The beard adds plus 10 to crediblity and charisma

Excellent video, I'm a fairly competent wood worker and I have watched a dozen videos on finger joints or dovetail joints and this one is the most educational and easiest to understand! Thank you

My man, you gotta keep that beard.

Genius. Both the box joint jig AND the mini-router table. This is exactly the type of content needed from folk who tend to claim 'expertise' in sawdust manufacturing, rather than turning into product shills. Some of the folk I used to watch are simply just ten minutes advertisements for whoever pays the most this week. Sad. I am here to learn. New skills...YOUR skills...shared ideas and techniques that could possibly bring my skill set to a new level. These last two presentations of yours, James, bring to 'my' table a way to have a router table at work that doesn't weigh a ton or require a truckload of space...on top of now being able to present to a friend new to this game we love a way to mount her lil' Wen palm router to a table she can afford to build. If we (the viewers) could rate presentations...you'd get a six outta five stars from me. Instead, you get a thumbs-up, and a long-time viewer eager for your next idea! Thanks!!!

Nice job, James. Your presentations are always simple and easy to follow.

Lovely simple setup, and very handy being able to cut the two boards at the same time

That’s an excellent technique Dude. Cutting mating parts together eliminates (in theory at least) the aftermath of sources of error. My best example is jointing two boards with a track saw, by placing one upon the other, making a single cut, and then just flipping the top board over. Even with error, you have complimentary surfaces to glue up.

I built a version of your jig. Finished my trial box today. Works perfectly! For ages I’ve wanted to make such boxes for scientific instruments and special tools but previous attempts with a table saw were rough as hessian underpants! Thanks for a much better solution 👌

ooooo, this will probably be helpful for building beehives. last time i just used a chisel in ways its not meant to be used. finally will have a use for the router table i got out of the trash.

That’s so freaking clever to cut both pieces together, even with my low level skills & my crappy home made router table I think I could now do finger joints. Thanks for another great video.

I hardly ever actually do anything I watch on a seasoned woodwork video. (I prefer green woodworking). But this one is so well explained, and seems so useful, I might just give it a try. Thanks James.

So clever. Thank you for sharing James 🌞

Thanks James, I did one yesterday and used in my router table, worked like a charm.

Happy Box Making everyone. James thanks for sharing with us such an easy-to-build and inexpensive jig.

I have a homebuilt router table in my table saw, this jig will work wonderfully on it. Thanks again for a great tool. I don't miss the floods and snow, but sometimes I do miss Midland and the surrounding area.

Looks great, good info, and free.

This stuff is gold! Thanks Mr. Nubs.

This is brilliant!

Thank you for sharing this jig with us. Love Duracell station. Everyone stay safe, warm, happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia

I was never sure about you honestly, but now with the beard I find you completely credible and commanding.

Well, bless your heart, James. Your beard looks great! This reminds me of quite a few years ago when you used to show us jigs and fixtures that you made. I really like this one. 😊❤

I love your tutorials!!! This is a great technique. THank you

Very useful. Thanks 🙏

Thanks for sharing this.

Thanks, James! It looks so much easier than other methods. 😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤

Thanks James

Well done James. Simple. Loved the part where you cut both at once. Just I'm time for a long weekend. Now I just have to find a use for box joints 😂

Brilliant!

Love this little router table and this application for it and also that Duracell Portable Charger is actually really well thought out, I usually skpi past promos for things like that but this one I actually ended up watching so good job on that too

Good vid/tip. Thanks James. Cheers, from Tasmania (Australia)

Yeah, this actually just saved me some cash. Was about to go buy a table similar to this to do exactly this. Thank you. Also, the beard is grand. As a fellow beard wearer, have fun getting your airway PPE fitting properly!

Once again, I'm unable to spell the sound of my hand slapping my forehead. Another terrific and well thought out tip. Thanks, Mr. H. Excellent beard, too.

You are one clever guy! Thanks for these videos!

Great video thanks for sharing definitely going to make me one of these router tables and box finger jigs.

There it is! Thanks!

Great job. Thank you 😊

Your promotion on the Mpower sharpening station triggered me to order one from Amazon. It just arrived today and I’m pretty excited about it. Mind you in Canadian dollars it’s over $350.00 but comparing it to diamond stones individually it’s a good deal. Here’s a tip you might want to make a video about. Regarding checking out long boards for straightness. I drilled three very small holes in a black plastic lid. I use it to sight down long boards It allows the eye to see both the close and distant ends clearly. Handy to take to the lumber yard. The lumber yard. I don’t seem to be able to send a photo in the comments.

