Box joint

[Gary Breckenridge]

:)I read an article on box joints in Wood Magazine and just had to try it out. This 10" box is made out of 1/2" walnut and finished with satin varnish. This is a technique that I wanted to add to my skill bank.:)

That looks good Gary, and it looks old too. Nice job.

Great job with the joints and nice looking box.

i've always loved the antique look of box joints and you've done very well!! great job

[Tom Burger]

Very nice!
I just started messin' with box joints, also.
My first couple attempts were a bit snug, so I'm
working on tweaking the jig.
Any advice for getting a good fit?

Nice box Gary. You must have read the same box joint article in Wood that I had enjoyed. Like you, I just had to build the jig and try my hand at it. Here is the box that I first made with the new jig and my new Freud box joint set of blades. Ironically, it, too, is made of walnut.

i use an adjustable jig. theres a couple of plans out there. makes it alot easier to dial in a good good fit.
