Make this Unique Jewelry box // Woodworking Projects that SELL!

In this video i will show you how i figured out this interesting mystery box, i saw this 1 minute video on instagram, then i knew i had to make myself one...this Jewelry box looks quite complex, but once you take it step by step, it becomes pretty easy. I will show you how to make a unique wooden box, that has a cool way to open, this is a simplified video, i have more interesting jewelry box designs.

This Jewelry box is definitely going to be a great woodworking project to sell, i am planning on selling it for R400/ $21 dollars, my local market is very low, compared to other countries. this Mystery box is quite a simple one, after you watch this video, i will make you understand step by step how to make it happen. i am planning on making a couple of improvements following this build, some with pattern plywood.
build this Jewelry box in only one day, u can bang out a couple of these jewelry boxes at once aswell, if you are planning to sell these.

Great job, excellent idea

[@shawwoodworkingdiy]

Thank you granpa! 🙏

[@hamieda_k1531]

Love this 🎉❤

[@shawwoodworkingdiy]

@@hamieda_k1531 hi there! I'm glad u love it! Will you try making one?

[@KristenDefrancesco]

I would love to see more mystery box videos

[@shawwoodworkingdiy]

Im glad u enjoyed the build, ul definitely be seeing more soon

[@Firefighter1997]

I with you on the measurement. I live in the US and I use a measuring tape and my tap has cm on it

[@shawwoodworkingdiy]

@@Firefighter1997 that's interesting...i havnt seen many US woodworkers use metric units

[@fathogwoodworking]

Great build and a really interesting design concept. 👍

[@shawwoodworkingdiy]

Thank you 👌👌... im glad u enjoyed it, give it a try... its a pretty awesome jewelry box

[@pacificcoasttrains3785]

What wood are you planning for the "real" build (not this prototype)? Also, if you're going to put in the energy to make a nice one, you may want nicer joinery than the overlapping butt joints (though that does add complexity). I could see miters with splines or dowels being pretty cool. Neat build!

[@shawwoodworkingdiy]

Planning on using higher quality plywood and maybe pine aswell, hardwood is pretty scarce here in southern Africa, not sure why... i love that suggestion, think finger joints could also look pretty cool, aswell as the mitred joints. il have pattern plywood on the top on some of the builds, which should make it pretty neat aswell... thanx for that suggestion

[@musantuli2921]

Beautiful work 👏👏.

[@shawwoodworkingdiy]

Thank you Mr Ntuli, glad u enioyed the video

[@JowynFriedman]

Sick build ......... can it have a lock of some sort 🤔 like a puzzle which has a specific pattern which unlocks it ?

[@shawwoodworkingdiy]

Hmm 🤔🤔... il look into it, see if theres anything i can come up with... like a puzzle box right?

[@JowynFriedman]

Yea ..... but with the whole switch'a'roo thing going on 🤖

[@kevinmcguire3215]

Make it better but good job. From a American who can handle the metric system.lol

[@shawwoodworkingdiy]

thanx Kevin, im definitely going to give it a better shot, now that i got the main concept of it...lol thats good to know. I tried converting to inches, but it gives akward decimals that im sure would confuse u more, since yall use the fractions mostly anyway

[@Griffinwoodworks]

When I design something, I try not to go less than 1/8” to keep it fairly simple. I’ll admit, metric WOULD be easier than imperial, but I’d need to buy all new measuring tools, and given the current state of our economy, that’s not happening right now lol. That or spend extra time converting measurements. Plus you’d have to convince the entire country to switch.

[@shawwoodworkingdiy]

Hehe thank you for your explanation... its more of a measuring tools thing, than that metric is difficult to understand....the rest of the world is starting to grasp imperial usage. due to the big influence America has on the rest of the world.

[@scratchypants1]

Imperial and using fractions compared to metric and decimals is similar to analog vs digital clocks. I find it very intuitive, for example, what is half of 3/8"? Double the denominator - 3/16. What is double 3/8"? Halve the denominator - 3/4. Dead simple - no calculator. I think a lot of metric users don't understand that Imperial measurements only use a base of 2. I can attest to this ignorance as I've read furniture assembly instructions that refer to the "3/5 inch screw" - no such thing in Imperial.

[@shawwoodworkingdiy]

Nice way of putting it, analog and digital.... i guess if u are cultured around imperial, there's nothing difficult about it, which is understandable... but lets say u watching a video in metric, what could be the tricky part? That u dont have the measuring tool in ur shop?... or the convertions from centimeters to millimeters?

[@scratchypants1]

@@shawwoodworkingdiy Measuring tools would be one element, yes. Fixed tooling is another - drill bits, saw blade kerf/dado stacks, router bits. For what it's worth, I'm from Canada - metric but with a heavy US influence. I am also Gen X, so I grew up with both and am now quite confused as a result. I understand indoor temperatures in Fahrenheit, but outside in metric. Long distances are measured in kilometers while shorter distances are in feet. The list goes on...

[@dragnmastr1]

Yes make improvements please.

[@shawwoodworkingdiy]

@@dragnmastr1 im on it 🪵🪓

[@fatbobandy9670]

Centimeters are for women and kids and them continental europeens . The grown-ups use millimeters and meters ! But we all know that the civilised world was built in feet and inches . 😄😄

[@shawwoodworkingdiy]

Haha different strokes for different folks

Can you tell us who made the original post? I can’t find it anywhere

[@shawwoodworkingdiy]

Hi there? U mean the instagram post? Or the youtube video before mine?

[@doriglenn1358]

The original instagram post- also, I want to see your other versions of this!

[@shawwoodworkingdiy]

I cant find the instagram one, i found it on pinterest tho... here's the link pin.it/LyLmWDLhT

[@doriglenn1358]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@shawwoodworkingdiy]

Id really like to know, what are the challenging things when it comes to using metric units? Besides just not having the metric measuring tools. With me, imperial is complex because of the fractions, i feel they just complicate things, yet the decimal is so simple, its like im in primary school again 😂 id love to convert for u guys, but i feel it would complicate things more for you, since it will be inches into decimals 🤷‍♂️...eg 12cm- 4.72inchs... how would u find that on ur rulers?

[@FuzzyLiger]

Easy answer, familiarity. Ether system is easy if you were raised in it. It is exactly the same with language. Metric makes more sense but here in America, I wish we had converted to metric and maybe someday we will, by the time we are in our early teens our minds have been programmed to understand roughly how much a pound is or a mile, inch, foot ect. If I tells someone go about a mile down the road they won’t need any aid but their mind will kick in around a mile to start looking for what it is. If I tell the person go about a kilometer they have no bases for understanding as we get older we get more stuck in our ways. Metric is often used in military and science so I’m not sure why we can’t just teach both for 10 to 20 years, put signs in both as they are replaced and then after that time or say in 30 years just remove all the imperial system. Though we will almost always have an endless issue with everything we have that is built off the imperial metric will clash for generations. But it’s just a better idea to switch. I’d say possibly with our road sides as well but I feel like that’s just asking way too much!

[@shawwoodworkingdiy]

@FuzzyLiger it makes a lot of sense when it comes to familiarity... I guess that is why Imperial feels tricky to me, but the more I watch american woodworkers, the less foreign it sounds.. I just keep converting in my head, as long as the fractions are up to an 1/8 ...thanx for the detailed answer. Nice getting your perspective from that side 🫡
