I may be placing this question in the wrong forum and if I am let me apologize for that.
I am making some jewelry boxes which a local jewelry store will sell in their shop on a cosignment basis (my first real sale my be in the near futrue).
These boxes have a 1 1/4 inch lift out tray, made of 1/4 in padulk which was assembled using a box joint router bit. What I need to know is how to attach the bottom of the tray to the tray its self. I think that if I rout a 1/8 groove in the bottom I risk tearing out the pins or fingers of the box joints. The rabbeting bit I have is also 1/2 inch tall (with numerous bearings) therefore I could only put a rabbet on the very bottom of the tray.
I do have a 23 guage pin nailer but I dont know it this would work very well or not.
Please, any suggetions?
