I recently had the good fortune of working with Gary Rogowski, a well-known educator and author. If you aren't familiar with Gary, he wrote Taunton's Complete Illustrated Guide to Joinery: www.amazon.com/gp/product/1561...
You know, that little reference book almost every woodworker has in their library? Since Gary was in the area on family business, we decided to spend a couple days together building one of his projects: a jewelry box with a slight Asian influence.
The seemingly simple box serves as an opportunity to work on numerous techniques including finger joints, breadboard ends, sprung joints, dowel reinforcement, and rice paper application. And speaking of finger joints, Gary has a really cool trick for getting accurate and repeatable finger joints at the bandsaw.
With only two short days to work with, we weren't able to complete the entire box with Gary. But I picked up where he left off and finished it up myself. I didn't really like the original base so I decided to give mine some small feet. Seems like a good place to put your own spin on such a beautiful box.
This project was documented in Popular Woodworking Issue #190 (June 2011) under the name Jasmine Jewelry Box. You can read text from the article here: www.popularwoodworking.com/pro...

Marc and Gary, this was extremely informative and helpful. The final product just came out fantastic. Thank you two (and Nicole) so much for this.
Great to see Gary in your vid. Great looking walnut box and as always a wonderful presentation.
What a beautiful box! Great vid.
Thanks Mark. I too am a big fan of Gary. I'd love to visit his school, seems like a great guy to learn from.
nothing but greatness here... THANKS MARC!!!!
I always love seeing you put in hinges. The perfect result is very satisfying to me
AAGGGGHHH! Another great project to add to my list. Now if I could only find the time.......
Thanks for keeping the Wood Whisperer going. It's helped me out a lot!
Glad to see someone else uses bamboo skewers for dowels too. I originally bought a big box of them planning on using them for grilling garden goodies, but the garden takes too much time away from woodworking. :)
Beautiful work, thanks for the video!
Marc, as always, great video. I have enjoyed following you and Gary for many years. Keep up the good work
Great Jewelry Box Marc, thanks to you and Gary for showing us this awesome build!
There's one thing, I couldn't get out of my mind. I thought, after I saw the box on Facebook, that you'd used brass pins to reinforce the joints, well after all I'm not disappointed by the bamboo dowels, but still think brass would have been another nice alternative.
Greetings from Good Old Germany

Beautiful box Marc, and very well explained build technique.
Cheers

Beautiful work on this box. Such a small project with so many places to learn something new, or improve on a skill.
Great video! Just made this for my Wife for our anniversary. I changed a few things (different handle was the main thing), but the overall plan and video were great to follow, thank you! I also used a Lid Stay from Brusso to hold the lid open at 95deg - that worked out nicely.
Very nice box :) Thanks for sharing this experience, good finishing tips too!
Marc, Great Video.
Your final product is amazing. Great Touch & nice to see Gary along side
Your NJ Neighbor

