Making a box joint jig

[Mike M]

I'm just a lurker but I learned quick about electrical advice. I hold a master electricians license and 40 years on the job. Learned real quick to keep quiet.

I'm not Morris, but watch the line wrap? Unless Florida has decided to block non-commercial, educational content. :)

Was that for liability purposes or due to the massive amounts of incoming flak from the heavily opinionated (and highly wrong) wannabes out there, Mike? ("I didn't have any solder so I used chewing gum.")

Judging by the half-link shown above, Steve is, indeed, suffering from line wrap problems. The actual link is below. Note that it does not end in "De"

Steve...

If you were looking for the JPEG files, they were judged too small, lacking proper prose obfuscation, and in need of visual proof that the designs worked as advertised.

I deleted them from the server.

The box joint jig _still_ lacks photos, but you can find links to remnants of both designs in my project menu at:

Morris,

Many thanks, both for the explanation and the update. These look very interesting, and I can't wait to try them out.

Thanks again, Steve

An inspector once said arguing with the electrical inspecter is like wrestling with pigs. Eventually you'll figure out they enjoy wallowing in the mud.

Ok - I finally broke down and bought a little shirt-pocked digital video camera. If I can figure the little bugger out without breaking it, I'll add a video to the web page in spring.

See? I gave you an excuse to go buy yet another toy, er, I mean tool.

P.S: I hope you have a receipt and can return it. Those cheapies are truly nasty in most cases.

Thank you /so/ very much!

Well, it was either a cheapie (less than $100) or nothing. B'sides, the videos aren't for /me/ to watch. :->

I shot a couple of short clips at home to try it out (the tiny little thing did look kinda silly perched on my tripod) and it did ok when I loaded the file into the computer for playing - but I think they may have done some cost-cutting with their HDMI driver circuit.
