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.


Any help is appreciated.


Thanks,
Adam


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

Meanwhile

I just took a look at the drawings onhttp://www.beesource.com/files/10frwbci.pdf

As it stands there's NO way to cut the joints with a router because the cuts *
would be parallelogram shaped. The cuts would have to be cut parallel with
each other but at an angle relative to the board edge


Mill the sides, chop the baselines with a chisel.
