Scrapwood. It’s something woodworkers accumulate as a natural part of the woodworking process. Even though the pieces are hard to incorporate into larger projects, there’s still a LOT of value in them and it’s a good idea to come up with small projects that can make good use of the stuff. That’s exactly what I had in mind when I created these small elegant jewelry boxes. And while the project appears simple, you’ll see that it does require attention to detail and precision. Even small projects deserve your best effort! So let’s dig in!

Once again you prove to have the most superior scrapwood pile in the universe...

[@jessetitus9908]

That baby is very Mark looking. Love the build. Doing these for the many ladies in my family for Christmas. Thank you for free plans

[@billkelly4772]

Thanks Marc, Since watching this 2 years ago,, I have made about two dozen of these from various pieces of scrap wood. They sell out quickly at a Christmas fair to support a school for autistic children a not-for-profit elder care community. These beauties go for between $40 and $60 depending upon the wood. My favorites are made of beautiful bubinga with maple sides. I’m about to make a dozen more for this year’s fair.

[@patriotwoodworker6092]

Lol, scrap wood you say? To me, that’s my someday wood! Someday I’ll use that for something. I gotta make these! Very nice video

[@williamclark9743]

I'm a huge fan and though my response is YEARS after you posted this video, not only is the content awesome, but the sponsor of this video and your support of them is pretty awesome too.

[@stevem268]

older video, but still useful! a comment regarding the barrel hinges though. i've used them for years, if you drill the holes with a 5 mm brad point, they are a snug pushin fit and i have never glued them in! Lee Valley has a 5mm brad point and its perfect for the hinges

[@alir4864]

If anybody have that many tools to just make a wooden box, he/she never needs a video like this. it simply learned these methods way back during tool acquiring. by the way nice boxes.

[@allenwhittenbury5800]

I'm glad you call them shop cut offs because some of these "scrap wood" videos have scrap wood that's better than I can buy at a hardwood dealer

[@race9359]

You old flocker, you! Seriously funny, entertaining but most of all educational! As usual, well done, Mark.

[@cantworkitout]

i saw this video about a month or 2 ago and decided to make one as a gift to a friend since I Have a bunch of spare wood around from building guitars. My table saw was busted so I had to improvise with a router for some of it, but it turned out really good. I used some european ash for the box with brazillian mahogany for the sides. Love the website with all the plans on it for easy reference instead of having to rewatch the video a thousand times over to see what you did and get the measurements 😅

[@craftedworkshop]

I smell some Christmas gifts! I've got tons of scraps and plenty of flocking material left. I like the look more than bandsaw boxes too. Dig it!

[@ajhubbell3754]

Your shop is disgustingly clean. I’m jealous.

[@MrKingtiny]

I love the tip with spraying the lacquer for the final coat to smooth everything out. I can't wait to try that. Thanks Mark. Well Done as always...

[@woodwhisperer]

Thanks John!

[@ahpguinness]

As Mark demonstrated that technique my face fell into my palms. Why does simplicity sometimes seem so elusive?

[@greglauderdale7595]

After watching this video, and making my own maple and walnut jewelry box a few weeks ago, I have come to the realization that I am a fan of walnut. There, I said it. I like walnut. That is all.

[@erichaltomwoodworking7363]

That's a great project, love it. Thanks Marc!

[@MikeWaldt]

Beautiful boxes all Marc, a great video showing your methods. Cheers Mike

[@g_young_h]

Great work! Love watching your videos and plan on getting my tools setup in the next month or so. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@Shaka_Vibe]

Love them! Great project. Thanks Marc.

[@420Heretic]

The fresh pepper and gratzy comment had me laughing. Cool video. Will build one for my niece for her birthday.

[@strakap]

Thanks for the great content on the free site!

[@WayneBrownWoodworking]

Beautiful boxes. Thanks Marc!

[@jcmakes5977]

Great project! Thank you for sharing and for the plans

[@tompritch56]

Great project Marc. Will give that a try.

[@cemturhal]

This is fantastic, thank you for putting this together and the step by step walk-through!

[@DavidStanton]

These look great Marc, very impressed!

[@Masterof1ne]

I love how people have different definitions of "scrap wood"

[@woodwhisperer]

Guess it depends on the scale you usually work in. My scraps are a turner's or scroller's rough lumber. :)

[@TimTrOn3000]

Hella nice scraps, bro :)

[@TwoHeadedDog]

So nice to see a new video, top quality as always! Thanks for shearing! :)

[@Alyn4220]

This Is such a fun easy project! thank you for the plans!

