10. Glue the key to the jig.

11. Attach the jig to the miter gauge with a pair of screws.

12. Place the beveled end of a piece of stock in the jig, butting the edge up to the key (see Figure 6).

13. Make the first cut as shown.

14. Place the first cut over the key and make a second cut).

15. Continue this process across the width of the stock until all cuts are made, then do the same for all the beveled ends on the three pieces of stock. NOTE: Don't worry if the last cut results in a partial pin. When the cuts are done, you'll have fingers on one end of each side piece and both ends of the base piece.

16. Check the fit on the box joint. It should be snug, without the need for a mallet to drive the parts together. If the joint is tight, loosen the screws and relocate the jig to shorten (by less than 1/64") the distance between the saw blade and the key. NOTE: It's a good idea when using a jig like this to first make some trial joints in scrap stock.
