Do you have any video of that? I watched your show all the time it was on, if I wasn't working. Great show, too bad that you couldn't keep on the air.

I have used the joint making two Grandfather clocks and a Hope Chest. However, i went to great pains to make the joints fit flush using a traditional fence. I never thought of using your box joint fences of which i have a set. Thanks for this great tip. The products and tips from this web site work great.

If you want the fences that are made from this material then www.oak-park.com is the place to go. John:

I have used this joint in the past (although with a lot more sweat and worry) for several small boxes about 5 inches high. It worked great ! How do you get your height for a blanket box ? Aren't they at least 24 inches high ? The kind that sits at the foot of the bed ? Bo Great job of presentation !

Would making the dado along the grain not mean that the grain is oriented perpendicular in the front of the box? Have to try this out in my next blanket box.
