FINGER JOINT PROJECTS

Post by woodmeister »

Just wondering if any of you have made any finger joint projects? If so do you have any pictures I could see. Looking for a site that has more than just drawers.
Thanks!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!

Here is a thread I started when I made my first box with the Incra I-Box jig.

This is a box I made back in the mid 1970's to hold my hand faceting equipment. It was stored for many years in an unheated shed and I see some of the glue joints have started to fail.

It is made of thin plywood that I salvaged from a tea chest. The box joints were all hand cut, I laid them out by eye, (I don't think any two corners have the same number of fingers). I made the cuts perpendicular to the edge with a jewelers saw and then freed the waste tabs with a chisel.
