That drawing for that is still at

and when I have a bit of time I'll turn it into a web page...


Encouraged by that, I wondered what other jigs might be built using
only the blade kerf width as a measurement. I finally decided that if
one kerf width (as in the lap joint jig) was good, two might also be
interesting. First thought was a box joint jig, so I did a bit more
doodling and came up with this method

This drawing should be reasonably self-explanitory, but I'm already
planning to turn it into a web page with a bit of text to provide a
bit of explanation with each drawing.


Enjoy!


I am really looking forward to the dumb ass explanation of how to make
these and how to use them. *I know it SHOULD be self explanatory ...


Ditto that. *'Splain, Mo!
