    Finger Joint Software

    Several months ago I found and downloaded a nice little software program that designed all six sides of any size box including the finger joints for all sides, top and bottom. Unfortuneately, my computer crashed and I lost the program. Does anyone know the location of this free software?

    There are some threads on this. Look for box joints and boxes.

    I have not used it yet since I have yet to get a laser but Boxmaker may work for you. It is free and requires no download. I have no affiliation what-so-ever with whoever makes Boxmaker - I'm curious to see if my first post gets me in trouble. ;-)

    Welcome to SMC. I followed the links and they seem harmless enough, at least to me. And your suggestion answers the OP's question.

    There is another program similar to BoxMaker but more advanced that can make all different types of shapes, not just boxes. I spent a fair bit of time yesterday searching for it but came up empty handed. Wish I could remember what it is called. I can't believe I didn't bookmark it.

    This is the one that you wanted to refer it to?

    Yes, that is the one I was looking for! Amazing. I searched for "Boxit" in google but it does not come up.
