Brilliant! Best one I have seen yet.

I also liked Matt Wandels jig but for me it is a bit complex and if you lose count of the turns all your material can easily be ruined in one go. Your jig appears easier to opperate.

I was thinking of making something similar using a door catch to locate into a division bar.

Where did you get the alloy strip with the 1/8" divisions from?

@avro007 Thanks!

I cut the strip from aluminum and cut out the divisions on the table saw.

There are more details on the project in the article on my site (link in description).

I have a new version of this jig that will be ready in a few days. It's smaller and less complex. Look for the video this coming Friday night (EST).

I built Wandell's Box Joint Jig, but I really like this on too. Nice work.
