I-Box Box

Re: I-Box Box
Well, I finally worked on the box again. I didn't realize how long it has been. The holdup was needing to get some more Black Walnut. My wife had a scroll saw project that she wanted to use Black Walnut so we went and got some.

Re: I-Box Box
How long did it take to learn? I've had mine a couple of years and have not yet used it except to play around with it! This weeken for sure. Just used a gift certificate at my local hardwood store. Got some nice Honduran Mahagony, some cherry and some dloodwood. Three boards, $153.00!

Re: I-Box Box
What a gorgeous box John. Nice work. I may have to spring for one of those jigs. Although I kind of like doing it like I have been doing it.
Beautiful!

I just bought 9 BF of 4/4 walnut (10' X 11") and 12 BF of 4/4 Maple (12' X 12"). $170.90. The Walnut was $10.73/BF and the Maple was $5.25/BF.As far as learning it was pretty simple. I watched the video a few times and then had the printed instructions in front of me when I first played with it. If you remember Charlses challenge from my other thread about an 18" long joint with 1/4" pins, that was the third time I tried it. The box in this thread was the next time.
I also bought the package with the Forrest box joint blades. There is nothing better. Equal, maybe but nothing better than Forrest IMO.

Re: I-Box Box
More then very nice John!! Nice contrasting wood and clean, crisp lines and joints. What is an I box, or is that the name of a jig for cutting the box joints? Rockler has one for the router, I am not sure if it can be used on a TS with the miter gauge, inconjuction with a dado blade.
CN, my wood store is charging $7.00 for 4/4 BW, and anything over 10" wide, gets a 10 or 20% Wide Board up charge.

Greenie, Grayling, SS stand alone BS and BS SPT, jointer and belt sander, 3 Ers with Speed Changers. I think those 3 cover my ER needs, and space for them.

Re: I-Box Box
Thank you! The I Box works very well and for me the learning curve was short. I would recommend it to everyone.rjent wrote:What a gorgeous box John. Nice work. I may have to spring for one of those jigs. Although I kind of like doing it like I have been doing it.

It is an Incra I Box jig made for the table saw. It comes with miter bars for standard table saws and for Shopsmith.ERLover wrote:More then very nice John!!

Similar to this?

I am not a dado guy, when I need dado work I use my router table and some times in conjunction with the table saw regular blade. I just never got into dado blades, there fine tuning for width. I am just more comfortable on the router table with the correct bit.
