begginer finger joints

8/6/2000 10:51 PM
rich	begginer finger joints ive never tried doing this but am going to build 1 or 2 cabs for myself. below it says you can do finger joints w/ a table saw, how do you do this? it would be alot easier then haveing to get a jig since im not making many cabs. or would dovetails be easier? my other option is taking it to someone and haveing them do the joint, and then do the rest. i'd be nice to do it myself though. I checked out the link for the DIY finger jig. seems like alot of work to get the metal machined, and i didn't really get how it worked from looking at it. im sure if i saw it done it would make sense though. thanks for the input! rich
