This was a fun one! It's super satisfying to see an idea come to fruition and work as you had hoped. To be honest, I didn't think it was going to work as well as it does! I really like how you hardly need any hardware to assemble the jig, basically just 2 bolts and nuts for the tightening knobs, and everything else can just be scrap wood that's lying around. But one of the best things about this jig is the ability for lateral cleanups (explained in the video) which allows for perfect-fitting joints. If you spot a way it could be improved upon, don't hesitate to drop it in a comment below. Thanks for watching!
I like your approach - nice and simple and gets the job done. However I'm also an engineer so can't help offering a suggestion. The weakest link is the key just glued in place ( at 9:14 ) . Its important that the key is exactly the same width as your saw blade otherwise the joints would be too loose or too tight. So if you make a saw kerf in the back mount and insert a matching width key in the saw kerf it will be much stronger and less likely to break over time. Cheers...
Hah, funny you should say that. Although the key has remained strong so far, I made another copy of this jig and made a slot in the back of the fence where I can wedge in the key for more stability. Great minds must think alike!
A point of view of woodworking is the perspective that adjustable with high accuracy yet ultra-simple concept in jig design creates an eloquence that only woodworkers can appreciate.
I think your idea is worth making , for the longest time I've been looking for something simple to make finger joints , this fits the bill for me , thank you so much for generously sharing your jig idea , God Bless you man !
Very nice , I did woodworking for 17 years professionally and now retired and disabled enjoy watching videos I like the fact that yours is simple to build and use some of the others on UA-cam over complicate things with all the moving parts and mathematical equations I used to preach to apprentices that were on the ball that there are a hundred ways to do it but pick a way you know works each time, mine may not be the best for you but it works for me and hasn't failed yet the kiss system is a good one in our trade since no two pieces of wood are the same if you screw one up there is no grabbing another to fix your mistake , that was always the best part of the job getting the grain patterns cut correctly and when you start getting too complicated is when failure is easier ... keep it simple stupid is what I tell myself all the time
@2:47. Thanks for the tip...I have a bunch of hardwoods, but didn't know the names...I recognise the pattern from the Oak pieces...so thanks for the tip!
That is the most and efficient jig that i've ever see ... i've see o matheus on woodgears some jigs about fingering joints...that are to way complicated to build ..but this ...this is gold to me ! I will build it in short time ! Thanks alot for sharing this with us ! Keep it going like that !
Love you Drew! You're amazing at wood working, you're funny and I love your ingenuity. Thanks for sharing via video and downloadable plans. I built my flp cart and several jugs via your plans and the plan details were perfect! Thanks!
Great video. First time seeing your channel. The bloopers were really funny. Seems like a pretty smart idea. As a new woodworker the jig is way more involved than I’m capable of at this point. I guess I need to buy a router table, band saw, disc sander.
Just made one and i have to say it is great i didn't realize how easy it is to work Oh man you are a genius and free plans as well witch not many people are kind enough to give out. I am going to tell everyone about your channel thank you so much Best of Irish luck to you
Found yourself a new subscriber, who will definitely be building one of these, in the not too distant future, so many thanks for the free plans. I must've watched almost every video on here, about making this type of jig, but it's perfect for me, here in England, as we are not allowed to use Dado stacks, so the single blade jig is perfect. Super jig & thank you for sharing it. God bless you. Glyn.
I had no idea that you're not able to use Dado stacks in England. After reading your comment I found myself searching the web for articles explaining why. So glad that my jig will hopefully help you out in your dilemma. Thanks for subscribing and commenting! And God bless you too, brother!
Wow what a find this video is, I have been wanting to build a finger jointing jig for ages but never really fancied the more complex ones out there, clever though they are. Yours will be just perfect for me. And you have taken the trouble to offer free plans. Thank you very much, you sir are a generous Gentleman. Regards Rob
Thank you for finger joint jig I’ve just finished mine copied from many viewing of your UA-cam listing but after a few miss starts it’s finished great keep up the releases it’s great
I always look forward to your next upload! I know it takes a lot of time to do the quality video you provide, but always want more. I have seen many ideas for box joint jigs, your ideas will be the one I build. It’s the best I have seen.
Best tip was at 10:15 being able to straddle over the blade horizontally. Doing something like that would normally scare the daylights out of me but what a great way to clean things up from an ATB blade!
Ok maybe I’ll finally make a finger joint jig! This one is simple and your video is really clear on the process even without plans. Making wide fingers without massive router bits is easy too, so long as they’re three times the width of any router bit: just make the usual template and then remove every third tooth from the comb. When cutting using this comb just skip the narrow gaps.
