The Lynn Sabin Jig: A Great Box Joint Jig
Fred T's inquiry at the Speaker Forum, in which he asks about small boxes for external crossovers, has roused me out of my torpor sufficiently to post concerning a great homemade box-joint jig. The link is below. If you have a tablesaw, this jig makes box joints easy. Highly recommended. I love using contrasting woods, light and dark: I made my mother-in-law a beautiful (if I do say so myself) box using maple and cherry, with cherry top and bottom, for Christmas, and a half-finished crossover box is waiting for me in the garage (when it unfreezes). I'm using a 30" version of the "basic" model, hardware from http://www.mcmaster.com (although you can get it almost anywhere). Slight wobbling can a be a problem, so the new "more stable" design is on my short list for this Spring. Lynn Sabin's Box Joint Jig
I've always just used the "tongue-same-sized-as-the-slot-cut-and-move-it-over-one" method but I love turning cranks, whirring gears and accurate stops. Thanks for the link. I have a box joint project in mind and will build this.
