Hello, I am doing my first joinery project and have opted for finger Joints to create a Ash Jewellery Box.

The fingers fit together pretty well, no gaps as I experienced the first time I tried to make one.

However, I stupidly measured one edge of the thickness and assumed they'd be both the same.

They aren't...

So the finger joint doesn't sit flush to the face of the wood, is their anyways to fix this without extra cutting as I am wottird about creating gaps.

I was thinking of hand planning them till they are flush. However, if anyone has any better ideas....

I'm probably gonna do a few practice attempts on scrap before the next cut. So any tips on measuring and cutting accurate finger joints will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks :)
