The box joint plans have been posted to the woodworking binary group several
times.

I built that jig several years ago and was never happy with it. I
replaced it with one tha Norm built on his show. His is not
adjustable but I made two of them One for 1/2" and one for 3/4.

This is not a bad jig which uses two "L" brackets to make an
adjustable index pin. However, it looks a lot of work just to make a
box joint jig. I've always made my box joint jig using wood from the
scrap bin. Two screws hold the wood that fits into the miter slot,
and one screw to hold a (wooden) index pin. I guess
www.backissuestore.com does not have this issue.
