanks a tonne, i am new to wood work and i have learnt a lot from you, you are good at teaching. specially this project will make my boxes so beautiful and high end. i am very pleased.
Just bought the plans! I had bought plans from another channel here on YT, but it's not anywhere near as nice or as versatile (or rugged) as this one, 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.
Hi James ... All the way from northeast India Shillong ....I'm a fanatic for woodworking although I'm quite a newbie but really loved woodworking.....really fantastic jig u made there!!!! Really good informative videos and have learned a lot from you....one thing though ....would really like to see u making a chess board and how you go about designing and building it!!!!thanks for the videos and really great to see u were always building things with your family and really wish i have a cool family circle like yours!!!!!!cheers......really looking forward to it !!!!!😃😀👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hi James. I have been watching your channel now for a few weeks and can honestly say I'm hooked, this video with the jig is amazing and the results are perfection. You most asuredly have a fan here, please keep up the great work..
I built this last spring so that I could build a dovetail keyed box to display Easter eggs on. It was super easy to build and super easy to use. The results are great. I highly recommend any box builder, or any budding wood worker build this and start making small boxes with it. I need to build more boxes so I can use it more!
Great video, thanks. I bought your plans and decided to cut all the parts on my CNC ( non jig table saw skill are sorely lacking :-) ). Doing a video of the build. Will certainly link your site and plans. Thanks again.
Very cool project, thanks for the demo. I was thinking about building this but with one small modification - allowing to mount the spline jig with some star knobs or just by holding down onto your extreme mitre jig, then I can save on aluminum rails and take advantage of the perfect 90% crosscut sled back. Thanks James!
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!
James, I thoroughly enjoy your videos. Want to share an experience I had in making this jig. I am a fairly inexperienced woodworker and this was the first time I used CA glue. Following your earlier recommendations to always use plenty of glue, I added a generous amount of CA to the miter bar when attaching it to the base of the jig. I used weights to hold every thing down and let it set up for a couple of hours. As you can probably guess, I found the jig securely attached to my table saw due to squeeze out. I used a pry bar to release it but am not able to clean the miter bar well enough to get it to slide easily in the miter slot.
Hi Bob, I’m sorry that happened. If you use acetone, it will dissolve the CA glue off of the miter bar and then your miter bar will fit properly again.
I’ve only just discovered these wonderful videos. I’m curious to know if James has taught woodworking over the years - before doing so on TH-cam. You’re a truly talented teacher James. As talented as you are at woodworking. And I’m guessing fatherhood as well. Wonderful.
Bravo and brava! I always enjoy your videos and it's lovely to see your family working alongside you to create these fantastic projects. One thing I thought I'd mention (and I'm sure you're probably already aware of it) is how the type of blade used in the table saw will affect the end cut. It looked like you were using a blade with a ATBR configuration given your "dados" for the picture frame splines weren't totally flat and had a characteristic "bat-ear" profile. Opting for a flat toothed blade will alleviate those (minuscule!) gaps and produce a flat and square dado. Anyway, great stuff as always!
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. :-)
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.
Well Damn... you went and did it... created the perfect jig... how am I supposed to improve upon this design to make it my own when you've not left ANY room for improvement!! Great Job!!
Real nice video and useful project. Since watching the latest box video I learned that the depth of the cut should be less than width of the stock your going to use for splines. I liked the "sand the chamfer" solution. ;-) Thanks for continuing to make great content.
I am building this. This is an awsome jig concept! I have plans to do some boxes and picture frames for Christmas, and this jig will help immensely! Thank you for the awsome build idea! :)
Very nice! FYI I'm in the middle of building your table saw sled! Long overdue and I can see this as my next jig as I'm building a new vanity for the bathroom and need to cut dados across the corner of the 2x2 square legs to hold the lower shelf. This will be perfect!
A few years ago I worked on a mine site that had nuts and bolts close to the same size as that 4" nut you had for securing equipment such as rock crushers to their foundations. By the way, thanks for the interesting videos.
James I've watched many of your videos and enjoyed them all. I bought the download plans as well as purchased the T track through your Amazon link. I know this will come in handy for the boxes and picture frames I plan to make.

Hi it by in my in
A quick squirt of kero helps when cutting aluminum. The Air force guys use to saw slabs of aluminum, sent one wood chips bersk in horror.
Plans
Proud of your daughter assisting and learning, great presentation

