Jig for Mitred Corner Boxes: how to make guide on youtube

[Andy Kev.]

I don't know if this has been posted before but I stumbled on it on YouTube yesterday:

It's a guide to building with hand tools the kind of jig you need for mitering the corners of boxes or other longish edges. It is also, in my opinion, an absolute model of clarity of explanation and demonstration and so is much better than many of the wobbly camera presentations you get on YouTube.

I wish he'd look at the camera, not his script or whatever is off to his right.

Nice boxes.

I'm just glad he's got a script!

Compare him to the usual YouTube fare: "Er.... hi there ... er I wanna show you how to ... (fumble, fumble, protracted view of ceiling) ... damn! ... hang on while I glue the camera to my belly button ... now where was I?" etc. etc. ad infinitum.

It would have been simple to have set that up to work with thin boards (the sort of boards you use for box making), without the need for loose and potentially inaccurate packers.
