Maybe a bit too much hype? Well, I’m pretty excited about this new “invention”. I think it’s an improvement over the box joint machine I built a couple of years ago. Not that the first one wasn’t perfectly fine, I just thought I could make it even better. So here’s the new jig- presented in a mock interview format that I think you’ll enjoy!

Another fine stumpyfied jiggy machine & infotainment video!!!
I posted a question on YouTube, but figured I’d ask here as well….
Is this new jig capable of cutting dovetails???

That looks like the “Ultimate Box Joint Jig” to me! I really want one but don’t think I have the skill to build it. But wait…..I have a lot of talented friends who can build one for me. Now to find a volunteer…..

When you find one, Andy, have him build one for me too please! Sometimes I have a hard time understanding how a jig works. I get this! Thanks for sharing Stumpy.

Randy- It will cut dovetails… but only the tails. It can’t cut the pins, so it’s pretty useless for that type of joint. But that just means you have to build a box joint jig AND a dovetail jig!
Andy and Candy- Don’t let the looks fool you- it is actually really easy to build. It’s mostly done with the table saw. I built it in a day once I got the design all figured out. If you want to try, PM me with your email addresses in a few days and I’ll send you a free set of plans since you’re regulars on the big “Stumpy Nubs” thread.

Candy, I sent Stumpy a pm. If Jim has any mechanical talent maybe he can help us build it!

Using a green screen now? whoa! This isn’t woodworking any more, it’s TV production!!
If you don’t have sawdust on the lens it’s not a real woodworking show. :)

This looks like a fail safe jig. Something I will have to look into in the next few weeks. At first it looks like a challenge, but most things do until you get started. I will be giving this another look soon. Thanks Stumpy for making a good jig better.

The green screen gives us more options for the various videos we do, like tool reviews, blogs, etc. And if I use a photo of the shop when it’s clean, I don’t have to tidy up before filming!
In this video I used an altered photo for behind Mustache Mike. Can you tell whose shop he is in? (I did have to remove a lot of the clutter, but the benches, etc are still in the photo.)

Another great video! Looks like an interesting jig—am interested in feedback from users.
