Box Joints

Making the drawer for the fwd berthing.  I made a jig to cut finger joints but I'm having trouble getting the sides to line up with the sides.  The pictures are for the benefit of the Woodworking forum.

Side view ... the drawers are not square but on a 15 degree angle.  I cut many samples to make sure the set-up was just right.

Fingers on the side pieces ... as you can see the line up correctly ... don't want to damage them by hammering them home, but they start together fine.

This a side and the end .... as you can see the pins don't line up.
