New Box Joint Jig ???

[wghatcher]

In the discussion linked below, some references are made of a new box joint jig that would be coming to market soon. Just wondering if there are any updates.

I know there are lots of plans for making box joint jigs, but the comments on this one had me interested.

Thanks, Greg

Rockler has one, but I don't know if it's the one you are referencing. http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=21338

Well, it is close. I am not at liberty to provide details because it has not been released for sale, but it has already seen the light of day. A retail-accurate, pre-production version was displayed and demonstrated at the Woodcraft National Sales Conference & Vendor Trade Show in Nashville, Tennessee on 23 June. The reports I heard were very positive. I don't know if the Woodcraft store owners and managers are free to talk about it, but you can ask Herb Shelley from the Raleigh Store since he attended and may have seen it. One NC dealer said he was going to get rid of his Woodsmith jig and get this new one.

I have already written a little story about its development and once I'm cleared, I'll post it.

Alan, Thanks for the feedback. I remembered your comments before and had been watching for updates.

I studied the Lynn Sabin jig years ago...
I think it's a pretty good jig... but you have to work at it... Turning a knob...
