    Thank you, Matt. I really enjoyed watching this video and appreciate your teaching experience. Your attention to detail and explanation on how to make this joint is very effective and enjoyable. Although, when you cut the groove I was hoping you would have shown how to do it using hand tools, like with a plough plane, or hand router plane, or whichever hand tool that allows you to create the groove in the wood.

      For a handcut box joint you can follow the same steps in his regular dovetail video but make the pins and tails all square and plumb. Hope that helps!
      I’d love to hear if Matt has any tips or tricks, but conceptually box joints and dovetail joints are the same. It’s just that the former doesn’t have an angled cut.
