Build a Table Saw Box Joint Jig

I've blogged many times in this space about how to create dovetail joinery when building drawers and other projects. Basic through dovetails are a classic look that is also very strong. There are times, though, when a dovetail joint is not an appropriate choice. For instance, dovetails aren't particularly attractive when using plywood.

A good option in such cases would be to use a box joint. There are a number of methods for creating box joints, such as using a straight-cutting bit on a router in conjunction with a dovetail jig.

However, if you have a table saw, there is a much easier way to make perfect box joints. In this set of free woodworking plans, learn how to Build a Table Saw Box Joint Jig that will quickly produce perfect box joints in minutes. The jig is easy to build and works great!