Thanks, Eric! There's definitely room for improvement, so let me know what your ideas are and how it turns out. Maybe they'll make it into my version 2. :)
What a great jig. I enjoy watching and learning something new from gifted designers and woodworkers. I retired from building and woodworking. Great Stuff
Thanks for the kind words! And I wouldn't call me "gifted". I'm just an average computer nerd that's dabbling in woodworking from time to time. I guarantee that you know way more than I ever will!
Great video, Fishers's Shop, great idea, Im a wood working noob, just watching youtube videos , and learning what I want to do.Box joints are one of them, I have seen some pretty cool jigs , most pretty complicated, this is really simple , yet efective. I must try it out when I have the time.
good for you, good job and no intent to make money , I love it! I think its wonderful that no one is perfect but sharing your ideas is so wonderful and informative. Thank You so very much!
THANK YOU! I built your finger joint jig and am very pleased with the results. The design is elegant in its simplicity, accuracy and repeatability. My saw blade is 3/32nds wide, resulting in a key that is somewhat flimsy... I just read your comment below and was about to suggest a slot for the key, to improve stiffness and replaceability. Thanks again.
Plans for this one were removed since this version was replaced with my newer, much improved, version 2.0 that you can see in my Table Saw Jigs pt. 2 video.
Great video, wood have also loved to see the joints after you had sanded them thanks for posting from garry in the UK, I have just bought the set of 3 jigs 1 and 2 from you
I just made this, it works well. I could not get my router to make the guide accurate enough, probably because its a green bosch so I did my guide manually, scribing the spacing with a ruler and knife, then carefully used the tablesaw with the sled, very clean and accurate.
I very much enjoy your videos. Now if only my neighbor would leave a Bandsaw and Jointer out for me to rehome I too can make this simple jig. Heck I’m hopeful he leaves a Planer out too!
Thank you very much! I used table saw for make templates - it is alternative for those who haven't got router table. Of course I mean about template 3x wider than the blade. Thank you
Watched several times, just tying to figure it out, although your presentation and explanation was great. Good luck, billy Graham from Bonnie Scotland 😊
Like the look of this and plan to replace my overly complicated jig with something like this. In particular I like the compactness of your design. Thanks for sharing.
Hahahahaaa, I love the bloopers at the end...most guys don't show the trial and error that goes into pulling a prototype idea off (and all makers know how much trial and error happens). Nice one bug guy...awesome tutorial.
I gotta tell ya what a kool design. I haven’t seen any videos as well done via the graphics. I’m happy I saw your video. I really like the design. Job well done 👍. I subscribed and liked it.
GREAT simple design. I especially like the versatility of the guides and that you can easily "clean" out the cut. Thanks. This is MUCH easier to make compared to the other ones on the web.
Thanks for sharing this video. Seeing that your a woodworker like me and don't charge for your stuff, I became a subscriber to your channel. Love your stuff so far bud... keep up the awesome work...
Hola! 🖐Really like this video and so do 700k+ others that have viewed it. I'm watching your videos from oldest to newest and I see in the comments that you have a better version. It's difficult but I'll watch in the order the videos are posted so I will have to wait! 😡😂😂 Your outtakes always make me laugh, don't leave them out. Take care and have a good one, Adios! 👊
Earned a subscription and a like. Well done. Love the simplicity in a world of over tricked out jigs. I plan on trying it. Looking forward to more content Fish.
this is the first video i saw from your channel, and after the bloopers i clicked subscribe - It's good to see all the fun that happens in the making of the video/project!
Highly impressed watched twice and downloaded sketch up plan I have not made it yet but am certain it will work.You're correct a clamping system will help I do not think it will be difficult to adapt. I have not seen anything online as good In the UK we can not use Dadoes blades so this is a real gem of an idea Once again I think its great Many thanks
Thank you very much for the nice comment, Martin! Best of luck making it! I'm sure it will work out for you as well as it has for me. I'd be interested to see your jig with the enhancements if you care to share it. Let me know once you have it put together!
