I am an engineer,toolmaker not a woodworker and I am only half way through this video but have to stop and say what a brilliant piece to camera and narration. It has everything clearly shown and explained. Will subscribe as this is the information I am after . Just brought my very first “ small “saw bench this week to ultimately make small box’s in my retirement
What I love about your channel is that you don’t promote the latest & greatest gadget. You use your ingenuity to solve problems.
I love this jig! Easy, quick and versatile! Thanks for sharing your time and talent
Thanks for teaching us stuff HoneyBadger. Making some wooden toys for the grandkids this morning. Have a great Saturday!
Nice! My nephew has been wanting me to make his a lamp on the laser cutter. now that I have that built in out of the shop he knows I have room to set the laser back up hahahahahaha.
I have looked at many box joint jig videos in preparation to build my own. YOU are the WINNER! I love it, the simplicity, adjustability, and use of remnants is just what I wanted. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks, that was my goal so I appreciate that!
I appreciate her simplicity in explaining how to do it too!
An innovation I thought up is a to cut 8 shallow box joints on thin material and use them as clamping cauls. They key into the notches and you can put your bar clamp across them to push the keys in tight without marking or popping any of the keys.
Excellent video and commentary.
I almost always learn stuff from you, and this video is no different. I think I'll try this approach (after many previous failures with box joint jigs). Thanks for posting and thumbs up.
I’m hoping this one changes my luck with making box joint jigs.
Sweet sled 👊! I like the adjustability. My biggest downfall in the shop is not taking the time to make jigs that have some adjustability and can accommodate multiple variations of a process. It's always slam something together that gets the job done then and there. A lot of one-off fixtures start to accumulate. Thanks for sharing ✌️
I’m in the same boat. Even this was simple to make by jig standards and I dragged my feet with it. I have to steam bend some wood for my current project. the form I have to make for that is infuriating because I know to properly make it will take a few hours and I will never use it again.
Always a pleasure to watch and listen to your explanations... no annoying distracting musak .. and simple easy projects...
Simple jig with versatility. Like it.
Thanks!
Nice video. I made a finger joint jig yesterday following a mix of Steven NG and Frank Klaus videos. Took me two tries to get a good result. Steven NG gets technical about his jigs; i like your simple approach
Gawd! I love the fact that your pieces of scrap look just like mine - scrappy! None of that "here's a piece of Baltic birch ply (perfectly white, flat and squared) I just happen to find lying around..." Yeah, right ;o)
Thanks for the video and excellent presentation and explanations. Not quite what I need for my project, but I certainly use a couple of things to add to the jig I'm making.
Don't know the plastic you use - bad experience with store-bought HDPE sliders has put me off "unnatural things". I use red meranti wood for mine, and once in place and screwed on, I just soak it in cutting board oil. Don't notice any after effects from ambient humidity changes. Helps with smooth sliding too :o)
Nice, I’ll look into that because I’m almost out of the stuff I have.
Well done young lady!
Thanks!
You're one of the few I see using a Radial Arm saw. I just refurbished an old Craftsman for my shop thinking nobody uses those anymore. But it was given to me so what the heck. Nice jig. I'll revisit this video to build one for myself. Thanks.
I use that saw almost as much as my table saw. I want to build a better miter station one of these days and I’m hoping to pick up another RAS to keep a dedicated dado stack in. They sell used for so cheap.
Wonderful, very useful, quick jig. Thank you for sharing. Everyone stay safe, happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia
Thanks!
Nice job. Love to see the Radial Arm saw in action. Learned a lot thanks for sharing!
Great video! I built one for a single blade that was very similar based out of the UK. It used stops at each end for the widths of the keys. Now I want a t-track to prevent the sliding piece from tipping out 😀. Appreciate the inspiration for the needed upgrade!!
Nice, That's smart with the stops. A couple people on here without dado stacks were talking about making one like that.
Well done, all round, Ms Badger: clearly narrated explanation, video thoroughly illustrating everything, and the product is a real winner for accurate, repeatable work with the great advantage of flexibility to allow making joints with finger widths to match a wide variety of projects. Furthermore, in most workshops the material cost will prove minor. Compare it to the cost of buying a manufactured jig or to the common shop-made variety that works for one finger width only, and this one wins hands down.
Thanks! I actually just used this again the other day and it still works great. Pretty happy with how this one turned out.
Thanks for sharing ❤
That's it! I'm definitely going to build one now. Been 'going' to make one for so long and just never got round to it. No dado blades in the UK though so maybe a tweak needed... Thanks for sharing.
I have seen on RUclips people that design these for a single kerf.
@@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks Yes, it's what I need but I have a great 6mm flat toothed grooving blade and am trying to come up with a jig that can make repeatable different size cuts without tear-out. I'll video it! Thanks HB.
Thanks again for sharing.
Have a great week.
You have a great week too!
Nice job on the jig. I built one following woodsmith plans your is much less complicated and just as good.
Yeah, I don't know who the originator of this design is, but there are many many versions of it online. My goal was to make it as quickly as possible, as cheaply as possible, and not to have to make it again because of accuracy issues. So hopefully this one holds up.
Nice…….excellent engineering! Happy Saturday HBW!
Thanks!
Nice finger joint jig!
👍 for the yellow tank top too. 😛😍
Nice! Thank you for posting! Take care & stay safe.
Thanks!
Great work. Awesome project! Brilliant idea! Thanks for another awesome video.
Thanks!
