    Kehoe Spline Jig

    Any Creekers used the Kehoe Spline Jig? If so are you happy with the results?
    Would use it on small boxes to "add interest".

    I have had it for several years and have used it on a number of projects. I find the reinforcement it provides a simple miter joint significant for boxes, etc. I do like the way it looks.

    Best,

    Yes. I haven't used it much but very happy with the results. I do suggest buying the bearing mounted dovetail bits. Much easier to work with jig.

    Hello Jerry,

    Just to let you know I am not senile (yet), I do realize this is an old post. Did you ever get one of the jigs?

    My wife and I own the company, and are about to offer a jig through the Free Stuff Drawing. Maybe more than once if there is enough interest.

    Charles Neil recently did a video review of the jig.

    If you did not purchase a jig back in 2006, I hope you win one in the coming give-away here at SC!

    Dick, I had the link posted but it violated the TOS. My bad. I would post a picture or two but I am not sure I should. Don't want to cause trouble.

    It is the only jig by that name.

    I've had one for a few years and used it quite a bit - I'm very satisfied with the results. It certainly adds tremendous strength to the joint but I think it's at it's best with miters.

    That is really cool, ordered mine last night...

    I will post some results when I get it and make some boxes.

    I really like the look of dovetails on both sides.

    I have one, love it. I bought another to keep mine at my place (seems like it was always at my dads , now he has his own) I am not a "gadget" guy...but this tool is not like that for me. Super strong joints let me do things I could not before. Plus it is easy to use and just cool. Like this little stool, no way a simple miter would have held up...I could not flip this over and kick it apart with the splines now, no joke.
