Simple Box Joint Jig for the Router Table
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лют 2025
- This is a simple way to build a jig that makes it possible to cut box joints also known as finger joints on your router table ( Build video for mine: • Quick and Easy Portabl... ) I used some leftover MDF but you can also use Plywood for this. I recommend that you use an up cut spiral bit like this one: amzn.to/2TuKC38 to in your preferred size to prevent tear out. I use a sacrificial piece to prevent tear out on my workpiece.
Thank you very much for watching!
Big thanks to all my patrons especially Sithis Michaelis and Larry Radcliffe!

The fumes from that gasoline powered drill press must be awful. I hope you're using proper ventilation! Have you considered electric? My nephew's friend's grandfather used an old hand-crank Bentweiler single stage which ran on half diesel half gasoline. He used that thing every day for decades and one day he just passed out in his shop while running his planer. His sleeve got stuck, it drew him in and planed off a good inch from his front side. Needless to say he did not make it. Anyway, thanks for the great jig video.
Ha, hey it was a audio sample, if u watch it again you might notice the audio used for each of the tools made a sound that wasn't true to its original, the lawn mower wasn't under the table...and there were crickets i think used for the router...idk i might be off with the crickets, however have a second look its just a method of audio production and it was a decent one might i say....no offense tho
@@Unalienable-Arrant you don’t say. I thought his table saw actually played music.
@@Weshopwizard Interfaced to Bluetooth? Where can I get one?
Literally LOL!
the sound effects on this video are ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTFUL
Thank you very much Jess! 🙂
I love the lawn mower-powered drill press!
Love that you show cutting 2 boards as a pair to ensure both have the same pitch. Many other videos show pieces cut separately and pitch errors are likely.
Another video indicated that tongues should be 0.006 inches less than the slots, important information to avoid assembly problems.
Great jig for the router table and I subscribed for 2 reasons:
1. Love the way you produce your videos. Quick, to the point, no unneeded talking.
2. For the sound effects. Those are spot on. Laughed each time you used a power tool. Well done!!
I enjoy your videos. Everything seems to work well together, and the sound effects just add to it. (Your nail polish on your thumb looks to be the same shade I use.)
Thanks guy!
Hahaha! Thanks!
Those sound effects.. straight forward video.. no long backstory about something no one cares about... definitely subscribed!
The lawn mower is my favourite sfx, brilliant! Thx for the easy to follow idea!
I thought that a gas-powered drill press wasn't out of the realm of possibility, but I really wanted to know how a cricket-powered hand-held drill would work. Certainly more environmentally beneficial than the gas!
You channel is a new discovery for me. I'll subscribe!
Impressed with the build of the jug. Saved it as a bookmark for reference.
Great job. The timing of the sound effects is spot on the lawnmower pillar drill is brilliant lol
Thank you very much!
@@Ollaris Sounds like it might need a tune-up!
You left out the cursing where the victa lawnmower drill press motor won’t start! 😂😂🇦🇺
I think the drill press needs new spark plugs ;-)
Great jig for production. I love your musical table saw; very poetic.
Wow, Briggs and Stratton 4 stroke drill press! Nice!
It's been a long time I told myself to build a box joint jig for my table saw
but I still postpone this because I can't get able to use the table saw rails
now I think I know what I am going to do to build those fancy box joints !
Keine teuren Geräte, kein Schnickschnack... einfach ein cleveres Köpfchen und Talent! Toll, was du da so zauberst👍👍
Aber am geilsten sind einfach die "spezial" Geräusche😄😄
Vielen Dank Capko! Freut mich das es dir gefällt!
Really nice seeing people being safe in the shop!
I already make the router table you posted here. Now I'm gonna make this!!! Thank you for the detailed video. it's really simple to watch and do the same. Gongrats. Greetings from Uruguay!!!
Gonna try this. Maybe I'll use a thinner board so I don't lose cutting length. Cool video btw, I like the sound effects when you use the powertools
Wow thanks for sharing..I was just on edge of paying $120 for a jig for this. Thanks to you. I may just now make one.
I was on the edge of paying $2.95 for plans. Thanks to the video, I may just now make one. :-)
Seriously .. thanks for the video.
ollari's your works are beautiful for their simplicity ... and the "music" is spectacular hello da felix bari italia
Thank you very much Felix!
Using a gas powered lawn motor engine to power your drill press. Now that's re-purposing innovation. Impressive!
Thanks for the video like yours over the other ones. One thing I have to ask your drill press sounds like a gas two stroke boat motor
Lawnmower motor! 😅
cool i had no idea they made gas drill presses
Awesome jig! Exactly what a rookie like myself needed! Thank you! BE SAFE,GOD BLESS!🇺🇸🙏❤
As he wipes a blob of glue under the table at the end...like a boss!