[@ToolMetrix]

Very nice project, Marc! Love those hinges.

[@patrickdunn8918]

Beautiful boxes.

[@casperscuts2627]

Loved the boxes, thanks!

[@mmgross144]

Thanks for another great video full of inspiration and education! I have enjoyed your videos for years.

[@thehalloweeniesemporium580]

Beautiful work!

[@GuysShop]

Very cool Mark. I am making a lot of boxes out of scrap wood lately too. The only downside to that is I am saving way too many scraps now! :)

[@bm3823]

Love your box making video. Thanks for sharing. I will definitely make one or two.

[@kevincostelloe4463]

Beautiful job! 👍

[@kevincostelloe4463]

Absolutely beautiful!!

[@JackbenchWoodworking]

I love these boxes, Marc. And, thanks for the tip about lacquer thinner, I'm going to have to try that!

[@benjaminsantiago7802]

Really love these!

[@enzevaee]

9:08 the cute baby’s yawn while Marc’s talking is priceless 😂

[@BuiltbyBill1]

Good looking boxes! I think I'll make a couple of them. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@cplcombat]

It's amazing how much I learned from such a simple box. Thanks Marc

[@HovingtonInstruments]

Very nice boxes, you're right they would make great gift ideas! Thanks for sharing!

[@JakeandEmmysDadWorkshop]

Great project Marc and fantastic video. I love your style. Also, that episode of SNL with Kirstey Alley was top 5 in my books!

[@kylerunyan5950]

I th9ink one of the best videos I have seen on this type of project. VERY well done and BEAUTIFUL pieces!

[@NeilvanGeffen]

Those look really good!

[@AndrewKleinWW]

Nice project, and great video, really enjoyed it.

[@JimSollows]

This design also works really well for pen presentation boxes. They are made exactly the same just smaller. Thanks for the video Marc!

[@johnmay3266]

nicely done Marc. really enjoy your site.

[@PapaJoeWalsh]

Excellent video with some great ideas for box design. I'm trying to make plenty of boxes to build up my woodworking skills, so this is perfect - although I will need to modify the design further for use with hand-tools only, apart from a drop saw. Thanks for posting!

[@ghosthammer686]

Great video and beautiful work

[@FranksDIY]

I'm making boxes for my nieces for Xmas. Great tutorial

[@raymondnaterperez8726]

Beautiful boxes. I like it.

[@DjmMik]

Those boxes were beautifully done! Great video with each step clearly explained.

[@Mienecus]

Very inspiring Video! Thanks for sharing.

[@indonesiakreatifchannel01]

Wow! You're incredibly inspiring. Love it. Thank you.

[@miguelfermin237]

Elegant, helpful, fine finish ...

[@andrewbrown8148]

Wow, super nice looking boxes~! I'm thinking that a batch of these will be this year's Christmas project. Not sure how I missed this video from so far back, but glad that I have it bookmarked now~! Thanks Marc~!

[@bo-be-qbarbecueausderseest1663]

Beautiful! 👍👍👍

[@DoingWhatever]

Flocking awesome!

[@rottiwoodturning6184]

wow. Great job!

[@lionelgarcia8727]

Magic clever and elegant perfect job thank you

[@WilliamsGerard]

Great small scale project Marc! Something I think I can tackle even with a 2 month old and a 2 year old, in little increments. Just got a used HVLP that I will try to use for the finish too- haven't seen it used for small parts before but I'm excited to test it out!

[@homoinspirus]

This is exactly what I've been looking for as a gift for my wife. I guess I'll take your route and use your boxes as an inspiration (yeah... "copy" is probably a better word) for my next project.thx Marc :)

[@jeffhayes4845]

Great video, Great teacher.

[@SouthernGinger]

These are great Marc, thanks for sharing!

[@eugeniabarrabes5339]

*TopFineWoodworking. Com* is a fantastic website about wood working. I took various classes as well as finished a one year diploma in carpentry at a local tech college; this is much better than any book I worked out of during those lessons. It explains everything regarding woodworking as well as complements it with helpful photos.?

[@davidstanden480]

Nice work!

[@DarthRoeder]

Beautiful bedside glasses storage, too. No more knocking them on the floor!

