Jewelry Box for Valentine's Day
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
In this video I show you how I made a jewelry box for Valentine's Day. It all started with a piece of wood that I discovered a few months ago when I re-sawed a piece of walnut. When I bookmatched the pieces, it resembled the face of an owl. It was destined to be a really nice top for a jewelry box.
If you run into difficulty with the brass screws and shear off a head like I did, you can use a screw extractor like this one that is designed for very small screws. amzn.to/2jNl2Ak

The box attracts with its simplicity, and most importantly with its functionality. Nature has already created beauty as a texture, texture ...

Wow! This jewelry box is so lovely. I love how the top's pattern looks like a butterfly. I would be so happy to get a gift like this. Maybe I'll try to make this for myself.

I WOULD make if I thought I could. Really nice.
I love it thanks for that 👌👌👌
5:26 THANK YOU! I want to experiment with box joints, but have been racking my brain trying to figure out how to cut a dado for the bottom that would not be visible from the outside. I concluded that a router table would be the only way to do it. It is surprisingly hard to find videos where they explicitly talk about this problem instead of glossing over it. Thank you for calling it out. Beautiful box and great video all around.
Beautiful box. I’m crafting my daughter a music box for Christmas and had no idea how I was going to glue the edges of the 2 bottom pieces, and saw your rubber band trick. Perfect idea that I’ll be using. Thanks for the great video!

Thank you for sharing your skill with us. I am inspired by your skill and the ease with which you present. Feels much like you talking to a friend. I for one would love to see a video on the Incra box joint (I just purchased one). Thanks again.

Nice job 👍
one of the better boxes i have seen... and I've seen a lot. lol
I am ot sure that I can make it, but since my granddaughter turns 12 in early March, I am going to give it a try. If only I had a few more tools!
Excellent, just need some marquetry now !!!
yes i love it
Good build. Add extra long stop blocks on your router fence by making long adjustable ones that mount to your existing fence by clamps, screws or bolts. Then when done take them off.

I'm new to your channel this only the third video I have watched and I just wanted to say I love this jewelry box and the style you made it the box joints but then rounded over, the option for the top with magnets the re sawing off the wood just AWESOME. Keep up the great work. Can't wait to see the next video. And also it would be great to see the incra box joint jig in action.

Thank you, Thom. I'm glad you found my channel. I'll definitely work on putting together a video on the INCRA i-box jig one day soon.
I've used brusso hinges on a lot of boxes, and have always fought with the screws! My latest box I stayed away from using a steel screw, and just used paste wax to lubricate the brass ones as I put them in. I went very slowly, when resistance felt high id back it out and add more wax. And I gotta say I've had the best results yet!!

First time ever seen your work. Very nice job , both video and of course the build. I appreciate your honesty and telling us your mistakes WHICH TEACHES US. Unlike the ones who hide it on video and are to proud? To show mistakes.Thanks from MR.B your newest subscriber.

This is the first video on your channel that I have seen. After watching it, I subscribed. I have made many hundreds of boxes over the years and I never once thought to mount the top in the carcass with magnets. That is really a cool idea and the result is a nice clean look. Thanks for sharing this idea. Well done!

Excellent work.Don't know where you live, but I have built lots of boxes and vever had a problem with glued panels. I believe the thinness of the panel is fine for shrinkage and movement
nice one

I've seen a bunch of your videos and you do some amazing work especially with this jewelry box. You should consider making things for sale. I'd buy some even though I'm slowly gradually getting into wood working.

Thanks for your comment. I have sold quite a few things at craft sales, but it's a fairly inefficient way to conduct business. I hope to set up an online shop sometime in 2018 to make it easier for people to view and purchase some of the things that I make.
Waouuuuwww !!! 🤩
I would love to make that box I don't have the wood for it and it's very very awesome too
A beautiful box. I would make a suggestion on brass hinge screws. I do everything that you did but I coat my brass screws with beeswax before installing. This is a great video because you explain the process. Thanks Tom Maples

Thanks, Tom. You're absolutely right. I mentioned that in my follow-on video where I explained how to remove a broken screw. The second time around I used a gimlet to properly thread the screws, and I coated the screws with wax to make sure they went in smoothly. Worked like a charm!
It's beautiful. Simple and elegant. I would make it but without the box joints because I would mess those up. I am wondering what would happen if the walnut top was glued instead of attached with magnets?
yes very nice..

Very cool. Coincidentally I made a very similar box a few years back. I beveled all edges however which ended up giving the corners triangular facets which mimicked gem facets. Also, I stained the wood before beveling so the faceted edges had contrast with the faces. Anyhow, I only recently found your channel and really enjoy the eclectic designs. 👍

@@Woodumakeit Just threw together a slideshow of an older box from a few years back on my channel. It has the same stain and bevel technique. This was my first project beyond a cutting board or painted shelf back then.
Please, Mike, make a vid on the INCRA IBOX. I just purchased one, assembled and tuned it but haven't made any sawdust with it yet. I'd love to hear your take on it. I bought the wooden hinge jig also - eager to use it also.

OK, I hope to be able to do that soon. I never seem to have enough time, but I hope it will be my next video. I do not have the hinge jig, but at least I can give a few pointers about the iBox jig. I'd definitely like to learn more about the wooden hinge jig.
Yes, I would and probably will. The only change I'll make will be using jewelry box liners that are premade. They're inexpensive and they're cover in felt. I'll have to see about finding some bird's eye maple. My WoodCraft store rarely has it. But, I have a fair amount of ambrosia and that just might make a great look.
yes !

Jab the screws into a clear/white candle to get some wax on the threads, Broseppi. Wax is your best friend with those tiny fragile material screws on a lot of hinges. Trust it. Or also dramatically reduces splinter and cracking into a shallow screw location or close to edges on thinner cuts. 🧐👍🏼🇺🇸
