Maple and Walnut Jewelry Box
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 тра 2018
- For Mother's day gifts this year, I made two complimentary small boxes out of walnut and maple for my mother, and my mother in-law. I designed the boxes myself to have an asymmetrical stripe of wood extending through the entire box. The sides are joined with finger joints that I cut with my box joint jig. For more information on the jig, I have another video posted on its construction. I added some felt on the inside of the boxes and some simple hinges on the back.
This video demonstrates the build of both boxes from start to finish.

Once again it pays off to watch a video that is about a project that you might not be particularly enthusiastic about but you learn a lot about woodworking technique. Like using a Grripper for resawing, tape for hinge placement and holding and a flat blade screwdriver for a Brad setting tool that is guaranteed not to dent the workpiece after all that work. I’m 76 and never heard or thought of those solutions to better woodworking stress relief. Thanks whipper-snapper, I subbed!
Awesome, Gary! Thanks for watching, and I'm glad you learned something. Keep commenting and I'm sure I'll learn from you, too! Have a great day :)
Clean, simple and elegant - NICE!
Thanks!
Beautiful! Great work.
Wow! Sharp little boxes. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Don!
Nice work! Looking for a simple design, with elegance, for a jewelry box. I'm sure both your mother and mother in law likes your design.
I got to make one for Christmas and look what I can across!! Great job dude
Haha thanks man! It's no bike made entirely out of fuckin' bent lamination but it's something ;) Looking forward to seeing what you make!
Hey this is pretty cool. I've watched tons of box builds and always learning a new approach is great. Nice job!
Great work, greetz from Germany 🇩🇪
Your skills are well evidenced in this build...
Thanks so much Simon!

Super Cute!💐
Thanks, Pranay!
Beautiful idea and finished product! Am subscribing to this channel for sure, ingenious wood tools for the table saw - never seen anything like that!
Thank you for subscribing, welcome to the channel!
was wondering how you would go about cutting such precise, clean joints. cool to see.
Beautiful stuff. 👍👍
Thanks so much Bob! I love your law blog!
NICE...!
Nice box for a watch
So nice
Beautiful boxes! 86 the music.
Thanks Brad! Yeah I agree. All my latest videos have no music thanks to comments like yours :)
Molto bravo! Complimenti.
great work - inspiring
Thank you Dwayne I'm proud to have inspired you!
Beautiful workmanship. I especially liked the jig used for the finger joint. I'd like to see how that works.
Thanks Kelly! That jig is made by John Heisz on youtube, he has some videos about it. I bought the plans from him.
Great video! I need to start making some boxes!
Thanks for the comment, Jolien!
Interesting design. Thanks
Thanks for watching Derek!
This guy is a 5S master
💪
Not gonna lie I had a mini freak out around 03:58. Looks like you did too as you had a push stick on the next run lol. nice build
Haha thanks Dus!
I love it
Thanks oli!
Nice design.
Thank you! Cheers 3bad!
Perfect work. 😍😍
Thank you Anna! :)
Great design--- When you are setting up to attach hinges- place a small strip cut from a business card or slim cardboard to add small space so lid closes without bow if the box top and bottom are to tight... Just an Idea, as my boxes close better when there is a bit of space when adding hinges...
Do you mean slide it right behind the hinge in between the box top/bottom?
@@PawsAndKeys shim can be placed on either side of the hinge- so that it allow for some gap when you attach the hinges. If not then the lid may not close completely and bind. I found a small piece of business card held in place by masking tape works well.
Superb. 👍🏻
Thanks, Ram!
good job
Работа просто супер 👍👏
Спасибо!
فكرة جميلة جدا جدا جدا
très beau
Eccellente!
Grazie!
nice 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Very nice! Kick it up a notch and flock that box!
Great idea, John! I've never tried flocking!
Once you do it you won’t believe how easy it is and how awesome it look, use painters tape to keep the acrylic paint (flock adhesive) off of where you don’t want it then use the ketchup bottle to launch the flock!
@@johnh2o1 Tell me more about the ketchup bottle thing! I’m a big fan of box flocking (!!), but have never used anything except the Flock-It brand tube applicator. I remember being totally stressed out the first time I used this process (scared of flocking up I guess!), but it works so great that I don’t even have to think about! Simple, wide range of color choices, and quick!
Get a ketchup or mustard bottle from the grocery store, plain empty with the pointed top, trim the top like you trim a tube of caulk then fill halfway with flock then just aim and shoot it onto the freshly painted surface
@@johnh2o1 I’ve got 4 jewelry boxes to do this week, so I’ll try that! Thanks!
Awesome =)
Thanks!
You guys tick me off as to how easy you make this look. I am super impressed. Do you ever make something that ends up in the fire pit?
Haha I definitely make a lot of mistakes and have to start over frequently. It's part of the fun! You just see the good stuff make it through to the UA-cam videos :) Thanks for watching!
I love watching your older videos knowing what tools you work with now. What inspired you to investigate hand tools? You’re very good at it I must say.
Thank you Josh!! I was inspired to start using hand tools by watching Rob Cosman and Paul Sellers videos... now I am addicted!
