I'd cut the joints with this:
A simple fixture as TIG mentions would make it simple to create accurate joints.
I would too if I had one.

I know where you can get one.

In the case of the Puzzle headache...
I am agree with all these tools can make any precision cuts but that can't say what "sides" must be increase or decrease!
Without the entiere solution's path known!
Else the gliding will be blocked at some place!
It's not only the "nicks" but sometimes an entiere side face must be cut!
And without the solution you can't build it! -
Hello, Woodarc. I know how to do this joint (= I have worked out how to do it) the way that Japanese design house does it. Since I am brand-new to this forum, and don't know how to post photos, best you go to this link where I tell the whole story (for one sample joint):
It is a lot easier to make than the replies on this thread suggest - and easiest of all if you have a radial arm saw.
Love this crazy forum. I will be back.
Cheers
Mark
