I have always wanted to learn to make dovetails or box joints. Dove tails are a little fancier, so I started with Box joints. I needed a jig or some type of template. After viewing several online tutorials, I decided I could make my own box joint jig.
I used some scrap steel and made a 'sled' that moves over the router table. I have a backer board that is attached with wood screws to a welded flange, and I can adjust using the 'c' clamps. It seems to be
working fairly well.

Little box from scrap wood to set the spacing,
then cut a few oak boxes. Started the glue up this evening. |