Stumbled upon your vid by accident and really pleasantly surprised. Such a simple design which normally means it is the best. Well done and thanks for taking the time and effort to share - especially free plans. I have now subscribed so look forward to more innovation. Keep it up. Andy
Mr. Fisher say hello to another Fisher. My name is Daniel Fisher from MS, although my dad was originally from a town just south of Akron, OH. Who knows, we may be somewhat related. Liked the jig, nice make up. However, if I made finger joints, I would use my dado blade and cut each finger the width needed all at once instead of making multiple passes. Also I subscribed, hit the bell and gave it a 👍. Like one guy said about your vids, no music! 😍
congratulations man, this idea is brilliant and very very clever. BRAVO! I'm gonna do it right today! And, MOSTLY allow me to thank you for sharing such a good idea, really! Ciao da Roma, Italia.
Fisher's Shop how about a design for making a compound box joint jig to make what I think is called a hopper joint ? I have made a couple of them but so far they are very crude.
I think this is a great jig. I was considering using dovetails for my project but they are quite involved. Box cuts would simple enough but lacked a good jig - this has filled that gap. In the UK dado stacks aren't sold, or at the best, very uncommon - again, this jig addresses that. This is a very well thought out jig that has got so many benefits. I can't wait to try this out.
Thanks E Caff! I'm not sure about "the" woodworker, I'm just a regular guy that screws around in his shop. Every now and then I have a decent idea though. :)
Well Sir, over here, you are the Woodworker. Over the years in construction, I have found that there is always someone out there who's idea has a different solution to a problem. When that person has a, K.I.S.S. solution to a problem, they are the genius for the moment. I'm a Tinsmith by trade, So, I understand many of the woodworker's ideas. Your jig is quick, solves my problem, and it is easy to build. Keep up the great work, excellent ideas, and funny out takes. A good laugh, is good medicine.
The blooper reel was instructive. "That's why you can't use hardwood for your templates," explained why you couldn't just use the router to cut your joints in the first place.
thanks for the plans ...... as I was viewing the plans I thought a nice feature would be to glue some Plastic Mirror Reflective Film on the facing rise at the front of the jig ( or is it back ? ) so you can look into the mirror and see the cuts being made .... practical ? probably not, but I personally like to see whats going on. Also I noticed you might be able to add different size notches to the "tops" of each template as well .... just turn it over for another size .... . GREAT PROJECT ! !
Nice jig, great explanation, and there is so many different finger joint sizes you could make a template for. Unfortunately I missed them while they were still free.
Well done Drew, I will have a go at building this.I haven't got a jig for finger joint's so I figure I may as well make a good one to start with in the first place, having done them all by hand.( yeah , I know, why would you....truth was, i wanted to know if I could.) Now I want an easier way and this'll do it. I've only found out about your site this weekend so I subscribed straight up. Your video's are really good and i know i'll learn a lot from you in the future. Keep up the good work Mate. Rod
Thanks so much Rod! I can't imagine doing a box joint by hand, haha! Glad you like the video and I hope you have fun making the jig. Thanks for watching, Rod! :)
Excellent video....Well designed, explained and built. This is the first video I've seen from your channel, and immediately subscribed to your channel.....Thanks for sharing.
Very simple. I like it and presently waiting for the glue to dry on mine now. However I'm adding toggle clamps to the face with a tee track as you suggested. Thanks for the free drawing.
This was a fun one! It's super satisfying to see an idea come to fruition and work as you had hoped. To be honest, I didn't think it was going to work as well as it does!

"TRUST ME I'm an engineer" !
Great jig so far....what type of stock did you end up using for the router driven template?..Everything I use shatters...cheers ern
I just used pine and went real slow.
A point of view of woodworking is the perspective that adjustable with high accuracy yet ultra-simple concept in jig design creates an eloquence that only woodworkers can appreciate.
I have purchased several of Fisher's plans and find them all to be easy to follow and very solid builds. Among the best fixtures and jigs I've seen.
Thanks Robert! This is the old design though. The newer version is way better!
So far the best best box joint jig I have seen. Not too complicated, easy to build, easy to use and very versatile!
I think your idea is worth making , for the longest time I've been looking for something simple to make finger joints , this fits the bill for me , thank you so much for generously sharing your jig idea , God Bless you man !

A clever solution! Plus its fun seeing how good old Mr. Fisher started on YT. I enjoy this and will definitly build something like that.

There’s a better new version that doesn’t require the router to make. Watch the table saw jig videos.
Love the out takes. Gives me confidence an amateur woodworker that even pro make mistakes.
BEST BOX JOINT JIG I HAVE SEEN IN A WHILE. LOOK FORWARD TO MAKING MY OWN ! VERY NICE !
If you liked that one, you’ll like the newer design even more. Watch the ultimate table saw jigs part 2 video I released recently.

