Hi,

Thanks for adding this thread David; it gives a lot of useful advice to novices such as me.

As usual you've made this to the highest standards and it looks very professional indeed. My chum Mike Phelan kindly put me a kit together and I must get around to assembling it as these appear to be a must have piece of test gear.

Regarding making the comb jointed boxes; I can heartily recommend making the router comb jointing jig as David very kindly sent me construction details of the jig a while ago.

I made mine from offcuts costing me nothing and once assembled and set up it only took a couple of sample pieces before I was cutting perfect tight fitting comb joints. For anyone owning a router this is yet another very useful bit of kit.

I made mine larger to suit the offcuts I had and also added a length of 4"x2" softwood screwed to the underside of the table to allow the jig to be mounted in the vice.

I used to cut comb joints on both my band saw and table saw but this jig once set up is so convenient and rapid to use.

Sorry to hi-jack your thread David but here is a box I made using the jig. I've not tried it but I think with a bit of determination and using the correct cutter dovetail joints might even be a possibility?

Kind regards, Col.