Superb episode! Lots of great work on display here.
Gr8 build Marc. Lotsa good tips as well. Thnx
Thanks Marc! Very educational video. As usual, I'm inspired by your work.
So many amazing tools used in this build
well sir as usual brilliant project excellently executed with a fantastic video thank you for sharing plus your guest
THAT WAS AWESOME!!! Thanks so much to you both!!!
Great box. Very clean work. Thanx.
Couple of new tricks for the arsenal thanks for the great project video/plans.
Great video. Really love the box. Good job!
Beautiful box Mark and great video a lot of good techniques.
Awesome project and great videography! Thank you! For a finishing touch, consider adding crushed velvet to the inner compartments. Some rich blue or red crushed velvet would really make it nice and functional for cherished jewelry. Again, your teaching skills are top notch, thank you
Very nice project. Simpme and elegant! Very well done video for youtube. You should do these more frequently here on youtube. Thank you very much mark!
Excellent work, looks very elegant.
I really like this project.
very nice and superb design... thanks
Beautiful
holy crap, gary teaches in my hometown. score. lookin him up and making a wishlist.....
That's a high quality box that looked fun to make!
Oh, and thank you Gary too. :)
great video, keep em comin, John from Ga
Also, using a pencil as a push stick is a great trick! I make RC sailboats, so am always cutting small planks - the pencil eraser push stick trick (and a jig) will work great for me, thanks!
Just awesome work man! Keep it up :)
very nice work as usual, keep up the great quality work, it's a real pleasure to see. (would be great to see your plans in metric too...)
Very good job 👏
Those pins look gorgeous
One word ... SPECTACULAR. Another, envy; to me and I had not gone well or badly
Nice band saw!!
You are the best man, algun dia seré como tu
Be careful with those X-ACTO Knives they can cut very fast and sometimes where you don't want them too. Awesome video along with great instruction. Thanks for sharing.
good work
I had no idea I had a woodworking class right in my own back yard. Summer school here I come, again.
The more videos of yours I watch, the more I realize how badly I need to both, own a nice set of chisels and also practice/perfect my technique and use of them.
magnificent
If I had that box I would not want the lid to flop back too far. I would install a chain or other hardware inside to keep the lid in a generally vertical position when open. Also, a mirror on the under side of the lid would be a nice addition. A man needs a mirror when tying his tie, among other occasions.
very nice, must of been fun.
Nice job. Alex Negron told me about your channel.
Thank you for the movie.Do you plan to invite Matthew Wolfe from Doucette and Wolfe furniture ? It would be really amazing :)
Wow,mots about time Brusso includes a steel screw. Good on Brusso!
Nice
My son was watching this with me. His only comment was "What is a DVD"....
What is the kerf on the bandsaw blade? Do you opt for a thicker blade to made the operation of cutting the shim easier?
I have a quick question. Are those hinges strong enough to hold the top up or does it swing all the way open. I am assuming that it only opens so far. If you have hinges that only open so far how would you support such a big lid?
Side note: Love the video! I am trying woodworking for myself :)
Geesh.. how many tools do you own!?!? LOL.... I lost count of the number somewhere around the 5 minute mark!
Marc... why the use of loose tenons for the breadboard ends instead of cutting a tenon on the actual boards? Is there a structural reason or just easier? Great looking box. I may have to make one.
Thanks Jorge. Really it's just for simplicity. You have to cut a groove in the breadboard anyway so it's pretty easy to cut the groove in the top. Then you can cut the tenons/splines from scrap stock. In the end, the result is pretty much the same. Just a matter of how you choose to get there.
nice vid
How did you use french cleats to design the handle ? I've been trying to make one but apparently I'm not as advanced as you are with them.
When wood workers visit each other with plans on building something, how much of their own tools do they bring? Generally I hate using other peoples tools when working but do most wood workers have high enough standards that they don't mind working in another's shop?
Hey what brand chisels were used in this video? Thanks
It's in POPULAR WOODWORKING issue 190.
Would love to know how you made that crosscut sled
Hi Marc. I really enjoyed your video on Gary Rogowski’s jewelry box. However I cannot find the plans and cut list you mentioned on your web site. Please help me. Thank you and God bless you.
Not sure how to help you find it. Links and the list are in the description here on UA-cam as well as on our website.
gotta remember the finish trick with the sanding pad. does it work with varnishes in general?
Yup, if you have it thinned for wiping it should work with any oil-based varnish.
+David Sili It should. Though I'm not sure if the wax content will gum up the grit making it less effective.
Gary said is not the best of doing it.
I mean the breadboard of The lid.
What is the best way?
What is the handle for? Neither for carrying and nor for opening... for looking nice? That's arguable.
how would 3/8 box joints look on a box like that one
Ow... you are so generous .... you let him use your tools .....
Very nice! One question. Can you explain to me better how you do bread boxing and the purpose?
The purpose (aside from aethetics) is that it keeps a wide piece of wood from cupping over time.
I think a brass lid restraint might have been prudent.
What are those small brass mallets
interesting technique using the paper.
i see youve got a few more grey hairs there Marc... ;)
My brother and me made this box, for a gun and coins I have. I’m just finishing it.
So simple and serene. So elegant. So yummy! It's Nicole's?
NJ Guys Rock...Just sayin ! LOL
1:48 ain't that the truth
14:17 bro why you have same saw ? Seems like LieNielsen
I realize a box for 2 telephones of wall with a very similar technology, but your is nicer, a sorrow not to have seen it before. (Photo will order you).
Regards Marc
could you use a bow tie spline to join the breadboard top?
+Rush Fitzwater you could but it would be pretty fragile on parts this small.
thanks
hi
"Actually only half italian.." ahahaha greetings from Rome
That handle bothers me; you're going to open the lid by the edge, not the center, and you can't pick the box up by it. There's gotta be some way of decorating the box without adding something that looks like it has no purpose.
It looks like something designed to hang your coat on, but obviously you can't because it's not on top of a stand or chair back. In other words it does look like it has a practical purpose, it just fails to actually be practical.
Instead of the handle, you could always decorate the top with an inlay, perhaps something representational like a leaf, or a geometric design, or simply a contrasting wood grain like zebra wood. Initials of the owner are always nice. If the top is made of burl maple, the grain is enough decoration. Given the bevels on the finger joints, it might be especially nice on this piece to make the top of beveled boards so that the finished piece has grooves delineating each board.
All of these folks that make these you tube videos go through a lot of work to do so and I hate to be critical and most of the time I take what is of interest to me or something that I have learned from the vid away with me with gratitude and appreciation. I do appreciate this vid. The box is absolutely beautiful and nicely built. Cudos to all. But, since you brought it up, I would agree with you. The box is so beautiful in itself. Adding this truly oversized "handle"? destroys the box. Rather than a box with a handle....It has become a monstrous handle with oh yeah a box?
Why is he using pieces of woods to create a tenon joint?
So the wood will move in season and that's why he only added glue to the centre ones.
You let him wear his own t-shirt too. *cough* Tommy Mac *cough*
LOL!
GT
So that's why your name is Spagnuolo and you like pizza.
*mind blown*
Para los que no hablamos inglés es molesto tanta locución. Agregué pequeños títulos y suponga que tiene apenas 200 palabras para presentar el video.
Great video. Really love the box. Good job!
Beautiful
