Small Box made with the Jointech Cabinetmaker

Attached are a couple pictures of a small box I made using the Jointech Cabinetmaker system. The box is 8" X 6" and is made from Bocote and Yellowheart bandsawed and planed to about 5/16" thick. The top is bookmatched and has a rabbit cut on the bottom to position it on the box. The finish is Tried and True original. The dovetails are 5/16" all made on a router table. For those of you not familiar with the Jointech, it is an incremental fence used in conjunction with a router table for making cuts with extreme accuracy.

Cool wood choice, they work well together ( making mental note ) and the dovetails look excellent. Great looking box Gene!

Wow Gene, that's beautiful. I like the wood combination, and the bocote knob on the top of the box is well-hidden in the picture. Also, as John said, those are some tight joints. You've motivated me to try some joinery with the old Incra jig I got a while back. I've got the templates and book and the video...I just need to actually try some of the stuff.

Thanks for posting, and I'll be looking forward to seeing more.

Vaughn,

It's certainly worthwhile taking the time to use it. Somewhat challenging but well worth it. Thanks for your comments. I am by no means an expert with mine but if you need any help holler.

John,

The Akeda stays, yes the bugs (me) are out of it. It has turned out to be a very creative tool.
