Interesting Joinery…It’s literally thinking “outside the box”. My question is about it’s strength and integrity. You mentioned finding a FWW article on it…Would you share? Thanks again for sharing your project. I’ll be following this one as I study joinery.

Way cool.

That is an interesting joint. Looks like you did a good job with it. Looking forward to more progress.

559 Dust – Thanks for the comments!

Paul – This was from issue 169 – (March / April 2004). I agree that that the strength and integrity of this basic cube is questionable, but I am thinking about some other structural elements to beef it up….

In this case – it is all practice for doing this joint in some finer hardwood, maybe some Padauk end tables? not sure?

Hey Steve – appreciate the comment…...you are the master! :)

Uhhh I LOVE that joint. Its like Japanese joinery with a twist. I cant cut a miter for a picture frame, much less put a tenon in one. Fine job on the joint Jeff. Looking real nice.

Hey Dave – appreciate the comments – it is a Japanese inspired joint….the miters are really easy with the miter sled on the TS…....I have another set of parts to miter so I’ll photograph those…..

Thinking about dovetailing the rails for the drawers like your cabinet…...if you don’t mind?

Way too cool Jeff.

Neat joint. I´ll try one of these days. So if I get some ce¿oncern on strength or integrity, I do have a new nailer !

Are you also planning Hidden dovetailing the drawers?

-- Back home. Fernando

Nice joints, Jeff.

Thanks Smitty!

Hey Fernando – I just might have to get the nailer out before this is done! That’s what Norm would do! Haven’t even considered the drawers yet, but I suppose dovetails would be a nice touch!

Thanks Martyn – much appreciated!
