Can anyone direct me to a jig for putting keys or splines into the mitred corners of a box?

Here are a couple:

For doing keyed mitered joints on boxes rather that frames. Make a similar jig only use a 2 x 4 or 2 x 6's instead.

Hi Geordie

Here's just one more that Gary (seawolf21) came up with
You can put in spines or a dovetails for the dovetail keys with his quick to make jig and it can all be done on the router table (quick and easy one)

Thanks Corey / Bj. I don't have a table saw yet so I need a router based solution. I've printed off the keyed mitre jig from one of Corey's links (Project 14658EZ) and should be able to adapt it for router table use. Thanks again.
