    A long time ago, a "2x4" was 2" x 4", or about 51 x 102 mm. Later, they planed about 1/8" off each side, so they were 1 3/4 x 3 3/4. Then at some point around 1970, lumber yards decided that they didn't need to be that big, and made them just 1 1/2 x 3 1/2. (38x89 mm) But it's still called a 2x4.

    94x45 mm here in europe, at least Finland/Sweden that's whats a planed 2x4 mean. Sawn is 50x100mm. This difference in planed 2x4s sizes caused me some trouble when I built your box joint jig, it can't box joint a full euro 2x4, only a north american one. If I had known that I'd have made the box joint jig taller so I could box joint a whole 2x4
