Build a Quick and Easy Splined-Miter Keepsake Box

Learn how to build the box as well as a table saw jig for cutting the spline slots

Bruce Weber of Weber Woodshop shows you how to make an elegant box with splined-miter joints on his SawStop Professional Cabinet Saw. Make your own at home, vary the wood species and dimensions to mix things up, and have fun with it!
