This was a fun one! It's super satisfying to see an idea come to fruition and work as you had hoped. To be honest, I didn't think it was going to work as well as it does! I really like how you hardly need any hardware to assemble the jig, basically just 2 bolts and nuts for the tightening knobs, and everything else can just be scrap wood that's lying around. But one of the best things about this jig is the ability for lateral cleanups (explained in the video) which allows for perfect-fitting joints. If you spot a way it could be improved upon, don't hesitate to drop it in a comment below. Thanks for watching!

I like your approach - nice and simple and gets the job done. However I'm also an engineer so can't help offering a suggestion. The weakest link is the key just glued in place ( at 9:14 ) . Its important that the key is exactly the same width as your saw blade otherwise the joints would be too loose or too tight. So if you make a saw kerf in the back mount and insert a matching width key in the saw kerf it will be much stronger and less likely to break over time. Cheers...

Hah, funny you should say that. Although the key has remained strong so far, I made another copy of this jig and made a slot in the back of the fence where I can wedge in the key for more stability. Great minds must think alike!

Thanks so much!

So far the best best box joint jig I have seen. Not too complicated, easy to build, easy to use and very versatile!

I might try this out. I have not had luck with some others in the past. I really like the look of finger joints.

FINALLY!! A simple and fully functional box joint jig.

There may very well be others out there like this, but yours is simple to follow, the instruction is patient and precise. Thank you.

Spectacular. You're ingenuity is amazing. I love it and can't wait to try. Thank you so much for sharing!

Love the out takes. Gives me confidence an amateur woodworker that even pro make mistakes.

A point of view of woodworking is the perspective that adjustable with high accuracy yet ultra-simple concept in jig design creates an eloquence that only woodworkers can appreciate.

Pretty smooth on both the thought process, and the jigs made. Very nice sir.

So this is the jig which I have been looking for the last several months. Easy to build & easy to use. Thanks, M/S. Fisher,s shop.

A clever solution! Plus its fun seeing how good old Mr. Fisher started on YT. I enjoy this and will definitly build something like that.

GREAT simple design. I especially like the versatility of the guides and that you can easily "clean" out the cut. Thanks. This is MUCH easier to make compared to the other ones on the web.

A very nifty improvement to the standard jig. Thanks!

Like the look of this and plan to replace my overly complicated jig with something like this. In particular I like the compactness of your design. Thanks for sharing.

this is definitely my favorite Box joint jig.... thanks for sharing my friend

This is a great jig. I've been looking for something like this for a while.

Awesome jig. I appreciate the share and will definitely be trying to build this one in the near future..

Love it. Alot simpler and imo better than the rest of the jigs on the Web.

I have purchased several of Fisher's plans and find them all to be easy to follow and very solid builds. Among the best fixtures and jigs I've seen.

far better than going out to buy one, make one. Thank you for the info, will probably try this.

Great video man! I have yet to make any box joint jigs, let alone jigs to make my jigs! Well done on the project and the video. So easy to follow and I loved the addition of the 3D model to show it off. This is an area where a CNC could pair well with traditional woodworking by cutting the templates for your sled.

@FishersShop

7 жыл бұрын

Thanks 9er! I actually didn't show all of my previous failed attempts to make the templates. I first tried cutting same-width slices on the tablesaw and then just gluing them together in a staggered form. Didn't work, too much variance. Then I tried using spacers and using them as a fence and essentially walking a hand-held router down the edge of a board. Super fail. Then I even tried doing it all by hand with precise measurements and a marking knife. That was a big negative. Easiest and simplest way was to just make 2 more finger joint jigs for the router. Worked perfectly the first time! But you're right, the CNC would have worked perfectly in this situation.

i liked how you cut 2 boards at once. Never would have thought to do that

Absolument génial et de plus d'une simplicité déconcertante !

Ok maybe I’ll finally make a finger joint jig! This one is simple and your video is really clear on the process even without plans. Making wide fingers without massive router bits is easy too, so long as they’re three times the width of any router bit: just make the usual template and then remove every third tooth from the comb. When cutting using this comb just skip the narrow gaps.

Thanks for putting the Video it was really great and simple Regards, Trevor from Australia

Thanks for sharing this video. Seeing that your a woodworker like me and don't charge for your stuff, I became a subscriber to your channel. Love your stuff so far bud... keep up the awesome work...

Very nice , I did woodworking for 17 years professionally and now retired and disabled enjoy watching videos I like the fact that yours is simple to build and use some of the others on KZread over complicate things with all the moving parts and mathematical equations I used to preach to apprentices that were on the ball that there are a hundred ways to do it but pick a way you know works each time, mine may not be the best for you but it works for me and hasn't failed yet the kiss system is a good one in our trade since no two pieces of wood are the same if you screw one up there is no grabbing another to fix your mistake , that was always the best part of the job getting the grain patterns cut correctly and when you start getting too complicated is when failure is easier ... keep it simple stupid is what I tell myself all the time

That is the most and efficient jig that i've ever see ... i've see o matheus on woodgears some jigs about fingering joints...that are to way complicated to build ..but this ...this is gold to me ! I will build it in short time ! Thanks alot for sharing this with us ! Keep it going like that !

The blooper reel was instructive. "That's why you can't use hardwood for your templates," explained why you couldn't just use the router to cut your joints in the first place.

I've been waiting for this jig for so long! Congrats, now I'm off to go make it!! Seriously though, great job and thank you!!!

I think this is a great jig. I was considering using dovetails for my project but they are quite involved. Box cuts would simple enough but lacked a good jig - this has filled that gap. In the UK dado stacks aren't sold, or at the best, very uncommon - again, this jig addresses that. This is a very well thought out jig that has got so many benefits. I can't wait to try this out.

5 years later but I think dados are now being sold in the UK. I know one guy I follow over there did a video awhile back about them being allowed

Found yourself a new subscriber, who will definitely be building one of these, in the not too distant future, so many thanks for the free plans. I must've watched almost every video on here, about making this type of jig, but it's perfect for me, here in England, as we are not allowed to use Dado stacks, so the single blade jig is perfect. Super jig & thank you for sharing it. God bless you. Glyn.
