The Box Joint Jig Story in Photos
The first part of the task was making the Jig. It is 1/2 Baltic birch and about 30 inches long. It is long enough that it reaches the full length of my small router table with lots of room for clamps.

| This is the first box that I made. It took a few tries to get the fit correct but once learned it is going to be quick and easy. As a note, the box is poplar finished with Orange Shellac, two coats. |

| Just for perspective. |

| This is the other type of joint that I wanted to do. As you can see this one is not perfect. I need to refine this joint because I want to make some bird houses and use no fasteners, so there will be no rust showing on the outside after a season or two. |
