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.

After watching the video advert i was still skeptical. But when i finally downloaded the plans kzread.infoUgkxZF0EMnrujZvqHhGkxiz559uIABJWR9TG i was very impressed. The whole plan was just as you said in the video. Thank you very much. I now have a large and valuable collection for my woodworks. This is great!

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

Fantastic tip for anyone that hasn't done these before. When I built my first box I didn't have a table saw. I was doing everything by eye and hand. Even though it turned out alright, I wish I had had this information earlier. It can be this easy! Thank you for sharing.

Best video by far on how to do this! Well presented. Thanks. I'm going to make one.

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

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!

Nice vid but I just wanted to throw out a tip. Box joints look better when there is an odd number of fingers. The example that you hold up in the video, for example has 12 which results in the light colored wood on the right having a finger at the top but not one at the bottom. I know that it sounds like a small detail but if you use an odd number it gives the box more symmetry. Try it out, you'll see what I'm talking about. In fact, check out William Ng's video on making box joints. Nice vid though, thanks!

Michael Marrazzo The Midnight Handyman awesome! Glad you found it useful!

Very nice, simple and similar to Norm Abram’s jig for finger joints. I think that rather than making 2 runs you can overlap the two pieces of stock offsetting the top piece by one slot which allows you to make the rest of your slots for this pair in half the time with the bottom piece acting to minimize rip out somewhat in the top piece. I like that you used your dado set for cutting the slots as the blades have square tips. A regular ripping blade doesn’t have these and is unsuited to this task. Thanks for the tips here and with your other projects. It was well down, well videoed and easy to follow.

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

Bro... I'm 35 years old and only just getting into woodworking, I decided I'd start with a simple box then I discovered finger joints lol 🙈I must have watched 10-15 different videos trying to grasp this technique but I've been struggling UNTIL NOW! You've just made these well easy, BIG UP URSELF ! 1❤ from the uk

A couple of minor changes that I like to do. 1. a small chamfer on the top of the indexing pin makes it just a little bit easier to move from one pin to the next, and 2. a small relief cut at the bottom front edge of the backstop board helps keep sawdust from affecting your cuts.

To get the right length of fingers, you set the blade height the same as the thickness of the piece of material you are working with. Set the blade just a little more ( it is better to be a little high) by placing it flat side on the table up to the blade and raise it a little proud of the thickness of the material.

Great job going to give that a shot, thank you.
