Hello All!

I'm just getting into making small boxes (for now as gifts to family and friends).

I'm interested in Japanese style and western style (like Doug Stowe boxes).

I was wondering if any one else does these boxes and if so, what type of jigs do you make to help make the process easier/safer/accurate?

thanks

Welcome to the forum! When you get a minute update your profile with first name on your signature line and location so it will show in the left panel.

Doug Stowe boxes are really nice. I don't know what jigs are necessary for them, though. What tools do you have? You can add that to your profile, as well, but you can also tell us here so we can help you.

If my memory serves me right Doug Stowe has published at least one book on making his boxes.

I just did a search - he has done 90 magazine articles, 11 books, and 3 instructional DVD's. :surprise2:
