Awesome Hybrid Bandsaw Box - Custom Jewelry Box

I'm calling this a Hybrid Bandsaw Box, but I would like to hear your opinion about that! Golden Rasps might be the best bargain in woodworking: amzn.to/2r9tSxS Stew Mac router base for Dremel is another one of my favorites: amzn.to/2rb6ZKp

[@JayTaylorSirfishalot]

This is what I would call a super high level of hand craftsmanship box. Amazing work and every niece should be blessed to have an uncle like you sir!

[@JackbenchWoodworking]

Thank you, so much!

[@MileyonDisney]

Beautiful piece of wood, great job on the hinges and everything else. Is it a bandsaw box, a hybrid, or what? Doesn't matter - it's a beautiful piece of art. Very skillfully done. Great job!

This is an absoultely stunning box and great craftsmanship.

[@barrystraughan]

Wow! love the effort put into this beautiful box. I know you used a bandsaw to cut the pieces but don't think it fits the what people come to think of as one. But that really doesn't matter because the results show it as a beautiful piece of art and she is a blessed lady to receive it.

[@marklaub4632]

Charlie....I think this box is exquisite and represents your finest work. Bravo. Since I have actually seen this piece , I can say that that it looks even better than the photos. This box demonstrates your mastery of high risk, technical fabrication riddles as well as your artistic grasp of fluid organic shapes. I would call it a Best In Show box! Well done, Charlie cheers, Mark Laub

[@JackbenchWoodworking]

[@morganholt9979]

Your Hybrid thought is perfect. For your S shape letter, I would have cut it out of a solid piece of ash on the BS, then sanded to shape and then ebonize the wood with Carbacho bark tea, and vinegar with iron. Really a solid black and inexpensive to do. Then you could glue your maple veneer to it. Nice project and your commentary is excellent.

[@JackbenchWoodworking]

Thanks Morgan. In retrospect, I would definitely avoid laminating the divider. In fact, I am working on another box now and am cutting the divider from a solid block as you suggest. Glad you like the video!

No matter if one calls it a bandsaw box or a hybrid bandsaw box. it's definitely a beautiful box. The extra effort you had to put into it to flush mount the hinges was well worth the effort. I hope that your niece loves it.

[@JackbenchWoodworking]

Thanks David. Personally, the extra effort on the hinges was worth it, but I thought I would warn people that it's a really tedious process. And, yes she loved it!

Thanks for the heads up on the rasps! Purchased them with Prime and they are already in my hands. Good price for some pretty nice rasps.

[@JackbenchWoodworking]

Thanks Tom. I don't think there is anything else that comes close to the value of the Golden Rasps. They are not fine enough for finish work, but they are awesome for rough work. I would recommend the fine grain Dragon Rasp as the best value for fine work. It's available at StewMac, or Amazon of course!

[@leapinglemurcraftworks6426]

Charlie, that's a gorgeous piece of wood and you did it justice with this box. Looks fantastic. As to what type of box, I'd not call it a bandsaw box but what you call it does not matter - it really is beautiful

[@leeforst4841]

I came across your Facebook post about this box and I've never seen your videos. Great stuff. You explain things well, you're funny, and you provide lot of great tips. I'm going to check out other videos for sure. As far as this particular box, I would say it is hybrid-bandsaw. By they way, that chunk of maple you cut from, how much did that thing cost you!?!? I saw that and it reminded me of a huge chunk of gold!

[@JackbenchWoodworking]

Thanks Lee! I actually bought the billet about 6 years ago. Truth be told, it was supposed to be for my niece's HS graduation. She graduated college in June, but I couldn't give it to her until October. I think I originally paid about $250 for the billet, but the price of that stuff has almost doubled since then.

[@thomastieffenbacherdocsava1549]

Charlie, "When is a box not a box?" When it's a piece of Art! Looks like all those hours of education with some masters rubbed off! LOL! The touching up of the mistake is what a pro does. You did that well my friend. I'm sure you're going to want to borrow this for the show in spring as I don't know how much real time this took. And you found your own answers in making this. The bandsaw is a flexible tool and you used it well. More than a hybrid my friend it is a piece of Art! Do you plan on making more? Nice to see you excited about making something.

[@JackbenchWoodworking]

Thanks for your kind words, Tom. In fact, I told her when I gave it to her that I would want to borrow it back in April for the show. And, yes, as a matter of fact I am working on another one right now!

Thanks! I've found quilted maple at a variety of different places. Cook Woods cookwoods.com is one, and I've found some nice wood on Ebay, too. The best stuff is often classified as "Instrument Grade", but not always. Try doing a Google search for quilted maple. Best of luck!

[@sphlouge]

Great job. I think its a box made with a bandsaw , but not a bandsaw box.> I have been a furniture maker for 54 years . I love the quilted maple. Probably my favorite wood . I live in Hawaii so I have to shop all over to get it. Where did you get that bilit from? I buy all I can get my hands on. I agree that Brusso make the best hinges availble. I only use Brusso on my Projects. Again great work. Id have to charge between $1500 to $2000 for that box consideringthe Quilted maple and the labor invested for this beautiful box.

Who cares what you call it. It is beautiful. Great work and very nice instruction. I was particularly impressed with the way you disappeared that crack. The only thing missing for me was a better description of the wood you used, and how to describe it if you want to buy some. But you did mention that it's maple, so that should be hint enough I guess. Thanks for this.

[@JackbenchWoodworking]

Hi Zale, thanks for the nice comments about the jewelry box. The wood is Big Leaf Maple, sometimes it's called Western Maple. The figure in this particular piece of wood is called "Quilted". So, quilted big leaf maple. It's amazing wood and not as difficult to work with as some other highly figured woods.

Fantastic creative piece with made with superb attention to detail. Clearly not a traditional bandsaw box, much more complex. What about the three slice box challenge method?

[@JackbenchWoodworking]

Good idea, thanks!

[@johnc6440]

Beautiful box - i would call it a carved box. The figured maple was lovely. As you want through fitting the hinges i thought that ultimately the 45 degree angle you planed to stop the hinges binding would have stopped the lid opening at 90 degrees, so the stopped Brusso hinges were not strictly necessary. However, relying on those planed edges may have put too much stress on the screws

[@JackbenchWoodworking]

Thanks John. Good point about the hinge stops. I didn't anticipate that they would bind ahead of time, however, with that in mind I think I will try using regular hinges on a future project.

[@johnc6440]

Yes - worth a try with ordinary hinges. The Brusso hinges are not cheap!!!

[@willemkossen]

So beautiful! Its a box for sure... i tend to think the cutting away of the inside is the thing that makes a bandsaw box just that. So you might call this a hybrid jigsaw box. But who cares what it’s called, its one of the prettiest boxes i ever saw. How many hours of work went into making it? Your niece has a pretty special uncle!!!

[@JackbenchWoodworking]

Thank You, Willem! I can't say how many hours went into this, but it was a lot! I started by building a prototype to test the hinges and get a feel for the shape. Making templates, and learning new things as I went along really added to the time involved.

[@Michael-Makes-Stuff]

Wow! That is beautiful, Charlie! It’s fun to watch a master craftsman at work. I would say this is not a bandsaw box but I think “hybrid bandsaw box” works. Nice job, sir! 👍🏼
