How To Make A Box Joint Jig

Welcome back everyone. Recently I have become a little obsessed with making box or finger joints. I decided that I wanted to build a changing table for my soon to be born son, and part of that was trying some new techniques. So, one of those new techniques that I was itching to try was box joints. I was surprised just how simple it was to make a jig to make accurate cuts in no time. This week, I figured that I would share exactly how I went about making them. Hope you enjoy!

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.

By far the easiest setup I’ve seen to date thanks 🙏

[daneilers]

Great instructional video: the best video I've seen on box joints.

[allbeit]

Great instructional video. Clear and concise. You were born to teach.

[mkbman]

Watched several other videos but yours was the easiest way to do it by far. Thanks.

I’ve been looking for a “not complicated” approach video on this for a while. Great video.

[oldschoolers_view]

This is the clearest video I have watched on this subject.

[snydercustomwoodwork]

I know this is an old video, but absolutely the best demonstration I have found yet!

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!!!

Soft way in explaining and expressing way to the viewer, thnx . You are suitable to be a school teacher too. .

[johncooper]

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

[atekjac]

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!

[juliodavid]

Great video and simple easy to follow instructions. Just went out to the garage and did it. Came out perfect. Thanks for the easy to understand video.

[jimfisher]

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

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

[billbuchanan]

Well done. Your clarity for this newb is spot on.

[Colorado-Tinkering]

You REALLY never disappoint. As always, presented as though you have been trained to teach on TV.
I will absolutely use this new “trick”.

[geoffmiller]

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!”
