TxBeeFarmer,

I make my own hive bodies large brood and medium. If you make good finger
joints the boxes are self squaring, just bang them together with a rubber
mallet. But I must admit, I always check the diagonals before I let the glue
dry.
The whole operation, finger joints, rabbit, hand holds, ect, is done with a
good table saw.
I always make at less 4 boxes at a time. The setup is the same for 1 box or
50, so it saves time. I can make over half a dozen boxes in one afternoon
(not counting painting).
I'm sure a jig could be conjured up but you really don't need one.
