Project Information
I have been woodworking except for my college years, since I was 18 years old and had never made a box joint box.
I have seen many shop made and expensive box joint jigs but did not want to spend time to make one or spend money to buy one. So one day I said to myself "self, there must a simpler way". So playing around with my router table and my router sled I made spacers that fit between the router sled and the router table fence and made this box. For this box I only needed three spacers.
The body is 1/4" maple, the top 1/8" Midwest baltic birch plywood that I veneered with mahagony veneer on both sides, finished with several coats Varathane satin water based polyurethane, 4 1/16" diameter neobidium magnets, and inset hinges.
This is another "stuff from my shop" projects where I only used stuff in my garage.
Total material cost was $0.00!
