Making proud box joints - Kizar_Sozay - 02-08-2018
For the bread proofing box. I didn't want to make a plain box so I decided to join the top to the sides with box joints. I'll be doing this on the TS with a jig and dado set. I'm thinking about raising the dado set about 3-16" above flush to leave the ends a bit proud. I would then bevel the long sides on a stationary belt sander. Anyone have a better way to do this and then how do I easily bevel in between the pins.
This G&G is pretty cool but I don't think I want to get that involved and I don't want that wide a pin/socket as I milled the stock to 9/16" and that will be the spacing over a 12" depth.. I could go for a roundover, maybe.

How about a sharp chisel and touch up with a file?

Thinking a bit about this and this is for food prep. If I start making joints with nooks and crannies it will just be a PITA to clean and make places for bacteria to grow.. I'm going with flush joints.

For future reference you could dry assemble the box & use a marking knife to cut lines for the depth & just use a small block plane.

I really like that style of box joint.
