How to Make a Wooden Jewelry Box / Keepsake Box
In this video I show how to make a diy jewelry box.
Small wooden boxes are great for small things ... like watches, rings and other forms of jewelry. So join me as we build a small keepsake or wooden jewelry box that features laminated splines.

i think you colin are a great teacher,,and i learn so much from you,,,,i know this is a old video but some of us has questions that dont never gets answered,,,,,i guess when you get to a certain stage on you tube,,as far as viewers,,it dont really matter,,,,take care
I like how humble you are, it's always nice to see that even the veteran woodworkers critique their work and point out things that they feel could've been done better. Makes a newbie, like me, feel better :-)

Beautiful little jewelry box or trinket box how ever you want to call it. I would never have noticed the little mistakes as you called them if you hadn’t pointed them out to me. I really like the build so I saved it to my library and plan on making one myself if I can. I’m fairly new to woodworking but I’m so enjoying myself that I’m in my shop everyday. Thanks Colin for all of your videos.
Collin I made this box using wormy maple,,looks good,,the hardest time I had was cutting the sides and sanding them,,but it turned out good,,im going to put felt and a small tray in it,,thanks again for the good idea,,,
Those splines really show up with the finish liked a lot buddy you are the master

GREAT video Colin. The curved sides really make it special along with the top. Mistakes happen when working on a project, especially in woodworking. As these are instructional videos, the mistakes that you pointed out make this a much better video. Learning what not to do is just as important as what to do! Thanks again.

A great project Colin. It was good to see the flocking being done on this project as I find a lot of woodworkers are not aware of the process. I enjoyed this a lot. Derek

I like this project. Quite a few things i havent seen before. Laminated splines, curved sides, beadlegs. I think i would prefer a bit more detail on the top/lid, as its a bit flat compared to the rest, but its really nice and quite unique. Very enjoyable watch!
loved this episode. thanks for leaving the things you would do differently in there. class act - nice project.
Fantastic project Collin! I have never considered the curves you used all around the box. Adds a great detail to the project. Thanks for the video and narrative, Great as always!
Great design, if you put a larger bearing on the router it should take care of that problem. I enjoy your video's keep them coming.

+Anthony Viscuso Jr I put the biggest bearing I have, which is actually a bearing with an outer rim attached to it to make it wider, but it was still cutting a deeper cut than I wanted, I must check and see if there is yet another larger diameter bearing. Thanks for the reminder on this, appreciate it ...
Great video, Colin! The use of bandsawed exterior curves is really cool! Easy to do, yet resulting in an impressive and unique design. The two-tone splines are also a very nice touch. Thanks!

It's beautiful. Just an idea for your next one. Instead of flocking, just stain the inside the same, and get a piece of card stock felt from the craft store and cut to fit. Another idea is to cut a piece of thin cardboard like from a cereal box and spray adhesive and stick black or brown velvet to the card board. Just like you would cover a seat cushion. It's beautiful. I recommend not sticking either to the wood, so it makes cleaning the inside easier.
I think I would have cut the rabbit before the glue up. Jus say'n. Love the splines. Great design. New word of the day Flocking. I re-purpose pool table felt usually.

Hey Colin, I was going to give a thumps up on this video, however you didn't show the hinging part of the video. When making a box of any kind i think the more important part of the video would be the process of installing the lid. After saying that, you did a great job as always.

Nice job...a good video without the nonsense that other "woodworkers" use.
Just shows you have to watch the whole video, I first thought.. WOW that's a 'Thick' box; then it became clear :) You did not show the lid hinge very clearly Colin, I am assuming you drilled a couple of holes through the side of the box, into the lid? I do enjoy your Vid's thanks for taking the time

When you first cut the wood, it looked like you could park Dad's Buick on it! ;) the curved sides took care of that perfectly ! Really refined the look. Did the sides require much sanding left over from the bandsaw blade?

How did you attach the lid? You mentioned putting pins in a little bit off so the doesn’t open to 90 degrees, but how did you do that?
Nice idea on the laminated splines. Did you lay the inside ply at right angle to the two outer plies? With mitered box construction it would have been very easy to cut a quarter-inch groove for the bottom on the table saw before glue-up...not the look you wanted?

+Michael Anderson Great point Michael ... no I did not cross mount the plywoods. All the plys were laid in the same orientation. I think it might be an idea to try a couple of different versions because you raise some good points. Basically all I did was glue up a the three sheets of veneers then press them in my wood vise for a couple of hours to keep them flat. This worked fine, but now I am wondering about trying your thought of the cross plys. Thanks for this ... some great ideas from this, appreciate your comments here ...
Nice box, the top needs to screwed on to keep ashes from spilling after I am gone. Hell may make a base for looks. When dumped it can be handed down to someone who doesn't want top pay $200 for an urn. I think a jewelry urn would work great. Just fill with jewelry till time to use again. I have found so far that funeral directors don't like people donating urns for the needy. Use epoxy to seal bottom and top with screws and epoxy in the ashes are not going to be dumped.Keep up the good work, maybe build an urn and raffle it off to one of your viewers.
That's a nice design with the curves and splining. The resawing of the curved sides came out nicely, but I'd hate to try that with a serious hardwood w/o a pretty significant bandsaw! Also, have you tried using a spray mount product for the flocking procedure (as mentioned in the comments from your 2012 flocking vid)?

Very nice box! Was happy to see the splines! Skip the flocking, it's ugly. Did you just glue the feet on, or dowel them in? I have a lot of wood beads. Thanks for the vid!

+Wayne Welshans Hi Wayne, +HOPKIRK kinda nailed with "stronger", in a box this small, I really was not to concerned about strength, both would be fine, I was more concerned about the look, but now that you mention strength, that's a great point. My guess is that laminated splines would be slightly stronger just based on my knowledge that laminating woods together are almost always stronger than non-laminated woods. Often the wood will break before the glue joints, at least in long grain gluing which this was. Thanks for the comment on this ... I am going to see if I can expand more on the strength aspect of these kinds of splines. Great topic, thanks to both of you :)
Colin love the box but would like to know how you did the hinge and how you fitted it. Keep up the good work

+The Russian Woodworker Hey RW, spalted logs are hard to find. You need to get them when they are just beginning to rot, too far rotted they are not good and not rotted enough means they likely won't have spalting. There is a way of making your own ... I think Fine Woodworking mag had an article on this several years ago. Try Google, you will likely find something there. Making your own is the best, that way you have full control. Finding spalted logs is very hard and very often unsuccessful, I have only ever found a very few in my lifetime.

I actually like this method, not so much for this kind of a build with 45 degree corners but for butt joints, much quicker than trying to figure out stop and start dado cuts, and you still need to cut them with a chisel in the end too ... thanks buddy, glad you raised the topic, good one to learn on, maybe something for a vid in the future, going to add this to my list :)
This is the most awkward way I have ever seen t make a box.
I think you should visit the woodglut website if you want to do it yourself.