Great project for my son and I. He can build a small box for Mom & Grandma

PERFECT TIMING! I need to build some new beehive boxes which are typically box jointed. P.S. - Beard looks great on you, now see if you can grow out the moustache for a handlebar! Keep up the awesome work.

Very nice! Thank-you!

Looks like a pretty cool setup.🙂🙂

Great video!

Definitely going to try that out 👍

Awesome idea!

Great idea

Excellent, so simple

Cutting both boards at once is inspired! Defo trying this 👍

I really appreciate your videos. A true master craftsman that helps us regular people improve our skills.

Well done!

Nice work! Thanks.

Excellent. Inexpensive, and works perfectly. I have a project for it in mind - more than one in fact... Thank you.

You never seas' to amaze me . Thanks again Julien . Been working for years and always want to learn more. You are helping big time.

You're a doggone genius, man! You come up with some pretty cool projects.😃👍🏻

Love this jig and I’m going to buy your sponsor’s (Duracell) charger.

Smooth seque into that charger commercial...

Excellent! Thank you so much

I guess that I'm going to have to buy a router now. Thank for the tip stumpy.

Thank you!!!!!!

Great simple build well done!

So great!!!!

Good video.

Deffo building one. thanks

Very nice! 👍

What a great jig.

Gave this a shot today. Having to fine tune even after careful set up. Doesn't come easy for me.

the beard looks great on you! and a bonus, a nice jig to add to one of my router tables. the little veritas table should be a good candidate for it.

Fantastic! Thanks a bunch, James! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

If the beard comes with Duracell ads, I'll take it! Bravo, great technique

The beard definitely working and the video is fabulous thanks 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Awesome follow up thank you. What joint would you use for plywood out of a finger joint or a splined mitre joint.

And the beard looks good!

Nice. I made a table saw jig a while back but may give your router setup a try too. Wonder if you’ve done a video using finger joints for small boxes. Drawers with lids, it would be interesting to see some variations on that.

I really like the router joint jig. Well done.

Brilliant!!! (And thank you!)

Amazing

This is a great setup. One thing that William Ng noted in his saw-cut finger joint jig video is that he developed his pin size based on the depth of a common drawer. The pin layout and cut kerf was cut so each pin was exactly the same size, without that little tab at the end. So, not to take anything from this setup, which, as I said, was great, but a deeper dive (Maybe a follow on video?) would be valuable to reveal the size router bit to use and jig to build to ensure precisely spaced pins for different drawer or box depths. I hope that made sense. Thanks, James, for making videos like this. 👍

Please note...for best results use a brand new spiral cutter 😊

Beard looks great!

The beard is getting lots of ‘man love’ James 👍

This could truly be useful. Thanks. P.S. Don't have a table saw and probably never will. But I have a router and table.

Great video as usual. Keep the beard too.

I have made a similar jig for my router table. The jig has two 6mm (1/4") dowels protruding 10mm (3/8") out the bottom that drop into two holes in the top of the router table, so it always fits in exactly the same place. The measurements in brackets are for you poor guys still stuck on imperial measurements. 😀

Next video you do some angled attachment to make some cute with a dovetail bit

Could you please do a video on painting cheap raw pine? (Like 2by4's I suppose, I am not sure as I am not American) I am making a simple project and I'd like to paint it white and I don't really know if I need to put a primer on top, what type of paint etc. etc. I'd like the wood to be completely covered, no knots nor wood patterns. Somewhere I've heard that putting a few layers of shellac is a good primer, maybe you could comment on that as well. I think it would be very useful for those of us who want to use cheaper wood but don't really enjoy the look of stained pine.

Finally the beard, you're a REAL woodworker now haha. Great Video btw

I was thinking, for the full size table, if you made the cleat the same width as the table, lined it up and then attached the panel, all you would have to do, each time, is line up the cleat with the two sides and your panel should always be centered on the bit.

This same technique can be applied to using a dado head cutter in a table saw. I started using it about 30 years ago to make dados.

Wow, the beard! It really works for you.

First! Great video bud!

Stumpy, the beard looks good. 👌

شخص متأدب و أستاذ جيد واصل.🤓 اللحية مناسبة لك😊

Please add, "disconnect the power from your router" to your statement, "rotate the router bit in your fingers". Thanks, and as always, great content! ps- I, too, like the beard!

I think that’s brilliant. Probably do this on a router than a tablesaw.

Beard looks good, Brother.

Great vid, keep the beard

Definitely going to build this. What would be the best type of spiral bit to get the cleanest cuts? up cut, down cut, compression?

Clever.

Use a mdf sacrificial backing board if using on plywood

For a second I thought you said it could do a lot more than cut fingertips 😮
