I would love for some thoughts about this idea. I have seen many videos on jigs for making finger joints, either by router or by table saw, BUT there are some folk here who don't own a table saw, or router table, but there is many wood workers who still use hand saws, dovetail, dozukis etc. So, if you were to take a jig similar to what Mr Steve Maskery made on You Tube and turned it upside down, of course you are going to need to tweak it, so basically, instead of pushing your wood over a router bit or circular saw blade, you would be cutting the saw onto the wood.......... I hope this kind of makes sense, let me do a drawing of what I am on about and come back a little later!
 
The finger/ box joint is a machine joint. If you want to use hand tools, opt for the
superior dovetail joint. It holds better and is easier to cut.
