Finished butt joint box just in time for...

[Amanda Brimm]

my Rockler box joint jig and bits to show up! That's ok, won't be the last box I make by far. I put the original thread with pictures in the CNC forum: http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?177502-Box-inlaid-with-glitter-epoxy but I figured I'd give it a bump here since I made the box by hand... Thanks for looking!

Nice looking boxes! Since it appears you like to make unique, decorative, classy boxes, I wish you hadn't opted for the Rockler jig but waited a month or so for the new INCRA I-BOX. It will allow you to easily and quickly make standard and decorative box joints on a tablesaw or router table. Below are samples. Look closely at the two larger boxes- they have inserts made from a different wood between the fingers just like those in the second photo.

Oh, that's really cool! Well, I think my next purchase would probably something like this: http://www.mlcswoodworking.com/shopsite_sc/store/html/smarthtml/pages/fast_joint_system.html where I could do all kinds of decorative fancy things... I may have to keep the INCRA I-BOX in mind too though!
