Has anyone made a box with rounded angles, using finger joints?

How do I learn how to go about angled finger joints, if even possible?

My two favorite from @evansd2 :

Variations of finger joints

Finger joints are practical and boring. Rather than fighting against them as a constraint, I tried to imagine them as design elements. I only had one general rule: Anything added should actually be part of the joint. This is about finger joints, not inlay projects. This is what I came up with. The techniques came in a few varieties: Obscured: I tried to implement them in a way that would minimize or distract from the inherent blockiness. Highlighted: Run toward the light. Incorporate …

Experimenting with thin finger joints

1/8" solid Walnut from http://www.gvwp.net/ Entire joint length is about 1" (1.02 or something). The fingers are about 0.035" wide. I think I could probably take them down to about 0.02". I tried at closer to 0.015, and it scorched to death. Manually rounded corners with sandpaper, sanded to 600 grit, then hit with a coat of Feed-n-wax. I like the look, I think I will incorporate it in my next project. [image] [image] Scorched to death: [image] [image] [image]