😅 didn’t we all do that?! 🤣
great, i liked the sound you add to every tool, eveyone should do that, wounderful jig
Hast du super gemacht. da ich noch nicht in Besitz so einer Lehr bin, werde ich sie mir nachbauen. Übrigens, was mir besonders gefällt ist deine Rasenmäherbohrmaschine :-)))))
Dankeschön! 😅
Good job and your video was relaxing I was watching with a big smile !!
I’m going to program my table saw to play music everything I turn it on. I’m tired of the noise it makes....
Good video 👍🏽
Wow, you have a programmable table saw as well?
I like how his drill and router sound like crickets.
I really liked that IC Engine operated drill machine 😃😃😄😄
Awesome! I've seen similar jigs for table saws, but my table saw won't take a dado stack and I'm not too keen on the idea of cutting box joints one blade width at a time. I was thinking of doing dovetail joints when remodelling my kitchen, but the kitchen is going to have a modern look and I think (narrowish) box joints look more modern than dovetails - whilst still having a premium look to them.
Love the sound effects! Great video.
this just convinced me to build one for my router table rather then my table saw, smaller and simpler to set up
I enjoyed the music choices and audio editing and also, nice jig. I'm going to make it.
sehr sehr clever👍 das geräusch vom rasenmäher gefällt mir super😀 bitte wieder verwenden
Mache ich! 😅😉
This is wonderful. Learnt something new and different. Easy but very very effective and delivers what is expected. Thanks for sharing with the world what you know.
Thank you very much! And thanks for watching it!
this video made me smile many times. Good work!
Thank you very much!
Super Video mit den feinen Geräuschen bei den laufenden Maschienen
Dankeschön
Danke!
Excellent build video. This looks like the one from Wood magazine. I built mine out of 18mm Baltic Birch for our router table. I use upcut spiral bits ans compression spiral bits, for 1/4", 3/8", ad 1/2"
Thank you! I need to check that out! Is there a build video? Believe it or not i ran out of 18mm plywood that’s definitely a first for me! 😅
How To Make Box Joints on Your Router Table - WOOD magazine - ua-cam.com/video/G01hhn-kQnc/v-deo.html I purchased the plans from Wood Magazine . Cheers from Ontario Canad
Nicht nur informativ sondern auch noch lustig. Danke!🙂
Hi, that is the best what you did what is the measurement?
Thank you for sharing this video Ollari! Excellent jig and one which I want to make for myself. Loved the sound effects and music too, Thank you from South Africa
Thank you very much Mark!
Hey {Big UPS'} on this project...I have been looking for a few days now for a simple straight forward dove tail jig i could throw together for a router table, and there are many out there...However I wasn't very happy with the many videos and numerous projects i have seen thus far. About to say screw it i came across Ur work here and it stood out ahead of the rest....also the music production and sampling choices and audio quality, I personally mix and mess with some production...idk maybe that's why it spoke to me so clearly...Anyway figured id say a few words here and again Big ups my friend nice work...
Thanks a lot ! I really appreciate it.
Nice video, great design and some very interesting sound effects...wish my table saw played smooth jazz instead of the horrible noise it normally makes. Thanks.
It really impresses me the sound of your table saw motor. Instead of noise it plays music !! Where did you buy it?
This will be on my 'to do' list. Köszönöm!
Really cool jig! (and it seems like it converts the router's noise to birds chirping too :D )
Yes it does! Thanks 😊
Brilliant Sound FX
Thanks!
I love the lawnmower drillpress
Love the Harley-ized drill press!
Молодец мужик,единственный по-моему кто пилит в респираторе.
First of all thank you for the video. I am facing a challenge , plywoods aren’t exactly 3/4 inch - but the router bit is. Wondering how your key cut out to the thickness of plywood is exactly fitting the key hole made by the router bit. Am I using a low quality plywood ?
This build seems to depend on the thickness of the board at 3:45 exactly matching the width of the router bit. Is that correct? How can I be sure that they are identical?
Hello, thank you very much for the clear instruction. May I ask a question? I have build the jig, but when I use it the upright position of the router bit causes a lot of breakout in the wood. It simply does not yield clean cuts. Any idea where it might go wrong? Thank you!!
you are my new favorite, what with the appropriate sound effects.
Thank you very much!
Cool jig made it but my router bit is two short need longer bit to reach material. What can I use? Thanks have a great day.
Doug
Sound effects are on point!
Thanks!
Looking good, not sure I'd make one myself but the video was entertaining nonetheless
Nice video, very informative. Btw, the gas powered drill press killed me.
😊 Thanks
I like your sound design 👍
Great job. About time you upgraded from your 2 stroke drill press though 😂
Nice sounddesign!
Really like your videos, especially in that you don’t record the irritating noises from saws and drills - drives my wife nuts ! Anyway, I’ve had a go at building one of these and have learned several things;
1) It needs considerable accuracy to achieve good joints. Take it slowly and be precise !
