    Its the fine tuning step that makes this the BEST BOX JOINT JIG VIDEO on UA-cam - So simple, yet so crucial. Thanks David

    Picciuto for the WIN!!
    David, that was probably the BEST tutorial that I've seen for a box joint jig without a dado stack!
    I cannot wait to be able to walk out to my shop and put this jig together.
    You rock, Brother!

    I totally dig how down and dirty this tutorial was; simple yet effective. Editing must have been a breeze and I love that. Sometimes it's the simplest video tutorials that I get the most out of. It felt like you said, "hey, come on over. I've got something cool to show you" and we were right there with you in your shop. Thanks for keeping it real Mr. Picciuto.

    Looks like a very straightforward easy to follow process. I just watched your video on how to do it with a router and I think I'm going to try that first. I missed out on buying a Porter-Cable dovetail jig so now I'm going to make box joints using your method. Thank you so much David I love the videos!

    I really want to thank you for your time in making this video. You are simple, don’t waste a lot of time trying to impress me, and use real tools that most of us have. One of the better finger joint jig videos out there. One tip-most standard saw blades are 1/8th inch. Instead of cutting that finger, out of wood, consider using an old drill bit for the key. If the jig is used in a router table, a corresponding router bit (1/4”) can be used.

    this method was by far the best way all the other people would say that they had the simplest way to make a finger joint jig.

    I came to this video via a link of Badger's workshop, just today. I've seen many of your videos but this one probably not. (I didn't have a table saw that time)
    This video is so perfect. Thanks for sharing. I think this will be one of the first table saw jigs, as soon as I made a setup for my table saw. (it's still in the box)
    It took me 3 years to buy a table saw. I hope it'll be out of the box sooner than another three years.

    My dad had a restoration and refinishing shop. He had a great old woodworker that worked for him and did most of the restoration. It was the 80s and all of the machines had almost no safety and were overpowered so my dad didn't let me do a lot with the power tools. Of course I became very proficient at sanding. I also became proficient at finishing. Sadly my dad passed before I could get into all of those power tools and 40 years later I have managed to put a few tools together and am practicing my woodworking skills almost every day. I tell you all of this because I am picking up lots from your videos and wanted to say thanks and I appreciate what you do. Have an awesome day. BTW I plan on using these finger joints on some small keep sake boxes I will give away for Christmas.