Great idea. I've built one out of polypropylene butcher's block 1/2" thick. It's fabulous - a game changer.
i liked how you cut 2 boards at once. Never would have thought to do that
Thanks...... a simple but very efficient jig...... regards, Garth

5 years later but I think dados are now being sold in the UK. I know one guy I follow over there did a video awhile back about them being allowed
Thanks for posting this. I love in England and can't get a dado blade. This is perfect. Many thanks.
You're very welcome, Shane. I think it's so weird how the EU doesn't allow dado blades. Hopefully this jig works out for you! Thanks for watching!
Fisher's Shop lol. That ain't that weird when you consider there once was a European ruling that stated we couldn't sell cucumbers that were too bent.
And they wonder why we voted for Brexit! :D Great video. Many thanks. Love it. :D
Very cool idea. Great design and a very useful jig. Keep it up , you're putting out some good stuff...
Thanks, Muz!!
Thank you for sharing. Great job and great video. You are the Woodworker.
Thanks E Caff! I'm not sure about "the" woodworker, I'm just a regular guy that screws around in his shop. Every now and then I have a decent idea though. :)
Well Sir, over here, you are the Woodworker. Over the years in construction, I have found that there is always someone out there who's idea has a different solution to a problem. When that person has a, K.I.S.S. solution to a problem, they are the genius for the moment. I'm a Tinsmith by trade, So, I understand many of the woodworker's ideas. Your jig is quick, solves my problem, and it is easy to build. Keep up the great work, excellent ideas, and funny out takes. A good laugh, is good medicine.
Wonderful idea compared to others I have seen. I am thinking of making it one of my own. Thanks a million for sharing.Cheers.
Fantastic idea and the bloopers were classic
Haha, thanks, Bob! Glad you liked it!
Like the outtakes! I like your solution!
Thanks!
Very good video - Very good explanation - Very simple - Very good job !
I have been looking for this video for days
You better watch my table saw jigs videos. This version is obsolete and I made a better one.
@@FishersShop I watched 1 2 and 3 but don't remember seeing it. I'll have to rewatch them again lol
The blooper reel was instructive. "That's why you can't use hardwood for your templates," explained why you couldn't just use the router to cut your joints in the first place.
What a beautifully simple design!
Thanks for the drawings. I'll fabricate one pretty soon!
My pleasure, happy building!
mind blowing jig, looking forward to building one
I just recently discovered your channel and so glad I did. Thanks for the box joint jig plans and for the wonderful videos you make!
What a nice comment, thank you! Glad to have you!
Thank you for posting your plans!!! I plan on making this in a week,.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching
thanks for the plans ...... as I was viewing the plans I thought a nice feature would be to glue some Plastic Mirror Reflective Film on the facing rise at the front of the jig ( or is it back ? ) so you can look into the mirror and see the cuts being made .... practical ? probably not, but I personally like to see whats going on. Also I noticed you might be able to add different size notches to the "tops" of each template as well .... just turn it over for another size .... .
GREAT PROJECT ! !
This is best I was searching for a simple jig like this thank you I will build like this
Thanks!
I dig it! Going to try making my own. Thanks for sharing the plans. It helps us noobs immensely.
very nice. and simple. and nice. but, I repeat myself...and thanks for the outtakes. i feel so at home....
Nice jig, great explanation, and there is so many different finger joint sizes you could make a template for. Unfortunately I missed them while they were still free.
Well done Drew, I will have a go at building this.I haven't got a jig for finger joint's so I figure I may as well make a good one to start with in the first place, having done them all by hand.( yeah , I know, why would you....truth was, i wanted to know if I could.) Now I want an easier way and this'll do it. I've only found out about your site this weekend so I subscribed straight up. Your video's are really good and i know i'll learn a lot from you in the future.
Keep up the good work Mate.
Rod
Thanks so much Rod! I can't imagine doing a box joint by hand, haha! Glad you like the video and I hope you have fun making the jig. Thanks for watching, Rod! :)
Excellent video....Well designed, explained and built. This is the first video I've seen from your channel, and immediately subscribed to your channel.....Thanks for sharing.
Hey thanks, Jim! Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching and subbing!
Thanks for putting the Video it was really great and simple Regards, Trevor from Australia
Very simple. I like it and presently waiting for the glue to dry on mine now. However I'm adding toggle clamps to the face with a tee track as you suggested. Thanks for the free drawing.
Oh nice! That's awesome. I still haven't upgraded my design that far just yet. Let me know how it works!
Pretty smooth on both the thought process, and the jigs made. Very nice sir.
