WTB: ShopNotes #8 Magazine

I am looking to make a box-joint jig that was originally published in the above magazine issue. I can buy the plans or I can buy the original magazine. Between the two I would rather have the magazine and the article; if anyone has this issue and would not mind parting with it please contact me. And if someone would care to share the plans that would work as well. If you made the jig and would care to share your experiences using and making it that would be great. Thanks all ...

does not have this issue.

The box joint plans have been posted to the woodworking binary group several times.

I built that jig several years ago and was never happy with it. I replaced it with one tha Norm built on his show. His is not adjustable but I made two of them One for 1/2" and one for 3/4.
