Making an Easy Dovetail Jewelry Box Project
ฝัง

- These dovetail jewelry box projects are perfect woodworking gifts. They take very little material, they can be made quickly, they are pretty easy to construct, but they have a huge WOW factor when you give them to people. I used figured walnut for my jewelry box. It consists of a giant sliding dovetail joint that connects the lid to the base. Inside the jewelry box is a tray lined with felt. It’s a beautiful woodworking project. If you are interested in making a quick DIY gift, give this one a shot.

do you ship for someone in south africa?
Great Video...and beautiful result. Maybe a recessed magnet might help secure the box from un-wanted sliding..
Great idea!
Love the box! Very interesting design and fairly straight forward to make if you have the right tools.
I ended up making one to go with the necklace I got for my partner as a gift and got a lot of compliments.
I made one like this a while back that timber biscuit woodworks designed
Excellent work. Definitely going to put it on my list to build. Stay awesome.
Beautiful. That wood indeed did all the talking.
i love this idea and will be making one this week, thanks so much for sharing.
Looks wicked billy really nice wee project. Just need get over my fear of using router. 🏴👍
I'm with you. They always want to eat your face off. One of my least favorite tools.
Sweet project idea!
Great idea, Billy. I may have to make a few myself.
Bill
Highly recommend it. They are a very satisfying project.
Lmao at people complaining like there's something really new, and truly unique under the sun... Anyhow, nice quick project I think I need to make happen. Thanks 👍🏾
Easy, if you have an electric planer, large band and table saw, sturdy routing table and laser cutter. I agree that is easy. So are about a million other projects with those tools
Easy... after you've got thousands into the tools 😂 Beautiful box though!
Hey there wanted to let you know i loved this video and found this while searching for inspiration for my self directed project at school made out of wood. I wanted to know if it would be okay if i could make this? If so, would you mind perhaps listing down how to make this or the measurements for each wooden cut and length, width, etc? Hopefully you see this in time so I don’t fall behind, thank you so so much :)!!
considering all that fancy gear you have, its a pretty poor fit
Excellent!!!!! I did this type of boxes in the past as a gift for different friends but no more,,,,,I know what you are doing with all this effort when I gave them out all I got was rather lacksidaisical "cool" or "that’s nice" so I quit casting pearls before swine and keep them around my home and shop and if they really like something and want to know about work and sweat and throw in words like "family heirloom" or "that is beautiful" and "I could pass it on to my kids", then I might give it to them….but for most part people don’t appreciate the skill and sweat that goes into making it, so I’m somewhat stingy about giving out projects…..but congrats on your skill set and sweat. I hope you don’t "cast pearls before swine" and give it to a person that will treasure it ok just keep it from some clown using it to hold crazy glue or greasy gun parts …….nicely done!!!!
I make boxes with a sliding lid so this dovetail project looks quite interesting ! Been awhile since my router seen any action so I'm gonna make one out of pine and see if this might be my new way to making my boxes. What a clever idea Newton !
I don't typically do sliding lid boxes so this was a fun change of pace.
👍💓!!
Adding A couple of very small with rare magnets along the edge of the lid and base could be a good idea that helps keep it closed as well
Maybe include a couple of magnets to have it "lock" into the closed position.
Seeing something “new” in woodworking is pretty rare. You just showed a new thing in such a humble way. Big respect!
Very cool. I really appreciate that!
i love the wood You used. What species is that from?
Awesome project.. thank for sharing! What I would add is small magnets at one end to keep it closed tight.
Beautifully done, great idea to batch out and give away as gifts, it's very unique aesthetic, not the same ole..same ole that I see on TH-cam, well done bro
I always like your projects. Glad I found you and I'm always looking for new videos. Keep them coming and thank you.
I’m currently working on some custom dominoes boxes. This would be great for that.
I like that idea 👍
That's crazy beautiful, Billy! Fantastic work!!! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Appreciate it. I may apply some more coats to add even more depth.
