Default Jigs

Wow! That's some pretty neat stuff. I have a similar jig for doing
finger joints, only it's made for a router, and uses numbered
spacers. It works pretty well, but I'm sure the geared approach is
more accurate. Does anyone know if you can buy gears like that? (It
seems to me it would take way to much time to make the gears on my
own..).

You might email the author and see if he'll sell some.

I don't know that it would take a lot of time however. I've been looking
at his plans and mulling them over. He already provides a gear cutting
template, which would serve well. And from what I see, he cuts the gears
out on a bandsaw, which looks pretty straightforward.

I, too, have a jig for boxjoints on the router, but this guy's design
looks so lovely that I'd be happy to trade that jig for his.
