Look up "Using dado to cut box joints for hive bodies" under Bee Forum.
Try that link there is a discussion and links on Box Joints. I had trouble finding that file myself but someone posted it there.
I'd give you the link but I can't figure out how to put the link here!

Hello filmmlif et al,
Here I go again. I too tried to build boxes with the fingerjoints but my cheep table saw did not allow me to install a dado blade. So I decided to use my router and a dovetail jig to make my boxes. The proof is in the pudding and so my boxes are now two years old,only glued and hold up very well. The other advantage is that with this dovetailing you are cutting a complete corner at a time and it also does not require subsequent trimming. Maybe you want to try it too, I am convinced. Take care and have fun.
