I finally got around to making a jig for box joints. I feel it still needs cleaned up but at least the basic part of it even going together is there.
Plus I did not sand the wood down at all. I was in to big of a hurry to see if it was remotely going to work.

I also have included a pic of my table saw, pimped out with extra miter slides on each side and extra wing on each side to make for a poor mans table saw.

The other pic is of 4 cherry crotches I won off of ebay for 10 bucks a piece. The top one is starting to split but if it splits no more I still have a couple end tables or something out of it... if it splits to bad then I guess I will have some nice cherry bowls. I dont have weight on them at this moment because they are being moved...

Don't you just love it when a joint comes together the way you want !

Looks like the jig is a definite up and you can make them all day long.

Good job !

Getting box joints to fit nicely is good on its own. Closing with Ronnie Van Zant takes it to another level!
Nice job.