I love that your daughter is in the shop with you! My 9 year old son is finally starting to show an interest and I’m loving it!
Great video. I love the way you show what went right and also what didn’t go according to plan.
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!
Even your jigs are articles of beauty, let alone the boxes and frames you make with them!
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.
Love the project. Got you over here flexing using fancy purple heart for a miter bar.
Love the fact that you are including your daughter in your woodworking. Also nice that she has a keen interest. You go girl.
you sir are a master woodworker and a great teacher. Your daughter is getting an apprenticeship from the best. I am looking forward to seeing her projects soon.
Thank you! That is very kind.
One of my favorite channels on TH-cam. Always takes the time to explain the details. Another great video. Thx for sharing
I really like the chamfering on the corners. It add a nice touch to an excellent end product.
I built one do these and it works marvelously. Thanks so much.
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.
j'adore les assemblages bien le chariot pour la scie de table et la défonceuse un travail sublime je prends le plaisir de voir vos vidéo
That was a great, very informative video. Thanks!
It’s also neat to set your saw blade and various angles say 22.5 and cut the splines. It looks good to have the top spline pointing down and the bottom pointing up. Just a thought happy building
The Pacific coast maple box with mahogany spines is absolutely gorgeous!
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.
Man... If you would count only one thing in your life that you did right ... is your daughter! Hands down buddy, that you managed to make her love woodworking and manual labour. You are my hero. I failed :-(
That dovetail jig is INCREDIBLE. Very very nice.
Very versatile and very simple jig indeed. Thanks for sharing.
Astounding Love the Maple with Dovetails
dovetail keys look easy to make and are very effective against the birch ply! Well done to you and your daughter!
I really like this jig. There are a lot of these out there but I really like this one.

lovely bright green nail polish my friend
Thank you for this instructional video. It is simply & thoroughly explained & looks very useful.
Man, you have allllll the tools, great stuff, thank you.
thanks a tonne, i am new to wood work and i have learnt a lot from you, you are good at teaching. specially this project will make my boxes so beautiful and high end. i am very pleased.
Janes you are an excellent teacher. You and your girls make woodworking look easy and fun. Thank you for the excellent videos!
Thank you very much!
I like how you take lots of care setting up your shots and their in Focus! Very professionally done!
Great Projects!
THANKS!

Now I see dovetail nicely done girls and dad lol James thumbs up my friends
I believe that 4in nut is a cooling tower hub nut. If you think the nut is big you should see the wrench. I used to build them.
Hi James.
I have been watching your channel now for a few weeks and can honestly say I'm hooked, this video with the jig is amazing and the results are perfection. You most asuredly have a fan here, please keep up the great work..
holy crap those dovetail key splines are BEAUTIFUL
Thank you for cutting the splines into triangles. So many people waste do much wood using rectangle pieces.
Great video. Beautifully narrated.
I built this last spring so that I could build a dovetail keyed box to display Easter eggs on. It was super easy to build and super easy to use. The results are great. I highly recommend any box builder, or any budding wood worker build this and start making small boxes with it.

That's a pretty good idea!
Glad you brought up about getting your fingers out of the way. , it happened to me the pin nail shot sideways and hit my finger.
Superb video! I love the simplicity and elegance combined in this video
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!
Вы просто замечательная семья столяров!👍.молодцы! Удачи Вам всем. С удовольствием смотрю все Ваши видео. Спасибо Вам за Ваш канал

Lovely job my friend.Glad you pointed out about your daughter at the chop saw (with the green nails).
Thank you!

Those dovetail splines are really pretty. Great video. I love that the jig can function on the table saw or router table.
Thank you for sharing this! I bought the plans and am working on making this jig!
Loved this! You made it look so easy. I especially LOVE your daughter learning from and working with you ❤️❤️
Hi Elizabeth, Thank you!
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 !

Lol I can’t stop watching this video!! I can’t wait to build this jig!!!
We need to make you one Shaun!
Well Damn... you went and did it... created the perfect jig... how am I supposed to improve upon this design to make it my own when you've not left ANY room for improvement!! Great Job!!
Haha, thank you!
Very nice tutorial James & family
Интересно смотреть Ваши видео,с удовольствием наблюдаю ,как Вы дружно что то делаете!👍 Удачи Вам,а главное здоровья.✊
Good job and you have a great family
Real nice video and useful project. Since watching the latest box video I learned that the depth of the cut should be less than width of the stock your going to use for splines. I liked the "sand the chamfer" solution. ;-) Thanks for continuing to make great content.
I am building this. This is an awsome jig concept! I have plans to do some boxes and picture frames for Christmas, and this jig will help immensely! Thank you for the awsome build idea! :)
Awesome jig, and Awesome helpers!
Love the simplicity of dove key making with this jig.
Again thanks James thumbs up
Nice jig, excellent video... Thanks
Nice jig king. I have been looking for a good spline jig to build. I will be building this. I like the dovetail spline, nice added touch.
Very clever and interesting love your attitude to woodworking
Well done team....another really useful jig.
Nice video! Nice rig! I think I will build one myself. I like the boxes one can make with it! Very versatile!
Very nice jig. I will definitely make me one of these.
Very nice! FYI I'm in the middle of building your table saw sled! Long overdue and I can see this as my next jig as I'm building a new vanity for the bathroom and need to cut dados across the corner of the 2x2 square legs to hold the lower shelf. This will be perfect!
A few years ago I worked on a mine site that had nuts and bolts close to the same size as that 4" nut you had for securing equipment such as rock crushers to their foundations.
By the way, thanks for the interesting videos.
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.
Very nice, however i have used MDF for my sliders. They work great for a few years.
James I've watched many of your videos and enjoyed them all. I bought the download plans as well as purchased the T track through your Amazon link. I know this will come in handy for the boxes and picture frames I plan to make.
Absolutely excellent video & project!
