so I finally got the Incra jig Friday, installed it Saturday and made some perfect box joints the first time.
Now What? I'm having a hard time deciding what to make and how. The joints will be easy, but in all the posts and threads, even from the greats like Bill Wycko and the awesome humidors he makes, I can't quite find or decide how the bottoms are best installed etc. I know enough that I can do blind grooves and assemble the bottom while gluing up the sides, but is that the way most are doing it. Or if the bottom/base is proud of the sides can the sides just be glued to the bottom/base?
My ultimate goal is to make 4 nice jewelry boxes, one for each daughter and wife (just one wife). I envision a base with sides, then another base "layer, more sides etc. building the jewelry box up to a certain height, how would one attach the "layers". I want to practice a bit on some easy simple boxes fisrt, then I should just have to expand on it using the same techniques.
Does anyone has the Incra project book, and is it worth it? I see they have plans that would most likely help me out.
thanks in advance
