This time it’s a memorial box

Sitting directly under the lid cam helps get the middle box aligned and the rest I can trust is in place due to the jig.

There is a post in the free catagory that I highly recommend, it’s 3D printed risers for this very thing. I had a friend make me a set and they have been extremely valuable

The Trayless Jig-O-Matic

So probably my most famous post here is the tutorial on how to cut without the tray. And I do it frequently, and I needed to do a mass production run of cutting boards which will require the tray to get removed. Since it’s like 34 boards I figured a jig would make it so much easier. So I designed this flexible jig. I designed it for 3D printing (but actually would be trivial to make with draft board (or any other material). The 2 added items are the tabs on the side to tape down the jigs into pl…

Thanks for the mention there! Admittedly I did this after years of using scraps of draft board and/or acrylic stacked up (after years of facing my wife’s accusation of being a hoarder as I saved all those tiny scraps - although in fairness that is coming from a woman who has a collection of “interesting kidney/bladder stones I have removed in the OR” in jars near her desk), well with the jig I’m no longer needing to do that (as much)
