Hmmmm........with this system you have to do all the boards indiviually. I made a jig a 10 or 15 years ago which enables you to do up to a dozen or 15 boards at a time (if you are batch making drawers, for instance, that becomes very useful).

I must take some photos over the weekend.

"not too tight, not too sloppy, just right"

I think I like the sound of Goldilocks :lol:

Sorry Steve :wink:

Good vid, I enjoyed it

Cheers

You could do that with this if you wanted. Well, OK, 15 might be a bit of a squeeze, but you could certainly do 4 at a time. You could do 15 if you made the peg longer, I suppose.

TBH if I want to make drawers or boxes I dovetail them. I really did this out of interest because I was asked and I fancied the challenge.

But I would very much like to see yours, of course!

Pukka! Good little jig. Once I get my RT back up I'd like to make one of those.

Good idea with the guard, I wonder who you meant when you said you'd seen the result of someone routering their fingers....... :shock: :lol:

I retract my previous comments. This guy blows you out of the water Steve, sorry:

Great. So I've wasted a couple of weeks, thanks, Tom. I love you, too.

I have to admit, though, he is good. He has a very ingenious tenon jig, too. Not as easy to set as mine, though! But yes, he has a very inventive mind.

I wonder how he gets on gluing that joint up?

Steve, thanks for the vid on finger joint jig.

If anyone is interested Triton did a special finger jig router cutter (it has serrated cutter edges for better waste disposal) .

Dont know if cutter is still available, Argee might know?

I'm sure that jig will be on my list. I also see your washing machines up and running, hope you didn't put the other shirt in with the whites.

John...nice, touche :wink: ...no thingie over the 'e' though ( I think) - Rob

 

[Benchwayze]

Did you mean one of these Rob? (Touché )

It's all in fun though Rob, eh.. so the acute or grave or whatever doesn't matter!

What does matter is I must get to SWIMBO's kitchen this summer, and a batch cutting finger-joint jig would help! I am using some WPB for the drawer stuff, and I know finger joints work ok with that.

I'd sooner have dovetails, but to save time, a vertical pin in the corners of each finger-joint should be enough to resist drawer-pulling force.

Steve, the thing about Mathias' jig is that it's jaw droppingly genius, but no one will ever make it. Why would anyone spend so much time to make a box joint? Your jig took you a couple of hours at most and worked first time (ish) I know which one I'll be making
