I have seen so many projects made from pallet wood from rocking horses to saw horses, and this is by far the most beautiful piece of them all. I am sure your girlfriend will love it and cherish it for the rest of her life. It isn't often that someone gives you a gift that they made by hand, but when they do, the person receiving it knows that it is special because you took the time to produce a one of a kind gift that no one else has. Good for you sir, thank you for the inspiration.

Very impressed especially with the hand planes. Nice job!!!

meranti are common where we are. you’re absolutely right about it getting fluffy after sanding. Wiping it with a damp cloth after the first sanding helps to bring the fluff up, but it’ll smoothen nicely after the subsequent sanding

Beautiful ! Now she owns unique jewelry box that one day will be historical artifact :)

Nice job Keith. Also nice to hear someone on KZread say that the finish applied came down to "it's all I've got at the moment..." Always dubious of the "I had this gold bar laying around the shop so I thought I'd make a ......."-brigade.

Keith, for all us average guys who try to make something nice using the wood to hand which is often pallet wood or recycled timber you are an inspiration. The box is beautiful and from all the projects you have made your home must look super. A box like that turns a girlfriend into a fiancee !. As always a big thumbs up.

It came out looking great, especially the inlay when you applied the finish.

Enjoyed watching the project and really like the way you show the little blemishes and how you correct them. Subscribed. Good job.

As Ive been doing quite some boxes lately I must say you didnt go the easiest way. Excellent video and inlay was the thing that really stood out! Job very well done!

Fantastic Keith, bet your girlfriend was really thrilled with it. Gifts mean so much more when they are crafted by someone you love

Great job Keith !!!.

was good to know how long you spent making it and the final comments were great.

Looks great. Im sure she will love it

Very cool mate! Loved watching the grain pop at the end!! :)

Hey man this build kicks ass the inlay on the lid was a great idea hard to believe that is pallet wood

Very nice. Very nice indeed. Great job.

This is a very nice project.

Lovely job, well done

Very beautiful!

Nádherné,klobouk dolů,perfect,bombastikové.. bravo bravo bravo

Beautiful.

A really stunning design Keith. Your girlfriend will be proud. Great video chap

Your missus is a lucky lady. A really beautiful box. Hope u find something in the tip soon!

Very lovely!

from trash pallet wood to a thing of beauty. Well done Mate !

Brilliant work Keith.. I’ve cut up loads of pallets for projects and do like to see the look on peoples face when i point to a pallet and say that’s what it used to be… Pallets are made up of some timers I couldn’t guess to name but come up beautiful when a finish is applied.

I know this is an old comment but years ago I worked for a export company that dealt with some dollar stores in the US like dollar tree. We would get pallets made from purple heart, sapele, blood wood, black walnut and a few others. I still have several pallets of sapele and blood wood from there. I wish I could go just to get their pallets but they won't let me now that I don't work there lol

Great work.

Very good work

Love it

excellent work.Loved the inlay idea.Looked better than th bought stuff.Only thing that I thought you could have left out was glueing in the bottom panel.The frame does the job of holding it in without glue

Great job man.

Really nice job.

yes, top job. given me some great ideas for my fiancee

Very nice! I really like your work..

Awesome work Keith! Lovely looking box and your final thoughts in the video have highlighted the pallet wood i've been using to make a table for my kids. I love the look of the wood but on certain angles it has gone 'fluffy' as you say on mine. Kinda strange but not the end of the world.

Nice build. Thanks for the idea on cutting the splines. I never thought of using an older blade as a thickness guide.

young Meranti is soft, old tress are hard, used for doorframes in the old days, Today the trees are young and therfor soft and hairy(fluffy) close to tree limbs areas. making sanding or planing a pain the (hmm) the lid loos really nice , you can do a cross as well (i know work work work )

Great build my friend! Went back and watched some more of your videos, like the blanket chest. Nice skill and designs!

Awesome and informative video! Definitely ignore the stupid comments complaining about music haha. I've watching a lot of woodworking videos and I thought yours was fantastic. Thanks for sharing!

Really liked this project. I haven't seen any of your videos before. I watched all three videos of this what a great job. Keep up the great work you have a new sub in me!

Very nice I cut some boards out of some cherry fire wood today. I will have to try my hand at this nice job thank you.

kickass!

looks nice

Lovely professional workmanship, your attention to detail is very impressive, you girlfriend is a very lucky woman, the only problem is, that if she's anything like my wife she will now expect you to fill it for her, LOL !. For your information, my stepdaughter's husband is a carpenter, and, he takes his planer/thicknesser knives into the local college to be sharpened. Regards, Wayne.

Great job im sure your girlfriend will love it. We have a lot of Meranti here in Australia often used in building for skirting boards architraves and around windows we it comes from SE Asia. Although its classed as a hard wood here (so is Balsa wood) it is soft and can go furry when it is worked. I think that hardwood and softwood classifications are more based on how the tree rows and grain structure.

Very god job 👍.

Well - I watched all three parts of this and was spellbound and have learned so much as a budding woodworker. You make the whole thing look so easy and I know it's all about practice but right now I really do envy someone who can turn out such a lovely piece of work. do you do courses? If not you should - If you do please let me know. Thanks; really enjoyed this and will be giving it a go but in the absence of a thicknesser I'll be using some already prepared timber.

Nice

Great job, fair play to ye..

that was great project,Loved the splines and inlay I think that's what people will look at,You could of spent £50 or more on better hinges and latch and would she of noticed probably not. not everyone is sponsored by Rockler,Welldone you turned a pile of crappy wood into something beautiful

It 'looks' like pink mahogany. No idea what it is.... Certainly a hard wood - very heavy and dense. But pink - bizarre.

yeah fluffy grain is a killer lol. Nice project sir

Brilliant set of videos. A really great end product. What table saw do you use?

👍👍👍

Very nice box but I bet you anything though that she was expecting a ring at the bottom of the box or behind your back after showing it to her.... that's definitely a labor of love. Nonetheless, best wishes to you both.

Great job,but brass dome/pan head screws would have finished it off just nicely

Beautiful box. I'm sure your girlfriend will appreciate it very much. If ever one should say to you: "Time flies" you can respond. "No, no true. I have it here in this box" :-)

Rag 'n' Bone Brown you might find a better selection of tiny hardware from a company that sells hardware for purses and jewelry. Just for the future, the jewelry box is delightful just as you made it.

I'd have used the pallet wood on the fire and gone and got me some better wood for the box, what's that saying about a silk purse.....nice work though.

I think its considered a hardwood: www.wood-database.com/white-meranti/ However my test is the thumb nail test. if i can make a mark i consider it soft. Nice work, good job.

حلو بس في احلا من هيك وشغل انضف

I just finished making a box out of meranti wood that I recycled from an old door. This wood is used here in South Africa for making doors. Check out my box on my Instagram @duncanoelschig . Cool build by the way, I like how you recessed the lid.

Oh man... Lots of work, lots of effort, a nicely made box - and then you used that crappy hardware? That was a let-down...

Couldn't be bothered watching this. I wish someone would tell me why it is necessary to have loud music playing and have to shout over it. Completely ruined it for me.