Like it! Should make this jig one day. Still no dato but with hope there is life(esproire fait vivre...)..cheers...rr
The no dado thing sucks.
Super ce gabarit,très efficace et très précis,bravo, à bientôt salut Jeannot ⚒😉
Thanks!
Nice! It’s like an old dynamite box!
It’s a really old clicquot club box, they made sodas.
Nice! Quick and useful jig, thanks Caitlin. Did I miss something though? I don't recall seeing or hearing what the adjustability was for, apart from swapping to other sized key slides.
In my experience even though this cuts perfectly now, it never stays that way, especially being kicked around the shop. So the next time I go to use it, if the joints are off I can micro-adjust the plate back into alignment. And like you said to also swap out to other sizes.
Thanks for sharing
Nice jig. Have to make one this weekend. Thanks
I meant for the big box you built. I am in the process of building this jig. Thanks.
The glue-up from the box in this video? Or the big box I just posted in my shorts using the same jig? I don't show the glue up for the box in this video because I wanted to focus on the jig . Adding a full box making tutorial to this video would make it too long.
Nice jig! You can get a plastic material the same size as your mitre gauge slot on your table saw from different woodworker's supply houses also aluminium slide material!
Thanks, I'll have to remember that for when my limited supply of Corian runs out.
Thank you for the video, as usual, good stuff, you are a great teacher.
Thanks!
Great jig. I love your channel. Keep up the good work.
Thanks!
_beautiful box - very well narrated_
Thanks!
A great jig, another occasion I wish I could get a dado stack to fit my table saw 🥺, I might still have a go at making the jig (when I have some spare time) to use on my router table, I can’t see why it won’t work 🤔, I love the adjustability of it and I do love a box joint 👌👌👌👍👍👍🇦🇺
The illegal dado stack thing is so wild to me. I read it's because you have to take the safety guard and riving knife out in order to use them so certain countries made it illegal. So manufactures have shortened the arbor in saws so people actually can't use them. In my experience most dado cuts are completely covered, the blade isn't even exposed! I also rarely use my riving knife because I've had issues multiple times where the board binds onto the knife after the cut causing a very dangerous situation.
Excellent demonstration and explanation of this very useful accessory. I suspect that hundreds, maybe thousands of us woodworkers will be taking advantage of what you have shown here today.
As a retired Industrial Arts (AKA "shop") teacher for many years, I would like to offer a gentle correction to some things you said. There is a difference between "grooves" and "dadoes"--grooves are cut WITH the grain of wood, whereas a dado is cut ACROSS the grain. So, the "slot" you cut into the bottom of your box to hold that bottom board is a GROOVE, not a DADO.
But, for most woodworkers, they/we won't get hung up on the particulars of nomenclature. As a teacher, though, I just could not pass up the opportunity to help you and your viewers know that difference so you don't embarrass yourself when you are speaking to an audience of seasoned woodworkers who DO know the difference.
Keep up your excellent work!
thank you :)
You did good girl.
Hello honey badger. I had watched the short clip , and just now finished watching the full episode and like always another great video! You always explain so clearly how you go about the project at hand. I like the use of the T- Track system you used. I think this jig will last a very long time. I know we both have access to a LOWE’S and HOME DEPOT but don’t know if you have a MENARD’S in your area. I’m going there now to pick up some material to start building this jig today. Until the next video, you have a great weekend.
There’s no Menards by me. I wish there was they have a lot of stuff in stock that I can’t find at Lowe’s or Home Depot.
If your joints are "snug" (like yours), you might apply thin super glue to the inside of the assembled joint such that gravity will "wick" it through the joint rather than "yellow" glue. If you add "accelerator" to the mix after you apply the glue, the joint is really, really quick. I've done this dozens of times with no issue. You may need to adjust your "snuggness" so that you get more "wicking" of the glue through the joint. Tip comes from Rob Cosman. This is how he glues his small boxes.
Good to know, thanks!
Thanks. I will definitely build one.
Muy buen tutorial.
Pd: your voice, it's so...asmr...😍😍😍
Saludos de Chile.
Thanks!
Excellent video thankyou for the tips
Something I've done when a box joint didn't come quite together is shave off a little material on the inside face of the fingers so they would come together flush on the outside. Can't necessarily do that on all/any project piece, but if the final size doesn't matter if it's off a smidgeon then it can be done.
Yeah within reason you can get these to work, especially when painted. But, if they are off a bunch it’s a complete wash.
Great content, you got anymore jigs you can share?
Nice!
I believe most of the jig videos I have are linked in the description. I don't have a lot because I'm always short on time and they can be very time consuming.
As I said in the short, awesome 👌
Thanks!
Jigs are awesome
Agreed.
I hate to say the obvious, that cross cut sled is worn out 😊
No apologies, I said it myself in the video.
Did you cut corian with same cut blade of wood ?
Yes, but I don't know if you are supposed to.
Did I miss the glue-up?
what if i don't have a dado blade? will this work for a thin kerf saw?
There are videos on RUclips where people make jigs using only a single blade.
I made one out of plywood scraps once. It ended up in the burn pile. I didn't realize the plywood was warped.
Yeah all the ones I’ve made before this didn’t last long before they started to get out of alignment.
@@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks I found a bunch of melamine 2x4 sheets in the culled pile at home depot one day. Made 3 sleds out of some of it. The other 24 pieces are in the shed. Those 3 are still true as can be. I used hardwood scraps for the fences.
Like I said...
