Doug Stowe has been making boxes for more than 30 years, and over that time he has perfected his techniques for designing and building them. Box joinery does not have to be overly complicated. One method is to use a finger joint, also called a box joint. It’s a simple-looking joint that is simple to make—perfect for someone just starting out in box making. The key to success is making and setting up a jig to make the process accurate. In this episode of his video workshop on making boxes, Stowe shows how to make and use a tablesaw jig for cutting perfect finger joints.