Awesome! I have tried a couple of the techniques from you channel & every time I do I feel like I upgrade a level haha
Can't wait to try this for my daughters!!
Best comment ever! You made my day 😁
Now all i need is 60k in tools 😢
Banada yaparmısın
Cool idea and (seems) pretty simple to built 👍
What about slicing the initial block in 3 parts (thin/thick/thin) for the bottom/middle/top and then breaking the middle block in 2 sides and one center part that will still hav to be hollowed before gluing back all together to make a box with maximal continuity of the woodgrain ? 😅 Pretty much more work I guess, and saw kerf will have to be dealt with, which might not be this easy... 🤔
Nothing wrong with that. If someone thinks that extra effort is worth it then I say go for it!
Great project. Mega-Wow Factor!
nice
These are amazing you could even engrave the top
I like the way you think!
💥💥💥👍
Nice looking box
Very Nice.
Thats a cool idea, simple but nice, all out of one peice, no worrying about the grain pattern.
That was the goal from the start 👍
Very, very cool!
I'm guessing I'm gonna have to make one now...
Thanks Billy for adding work to the pile! 😂
I am binge watching your box series. In the family document box, did you finish the inside? You don’t show it, but it does look similar to the outside. Is there a finish you would feel comfortable using for family historical papers?
Great series so far. New sub 😀
That is an incredible box! Wow factor is right.
You tube must read my mind i was just thinking that i want to add a sliding dovetail attachment to work bench so i can slide in a bench vise when i want it then remove and add flat surface when don’t need it. This video is perfect timing
I appreciate that you made it and videoed this for us to see. It’s a Beautiful project and I am going to definitely try to make one. ONE LOVE TO ALL!!!
That would look awesome as a pen box.
It really would be. So many options for this.
Wow great idea and cool easy project thanks for sharing.
That looks great! Also, Batman rules 😊
What a beautiful piece. Liked very much
This thing is really cool! :)
That is an AMAZING idea! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for this very creative but "simple" idea. i hope you do not mind, i may "borrow" that idea for a wedding gift that will go to my colleague who just got married... Thank you!
That's amazing! Absolutely go for it! My channel is all about sharing so I think it's great when we can inspire each other.
This is one of my favorite of your projects!
Very beautiful. 👍👍👍👍👍
Gonna make one with three chambers for my kid's competitive beyblades. Gonna be sick!
That's a cool adaptation!
Beautiful project Billy! I think this is the first time I've seen you use a dado stack. That being said, I haven't been watching you tube much for a while. Hope all is well with you and yours.
It's probably the first time I've used one all year! 😂 I typically don't, for whatever reason.
Wow that is beautiful!!!
Excellent project idea!! I may have to make a few myself…as gifts!!
They are amazing gifts. Very easy to batch out.
That's beautiful
Cool project and a nice gift for my granddaughter. Really like your channel
That's the best reason to get in the shop and make stuff.
That is sweet!
Where/how did you acquire the walnut?
I think this came from my video called Chainsaw Milling 101. I use a lot of wood I milled myself.
what was the oil you used in the finish mixture
Tung oil
Great design. One question from a newbie. What size dovetail bit did you use?
Should be in the description somewhere. I can't remember off hand.
@@NewtonMakes if it’s in the plans, that would make sense. That would make it worth the purchase of the plans if they have that detail.
Hey I admire your work, just curious, would you ever try to do a fully hand made project?
Not beginning to end in one project. But I have done every stage of the build process with hand tools.
@@NewtonMakes hey, appreciate You took the time to read me and reply! I know you're busy but You should try a fully hand project justo for fun, specially the hand plane
You have nice wood.
Why thank you
Beautiful box but not sure why he has all the hand tools on the wall behind him. His machines did all the woodworking. All he did was press "on" buttons, push, press, rub, and then wipe. Nothing like seeing a master craftsman. Thanks.
