Hello,

I want to make this beehive
http://www.beesource.com/build-it-yo...ve-steve-moye/
, it's called a "WBC"hive if anyone wants to read about it.

Basically I have no idea how to make the finger joint at at angle like
that. Im sure i could work out the angles, but cant work out how
tomake it with a router.


I'm Xposting this to rec.woodworking for you 'cos there's some clever blokes
on there who might be able to come at this from a different direction and
sort you out properly


If I had only a few supers to build, I'd make the first pairs of cuts on
the bandsaw, then chop the material between pairs of cuts with a chisel.

If I had any quantity to build, I'd cut 'em on the cnc router using a
1/16" bit...

....but if I had a choice, I'd make nice, simple box-joint supers on the
table saw.
