Jewelry Box for a Super Hero - Box Making How-To with Step by Step Build Plans

Support What We Do at The Katz-Moses Store lddy.no/stih
In today’s woodworking build we’re making a White Oak and Wenge Jewelry Box. Boxes are a right of passage for woodworkers. Due to the low cost of materials, they’re phenomenal projects to practice some high level skills while the stakes are low. They make fantastic gifts and the creative possibilities are endless. I walk you through grain wrapping to make it look like one continuous board, fitting/making trays, adding felt, and getting a high quality smooth finish with grain filler, shellac, lacquer and wax. The lid design is inspired by Matt Kenney @mekwoodworks who is the reason I got into woodworking years ago. Let me know what you’d like to see next. Thanks for watching! Please like, comment and subscribe. Cheers!

Great book for a beginner . kzbin.infoUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ this book really starts from the beginning, as in it explains what basic tools are and how to use them. But when it gets to the art of creating joints and how and when to use them this book really starts to teach you something. At least that was my experience.

[@Dinie09]

Always a good day when Katz-Moses releases a video

[@chriswindberg5010]

Came to the comments to say the same exact thing.

[@user-gd1zq8ly2u]

I am very thankful for the kzbin.infoUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO that has been a tremendous help to me in building a perfect outdoor shed. I have been facing many challenges and difficulties for a long time, but this plan has guided me to correct the mistakes during the process. I am impressed by the projects and I express my gratitude to the creator of this collection of plans.

[@timdoyon1964]

Jonathan, Jonathan, Jonathan! You never cease to amaze me… dude, your workmanship is over-the-top incredible! That box is absolutely gorgeous! I’m just starting to make six memory boxes for my children and my two best friends. They include a voice box and mini urn, (I have a terminal illness), so they can keep photos, letters, a share of my ashes, and I am recording messages for each one of them so they can hear my voice whenever they want to. I always try to do my best work, but you just inspired me to take it up to a whole new level. I’ve followed you for quite some time now, and always appreciate your teachings. The only thing I’m not sure about is how to wrap the thread so it never unravels, but Google is my friend, and I shall look it up, (I just love the handles). Thank you as always! - signed Tim, (a fellow woodworker, and friend you’ve never met). ☮️❤️

Man, that feeling of pride in a project is such a high. It was great seeing you experience it. I'm brainstorming some trays that I think I'd like to build so that part was helpful for me personally, but I always enjoy your videos. Keep it up!

Absolutely beautiful work.

[@philgoulding5219]

Absolutely gorgeous outcome on this custom masterpiece Jonathan! I couldn’t agree more on box making that it is truly a rite of passage. Your videos and training techniques are unmatched.. Thanks for keeping us long time woodworkers on our toes never being too old to learn a new process or technique. Many thanks and keep up the great work!

[@sgsax]

Beautiful little box here. Love how you did the end to end grain matching. I love white oak, even though a lot of people seem to prefer maple. And the contrast with the wenge is just perfect. I definitely need to start making some boxes. Thanks for the inspiration!

Really nice box Jonathan! I love the bottom raised panel with the chamfer. It adds a ton of character and complements the handle and top.

[@JamesWilliams-en3os]

Great looking box, J! I’m setting up to make some jewelry boxes for my daughters for Christmas, and I got some good ideas from this video. The continuous-grain wrap by using book-matched wood looks really, really cool... I was planning on dovetail joinery, but these splined meters look so good I am going to try it for at least one box. BTW, the “trick” of closing a miter gap with your burnishing tool is awesome! Thanks for the great content, again.

[@morganhurst_redridge]

Thanks for throwing in that part about pricing, I've been making boxes for a little while now and I keep getting told that if I want to sell them they need to be under $100, but they also still need to be made from walnut with nice brass hardware...

[@JasonPeltier]

People think HomeGoods is quality. They don't understand what it takes to make a box like this, in time, materials, and skill.

[@lesbodwell8739]

I have made a fair amount of custom humidors over the years. It's hard to compete with china but in the end people who can afford custom appreciate the quality. Fortunately most of my humidors have been gifts or for charity events so making a profit wasn't the goal.

[@junction_woodworks]

I routinely make boxes for a specific purpose and sell them between 65-115$/box dependent on wood choice. If you can target an audience you can make good money on small boxes. Boxes that are built to be cute without an intended purpose are where it becomes a harder sell.

Intended as a compliment: I love the mix of woodworking knowledge and montage that makes it feel kind of like a training montage from one of the Rocky movies. You just need to add a voice-over of Devito grumbling perplexing one-liners many to inspire you to cut cleaner in the style of a fight trainer.
