Of all the woodworkers on KZfaq, I believe you are the best teacher. When you do a tutorial, you not only tell me which variables matter, but why they matter. You then show the affects of those variables being to big/small/long/short, with simple methods for making adjustments. I can watch any box joint video, and can make a successful jig, but all that does is teach me how to make a jig for box joints Your videos teach me fundamental knowledge, the quality of my resulting box jig, just tells me Wether or not I'm proficient in the techniques you're teaching I'm a total amateur, and I've spent the last 3 days getting every step perfect I've learnt SO much of this one video!

Hi William, I am a retired metals trade teacher and am setting up to do some woodworking as a hobby in my retirement. I love your clear, simple and well explained methods. I have watched many videos on how to make box joint jigs of which many seem more complicated than they need to be. I just love the simplicity and accuracy of your jig. Cheers from Australia Garry

You not only show how to do it right, you show how to correct small problems as they happen - and they WILL happen. I really appreciate this approach, and I know some others do as well.

I found your channel a few years ago and watched every video. I've always wanted to do woodworking but never took the plunge. Over the last year, I've built and helped with a few things; all out of necessity rather than an artistic creation. I'm about to take to dive-in, building out my workshop as tools are being shipped. And so here I am again, rewatching your videos. There is a lot of good content for woodworkers on KZfaq. Much of it is more inspirational. As far as I'm concerned, what you have put out is essential to having a strong foundational knowledge, enabling an aspiring woodworker for growth. Thank you for putting it out and keeping your channel up. I hope to one day see you putting out more content. Even if it's a patreon type of thing, I'd immediately join up. Haven't done anything like that before, but I would, again, immediately jump aboard if you were to.

William NG, your presentation is so thorough. I've watched this several times in the past but I think it is time to DO IT! I've had my dado stack for years and I don't remember using them more than twice, so I was hesitant. Your method is so foolproof that I am really looking forward to creating an accurate jig, and banging out boxes, especially drawers, often. Also, I've done drawers plenty of times, with slots and screws. But I like the fact that the length of the sides will be the exact dimensions of the box, and that the slot for the base will be invisible, without needing stop cuts.

as a commercial cabinet maker i always enjoy william's videos as there is the opportunity to learn a new trick. my comment is to all the incra jig enthusiasts... if i filled my workshop with all the gadgets and bits and pieces available i would never fit in the shop myself lol. the cost of having all this stuff lying around and having to store it becomes a negative investment. so often the cheap little stuff you can make in a few seconds is just as good. i can cut dovetails on a table saw or bandsaw faster than it takes me to set up a jig and run them with a router. even as a hobbyist it pays to learn how to do things simply without all the gadgets. remember the old craftsmen used a few handsaws, chisels and planes to quickly and effectively build what ever they wanted and often quicker than using the modern machine equivalents we have today.

Richard Thaxton i am not saying do not use modern conveniences.. i use power tools as well as hand tools. what i am saying is this... sometimes it is quicker to use hand tools than to set up a power tool to do the same job. it pays to keep an open mind when deciding how you want to achieve a solution. if i am making one drawer i will do it by hand. if i have a large number to do then i will take the time to set up a machine to do the job for me. dependent on whether the customer wants an entirely handmade joint or machine cut.

One VERY small enhancement would be at 14:42 in the video. Instead of removing the drawer front/back reference piece (to get your reference spacing), keep it in place, and flip your side piece end-over-end (like you do at 14:55) and make its first cut, as well. That way you don't have to keep setting it in place and removing it. The same applies to any number of additional drawer sides - if you keep the reference piece there, you only add/remove it once (instead of at least twice, and up to four times per drawer). That said, this video is still awesome, watching it a year later. I love the elegance of your solutions!

It's very possible that this method is/was used in actual speed production, but he didn't want to go too fast in teaching the ideas here. It's also possible that he was a little distracted as many people are when an audience is involved, and didn't do every step the exact way or order he would have in normal production. Lots of us outright destroy work if we know somebody's watching, lol.

William, I love this video. Watched it so many times but I'm a bit confused by one thing. You state you like a 4" drawer height because it gives you perfect symmetry. I'm trying to figure out how that is. 4" is 32/8. You use a 3/8" dado. 10 fingers and spaces is 30/8 and 11 is 33/8. How does that work out perfectly? What am I missing? This is important as I'm trying to figure out for my own set of drawers I'm building. Thanks! Update: I actually did the math. You're short as I expected but only by 0.015". Who could spot that? Look forward to seeing more of your videos!

I dont understand your update. You can see in the video that he has 11 fingers. At 3/8" thats 4.125"!
@geraldcox24806 жыл бұрын
I get the same thing.....it's 4 1/8"
@jvaran56186 жыл бұрын
remember, his dado blade width is .0010 less than 3/8 at least that's the way i see it
@davidjohnston65046 жыл бұрын
The gap is .01 less than 3/8 and the finger is .015 less. 5 fingers and gaps = .125 exactly. Minus one more finger or gap is .01 to .015 less as txlonghorn calculated.

The symmetry includes drawer inside depth,top clearance and the type of drawer slides used.

Six fingers and 5 sockets, each with a width of 3/8", adds up to 4 1/8". In your sample, you used 4" wide stock. What happened to the extra 1/8"?
@wnwoodworks5 жыл бұрын
The opening measures .365 times that by 5 = 1.83 plus the fingers measures .360 times that by 6 = 2.16 add those together = 3.99 inch. OK so I'm .01" off. :-)

a good reason to use mm and not fractions of the kings inch as unit of measure.

I noticed this same thing as well. Thanks for asking this question. WilliamNG's explanation below cleared it up for me...need to make the dado .365 instead of .375 (as he says when first referencing his dado stack width).

The first time through, i though, dude, why so harsh, then i went and set everything up, and having only one table saw, i, yup, totally 'got' it. Instantly cracked up over what is obvious now, not so obvious then. Great method, and my results will improve, but first try, not bad, not bad at all. Thanks sensei.