2) It is crucial to ensure the jig is aligned with the router bit at exactly the same place at each use. Any lateral movement will result in wider or narrower spacing of the slots resulting in a sloppy or non-existent fit.
3) The height of the peg determines the minimum thickness of your workpiece. If you try and cut shorter slots ( eg 9mm but have a 12mm peg) you cannot rest your workpiece squarely on the sled. It will simply rock in mid air and be quite dangerous.
4) This one perhaps might just be me, but . . . making the first cut especially ( where the workpiece simply butts up against the peg) is difficult. The router bit wants to apply its torque to the wood simultaneously trying to lift and turn it away from the peg. You need to hold it really firmly for an accurate cut and it feels quite scary. Advice would be to clamp the piece in position for this first cut. Once you are able to position the workpiece on the peg then things get easier.
I am using a 3.25hp router (Triton) with a brand new 3/8” two flute straight bit (Titman) and it scares me. Have I set the router speed too slow or fast ? The router is on number 4 ( of 6) and the max bit speed is rated at 24000rpm.
So, off for my third attempt at getting the front plate and peg right ! Given you will need a different one for each bit diameter, and possibly a couple for different peg heights, I can easily see the need to make several interchangeable plates . . .
Looks like just what a novice like me needs but without some dialogue I've no idea what just happen. Any chance of running another with some back ground guidance?
Thank you emvery much for this video. I am rather new to true woodworking and have set up a pretty good shop but need to build many jigs. This ine just made the list!!
Awesome! Thank you. Happy making!
@@Ollaris You're welcome and sorry about the misspellings as well.
I made this jig following your video. Do you place a sacrificial board in front of the workpiece to avoid tear out on the workpiece. Thanks for the video.
Yes i do.
Cool video and fantastic jig 👌
Gute Idee perfekt umgesetzt!
Die Akkustik der Maschinen bereitet mir jedes Mal Freude, sehr witzig!
Dankeschön Volker!
I really like the way it works.
lawn mower engine powered drill press - so fkn 'clever' !!!
Perfect!!! Greeting from Indonesia... 👍👍👍👍
Just discovered your channel. I love this finger joint jig. ❤
I'm going to try to make it.
Where in the world are you located?
От фанеры только щепки летят и тут же прилетают обратно. Круто пилим!!!
great build man! as always! love your work!
Thank you very much! 🙂
@@Ollaris you are welcome man! i build some jigs for my drill press the last weeks. If you want to see them you can check them out on my channel, maybe the will give you some inspiration like i had on your video! Greetings Christofix
I see lots of videos about jigs. But no measurements. I did it a bit smaller. Hope it works
NICE !!! I LOVE the sound effects also !!!
Worth the time to watch this video AND built the jig! Thankyou!
Thanks!
Wipes off glue with a finger tip, then wipes it on the underneath side of the workbench. Ha! Apparently I'm not the only one that does that!
Excellent video! What was the product that you applied to the sliding sled for the jig to make it more slippery and help it slide smoothly? It was in a glass jar.
Also I am curious what you added to give a tiny bit of clearance for the slider rails. Looks like strips of paper or veneer.
Hahaha I'm enjoying your sound effects so much!
How do you get your router bit to stick up so far above the table? I had to cheat how far it went in the collet to get it above the table, forget putting a slide on top of that, yet.
Almost finished this jig and thanks for the video. What wax do you use on the slide
Love that lawnmower mate. Bloody funny. Haha. Great vid
Thanks Graham
Really helpful video ...love the sound effects thanks
I buily yhis jig for my router table but I experienced blowout on both the entry and exit sides of the workpiece. I tried plywood, like you used here, but had the same result with walnut and cedar. Suggestions? Thanks
Try a spiral up cut bit (they are commonly used for cnc routers)
At first I was like, what? But then I was like, ah, ok. Cool sound editing.
Tried this today, must have messed up the spacing. Fingers too big. You make it look easy
Thanks for your video. Best regards from Mexico City.
Love the sound of the table saw🤣🤣🤣
😅
хорошее приспособление,скоро понадобится.СПАСИБО.
Me gusta como suenan tus herramientas.
Buen trabajo!
Thanks from México. Saludos
Nice video! Your drill press needs the carb rebuilt :)
so your jig also mows the lawn and edges, I assume ? :)
How does your router bit extend that far out mine only goes half way
is that a straight bit? and how tall is it. nice video
Nice! And I like your gas powered drill press. :-)
Hi what brand and model of saw is your table saw? thanks
Cool vid and great project! I was a little distracted from the content with the sound effects though :P
Very clever, Seb ! Thank you !
Thanks!
Seu trabalho nota dez, suas ideias também nota dez, agora..., sua sonoplastia nota mil..., ADOREI, SWOL mesmo!
