Meh, Matthias Wandel's still going to beat you on speed (and quite possibly strength) with his homemade pantorouter or box joint jig.

As much as I like nice joint design, I think a lot of that aesthetic beauty comes from when it's not machinable (or not traditionally anyway, iirc the pantorouter can make some pretty tight dovetails - because of the orientation vs. trying to route them 'normally'). It's not how fancy and curvey can it look, it's how intricate and fine the detail. Chunky dovetails don't look better than box joints in my opinion.

I would argue that it shouldn't be necessary to see joinery at all --- I find full-blind dovetails far more impressive and aesthetically pleasing.
