Did you do anything special for the finger joints? Is it manual or done with a jig?

It is manual, I just drew them on there and cut them on the scroll saw. When I get a router, I want to also get a dove tail jig so I can make those as well.

The dovetails are nice looking, but with the modern glues it looks like the finger joint is just as strong and a lot easier to cut. Here's a test of joint strength:

Dang they can hold a lot of pressure, even being a soft wood testing it with. Thanks for sharing that. Since the piece I was using was purple heart and I didn't have much, I just use a simple finger joint instead of experimenting with a more detailed way it looks. With future work I will cut more complex joints to see how they look in work.