@@dkbuilds I haven’t heard of Rob Cosman. I’ll have to look him up! Love Paul Sellers myself. It really is addicting though :) I wish I had the time to do more in my shop. I have too many farm projects!
the glue up "happened" so fast that I had to rewind the video.. twice!
Nice boxes though
:D Thanks!
Bellissime.
nice
Thanks Darin!
Turned out amazing!
Do you have a video on the finger jointing jig?
Thanks! Yes I have a video showing the building of the jig: ua-cam.com/video/zz04ln1jhvE/v-deo.html
The jig itself was designed by John Heisz and I link to his site in the video description.
Beautiful boxes! I especially like the way the contrast is obliged over the top. Did you actually calculate the needed width of the contrast inlay in the lid to compensate for cutting it off at an angel to match the widths of the vertical inlay?
Again - nice boxes - good inspiration for a gift box! Thanks!
Thanks so much Claus! I did actually calculate the needed width but in this case it was such a slight change that it didn't matter very much. If the angle of the strip across the top was much steeper, though, it would matter. For example, a 45 degree stripe should be sqrt(2) times wider than the vertical strip (1.41x wider).
Love the video! Keep it up.
How do you like the Wen Bench-top Sander? Any issues with it?
Glad you like it Parker! Very happy with the sander. Works great and the dust collection port fits right onto my shopvac hose without any adapters. I do wish the circular sanding portion were bigger, but this is the standard size for all bench top sanders so I don't think Wen is any worse. Would recommend it.
Great wood design work, and beats. DO you hav a plan for the jigs you used?
Thanks! Unfortunately no plans for jigs. I have a cross cut sled video, and Matthias wandel has plans and videos on the box joint jig (this is his design)
Hell yesS
Супер!
Спасибо!
Cool project! Curious how you made the box miter jig.
For these boxes I used finger joints with a box joint cutter designed by John Heisz (ua-cam.com/users/jpheisz), however since this video I've made the jig by Matthias Wandel (ua-cam.com/users/Matthiaswandel) which is better in my opinion.
Is there a reason you didn't make references for the lids to register into when closed?? Just design choice?
👍👏👏👏👍
:D
I liked your video, saw quite a few things I hadn't before. Liked your tool storage and how you oversized the tops to so you could mate the lines well. It did get me thinking I need to get a flat plate of glass or metal so I can sand flat surfaces though, haha another trip to the hardware store! If you read this I'm curious how do you like your box joint jig? Is that a real multipurpose jig you have there with more uses? Would you consider making a different jig? Reason I ask is I'm planning on making one soon and want to know how fancy and elaborate I should get. Thanks!
Thanks for the watch and the comment, Wesley! For a flat surface, usually the top of any table saw is going to be super flat, that's what I use. As for the box joint jig, honestly I'm not super happy with it. It is definitely a uni-tasker, it doesn't do anything besides box joints. I would recommend the following: start with a SUPER SIMPLE jig and see if it suits your needs (e.g. this one: ua-cam.com/video/AiPzFNsuN2k/v-deo.html). Then, if it turns out you love box joints, go full-crazy and build Matthias's jig, I plan to build it one day (warning: it's INTENSE) (ua-cam.com/video/LXAO7Zla44o/v-deo.html).
Awesome job. How thick are the sides?
Thanks morgjg! I don't remember exactly but I believe they are between 1/8th and 3/16ths.
Hi dkbuilds. Quick question - from about 2:00 - 2:45, how did you know you were spacing the fingers at exactly equal distances apart? Was it a feature of your jig? I couldn't make out any obvious markings on the pieces so either you had a guide or laser-measuring eyes! Thanks
Good question! I am using a special jig for box joints I built from designs by John Heisz. There’s no way I could eyeball that 🤣
@@dkbuilds great! Thanks very much, it's a beautiful project, I'm hoping I can do something similar with some leftovers I have too and this was great inspiration
Really awesome I love this. This is builtbybrady12
6:51 what kind of material is that? I've seen that in many places, including the underside of my chess pieces, but I never knew what it was.
It is felt, which is a kind of fabric :)
@@dkbuilds ah! Thanks. :)
Do you have the design posted anywhere?
Thanks for the comment! Unfortunately no I don't have the designs posted anywhere, sorry!
Have you use Minwax Wipe On? I'm thinking about trying the Arm R Seal stuff when I finally run out of the wipe on. I'm afraid to try new finishes at this point because I can get a nice one with the Minwax Clear Satin. Also, nice vid. Turned out great.
Thanks, Tim! I haven't tried Minwax Wipe On, but I really am a huge fan of Arm R Seal. However, if you've got a good thing going with Minwax Clear Satin then there's no need to fix something that isn't broken :)
How much do you charge?
😇 Only made these two, not for sale unfortunately!
easy when you have the tools!
That’s not true. But, thank you for watching!
OMG - TOO FAST!
I know, it’s like the whole thing was done in time lapse
you do not talk I do not watchJulien
Thanks for the input Julien
Boy, the music sucks
Very nice!
Very nice!
Thanks coolink!
