Now my new table saw blade has arrived I can get on with testing it out for making box joints. First, a test run using the jig I posted about a few days ago.
Confident that it would do the job nicely, I then made up two new beehive roofs (or rather, threw away most of two worn out existing ones and re-used the roof covering for my new ones. The most tricky part was keeping the opposite ends of each piece in the correct orientation so the fingers interlocked instead of finding that the fingers were in the same position on ends that were supposed to mate. Not that I ever made that mistake. Oh no 🙂
I’m very pleased with how this has turned out, so I shall certainly be attempting more beehive parts.