[@jarrod-smith]

Super project. Will have to make a couple of these for gifts. I might modify the design to make a deeper box - instead of plowing out 8/4 stock (I don't have a lot of that laying around) you could just do a miter joint between the front, back and bottom to make whatever depth you want. Finished product should come out more or less the same, yeah? Thank you.

[@playersidekick]

I absolutely love how detailed your videos are thank you for being on KZbin

[@fridaherrera3691]

This woodworking book is really detailed, *TopFineWoodworking. Com* ! With the aid of this plan, I was able to use words, drawings, real images and different diagrams. It is really an informative product. I am presently making furniture together with my brother and thanks to this product, I feel like helping him is possible.?

[@McGinnsWoodShop]

I've always loved your style and strive to gain your experiences! Thanks for the great gift idea and, as always, thanks for the invaluable insight!

[@hazelblack2703]

Since I read *TopFineWoodworking. Com* , I think nothing will ever surpass it as an outstanding woodworking book. The book consists of attractive images as well as drawings and also reader-friendly text. I consider this book a "must have" since it supplies a broad range of information on just about everything working with woodworking and does it quite well.?

[@daveweigle4090]

These are so much simpler than the ones I make. Thanks for another exceptional (and instructional) video.

[@TheWoodLab]

Some cool boxes Marc! I like how the design can be varied and those hinges are cool. Using the jack plane to create the curves caught my eye as I used a similar technique some years back using a block plane to help create some gentle curves (I didn't have a jack at the time). - Jim

[@pemtax557]

Fun video and learned quite a lot from you. Thanks much for sharing ... cheers, dave

[@hectoro5144]

those boxes are awesome man! congrats!

[@utamm0001]

Thanks for shearing this video !!! very nice work ! =)

[@thomasprovencher4611]

Thanks for the video, great project idea. I have to add a word of warning to everyone, some painters tape is not rated to be on laquer and will ruin it. Shellac is also similarly vulnerable so make sure you carefully read the details on the tape and pick the right stuff!

[@maurolimaok]

Beautiful.

[@sharzanco]

Very nice work 👍🏼

[@telstraoranamall7680]

Love that you help the kids not many people do that i do here in Australia

[@jalabaluza1024]

Amazing video, thanks you so much. Greetings from Argentina

[@drikoz]

I don't work with wood, and barelly made anything with wood, but omg those tools and machinery looks like miracles, wish I could have them at my disposal so I could make some projects Nice jewelry boxes!

[@diycharger1760]

Nice and brilliant.

[@nasdrasil]

I can't remember if it was mentioned in the video, but I'll put it out here anyway. I think a good tip is also to finish the wood first before applying the flock adhesive. Once tested it on a piece of unfinished simple ply wood which soaked the adhesive right in. Result... a very unevenly flocked test piece.

[@rajeshkrtewari2543]

Very superb Excellent work Very clear narration Means over all INCREDIBLE.

[@daddysix3731]

Awesome vid! Thanks, bro...

[@ralphcurtis983]

I got some 5mm barrel hinges in the post today... they are seriously small... Those hinges you have they look waaaaay bigger than 5mm. Maybe it's the camera fooling my eyes but the difference between what I have here for 5mm and what I see in the video is huge.

[@larsof54]

Thanks Marc.

[@INDIMOLLEJO]

Great artist.Great video.Greetings from Spain.

[@green_building]

That was cool man 👍👍

[@MichaelLawing]

Thanks for this, Marc. Seems pretty accessible, even with limited tools.

[@TheGarner77]

Thanks for the inspiration

[@frabcescodantonio6054]

MINCHIA! SEI VERAMENTE BRAVO!

[@woahful4054]

thanks for the video, ill be sure to try this!

[@MDFRESCUER]

I would maybe prefer to make it wider. Great work, it's a perfect video. These things can please the eye of whole generations, that's awesome.

[@markmattson1170]

I like these boxes. I'm going to try to make some for family and friends

[@ao235]

Low angle jack plane is your new best friend I see!

[@woodwhisperer]

Well, for the last three years or so. :)

[@ao235]

+The Wood Whisperer LOL, sorry I'm only up to WT151 it might be another month until I get to 2016

[@marcosheron5941]

Muito bonita as caixas, parabéns, que trabalho magnífico.

[@johnshumake3696]

Great project. I made 5 of these for a friend for her girls. I used apple that I got from a local orchard. Exciting grain patterns in the apple.

[@Lm701]

You mean you didn't make these with the invaluable help of your soccer mom van with a truck bed? I'm impressed.
