Plans for this jig have been removed since I updated it with a MUCH BETTER version. Check out the newer version in this video: • Shop Work: Ultimate Ta...
I conjured up the idea of a fully customizable box joint and finger joint jig that allows for any width fingers but that is still super simple to assemble and operate. I think I may have just done it!
The idea is so simple that I'm sure I'm not the first person to come up with this design, however I haven't seen anything quite like it online. If you'd like to try making this jig for yourself, you're welcome to the plans I drew up. As a thanks, please consider sharing the video and becoming a subscriber! The larger the audience, the more fun we can have!

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!

@jagros4672 7 лет назад

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...

@FishersShop 7 лет назад

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!

Great jig so far....what type of stock did you end up using for the router driven template?..Everything I use shatters...cheers ern

Love you Drew! You're amazing at wood working, you're funny and I love your ingenuity. Thanks for sharing via video and downloadable plans. I built my flp cart and several jugs via your plans and the plan details were perfect! Thanks!

@FishersShop 17 дней назад

Thanks so much!

@Kurgosh1 5 лет назад

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.

@MrBonners 4 года назад

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.

@craigmonteforte1478 6 лет назад

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 RU-vid 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

Best tip was at 10:15 being able to straddle over the blade horizontally. Doing something like that would normally scare the daylights out of me but what a great way to clean things up from an ATB blade!

@thorlo1278 3 года назад

Mr. Fisher say hello to another Fisher. My name is Daniel Fisher from MS, although my dad was originally from a town just south of Akron, OH. Who knows, we may be somewhat related. Liked the jig, nice make up. However, if I made finger joints, I would use my dado blade and cut each finger the width needed all at once instead of making multiple passes. Also I subscribed, hit the bell and gave it a 👍. Like one guy said about your vids, no music! 😍

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.

@FishersShop 7 лет назад
