EASY Box Joints and NO DADO!

-----

I've made another box joint jig video? Ah well, I love them!
In this one, I show how you can use #woodfathersjig to not only cut regular old box joints on the tablesaw, but also to cut a variety of patterns with your joints. Same jig, same setup, same easy process - you definitely want to watch this one!

my god. that is the simplest solution ive ever seen! excuse me why i go buy plans and build it

[Rxmedic]

Finally a video actually explaining this setup. Thank you so much

Best box joint jig I've seen on Youtube.

Great solution! Will build this jig in a few days time for sure. Thanks! One thing though, on the back side of the jig the plywood pieces may not snugly fit depending on the pieces used. I will put a bolt with a knob on it through one end of the backside of the jig (of course with a nut inserted in the side piece where it goes through) so I can tighten it and get rid of the remaining space if there is any.

I've been making sawdust for over 40 years. Never made a box joint jig. This is so simple I will definitely make this one. Good job!!

[stevekreitler]

This is genius. I could figure it out from watching the video, but I was happy to pay for the plan- your development work and original concept need to be rewarded!

Brilliant jig. Thanks for sharing. You have earned yourself a subscriber.

I really like your design. One small suggestion about your wording though. At 2:50 you say "Keeping the same side against the fence". I was confused because a crosscut fence is usually perpendicular to the saw blade. After watching it several times I can now see you're referring to the registration fence which is parallel to the saw blade. Because your workpiece has a knot or some other mark on it. It was easy to see that the peace that is facing out initially becomes the piece facing the operator. I initially thought that you had rotated the piece on the other axis. This makes no sense to someone who understands the whole process, But for a first time listener like me it was a source of confusion. You might consider marking the 2 pieces A and B. Or explaining why you want to keep the same edge against the registration fence. Your explanation is great and it helped me understand mistakes I was making while following a different process. Thanks for your efforts.

Dang took that long and was that simple.. what a brilliant idea....

[denisbarry]

The best designs are the simplest thanks for sharing I’ll definitely make one

[rayanderson]

Brilliant in its simplicity. As my saw will not take a dado blade set, I have struggled with ways to make these joints. Thanks for this - I'm off to make one.

So you're telling me that the $269 I spent on the Incra i-Box jig was a waste of money???? Thanks mate. And, now I have to go and build one of these!!! 🤨

Hello Mario,
This Jig is awesome. Super for solid and beautiful joints. Practical and useful. Unless you try innovations, you cannot learn anything new. And you are always trying to teach innovations. And you always produce innovative works and ideas. Thank you for sharing. See you. Big greetings.

I’ve been planning to build a box joint jig. Your design looks so straightforward, easy to setup, modify and use that I am definitely building one of these. I really like the pattern block spacer idea. Those blocks give your jig design huge flexibility.

The Bee Gees at the end cracked me up. Love it!

[cyrilnorrie]

This jig is amazing and is so versatile. Since you're using the same guides for the whole operation, it eliminates error if one is careful to follow the guides closely. I like the way a person can see what the joints are going to look like before committing to sawing them. Thanks for sharing this video.

[dougfishback]

Thanks very much for sharing this great design. I would still use a dado for bigger jobs, but the flexibility of this jig opens up great possibilities for interesting joints on smaller work. For the template stack, I'd try plexiglass tiles and make sure to rip my workpiece to a whole-number multiple of the tile thickness. That way, youre always working with full pins and notches.

[Itslvle]

Dang, that's good. Very easy to visualize to yourself what the joint will look like and how the fingers on both ends will look like instead of hoping you won't get a super-slim finger at the top/bottom.

[davidkroon]

Sitting here with my jaw dropped at this design and it’s simplicity

[lindsaysteer]

Great concept. Spent a few days on it, works brilliant
