This box is so good that, failing it being accidentally destroyed, it is sure to be cherished for hundreds of years to come - building something like that has to be incredibly worthwhile. I take my hat off to you!!
Thank you! My wife really loves it!
Outstanding!!! I am working toward building jewelry boxes like this! Currently making boxes to get the skills for these more intricate builds. Absolutely gorgeous! I am sure your wife loved it and will treasure it always! Thank you for a great video!
Thanks! Yes, she absolutely loves it! Good luck and enjoy building one yourself!
Awesome project and impeccable work! Lots of detail and you nailed it
Thank you!
Thanks!
Thank you! I really appreciate it and glad you are enjoying the videos!
That grain is unreal. Great work!
Thank you!
Man, that is some beautiful work, thanks for sharing this, I really enjoyed.
Thank you very much!
Excellent job. Lots of great ideas in this video
Thanks!
Absolutely amazing woodwork! Thank you so much!!
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
I looks amazing you should have put a mirror insert on the top when you open it she could look into the mirror but it's amazing anyway
I thought about it, but the wife said she didn’t want the mirror on the lid since the jewelry box is sitting next to a mirror.
Loved the video, finished project looks GREAT.
Thank you!
Wow! I'm speechless. Very inspiring
Glad you enjoyed it!
Absolutely awesome
Thank you!
Absolutely beautiful!!!
Thank you so much!
Great piece of art!
Thanks!
Awesome work man!
Thank you!
I will now be using "pucker point" in my day to day. Hahaha! that was great, amazing project.
🤣🤣🤣Glad you enjoyed the build!
Amazing work!
Thank you!
That looks Great! Nice Job!
Thanks!
Great work man, this is also on my to do list!
Thanks!
This is a perfect and excellent job. Thank for sharing.
Thank you very much!
This was beautiful
Thank you!
I am in awe of the patience, skill and care that you put into this. A beautiful piece and I have watched your video several times already. Despite feeling a little apprehensive about making it, I have purchased the plans and am ready to learn. I want to give my 7 year old daughter something to treasure forever. I settled on a jewelry box a long time ago, and have watched many, many videos. I kept coming back to this one though, so off we go. It may take a while but I will get it done. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you! This was a really fun and challenging project! I'm sure you'll do great!
Beautiful
Thanks!
Excellent result and sticky video. Thanks!
Thank you!
THANKS FOR THE VIDEO
Glad you enjoyed it!
So glad to see someone care about what they make. Your wife will be so pleased with this beautiful jewelry box.
Thank you!
Nice clean work.
Thank you!
Great work! Great detail!! Great video!!! Great patience!!!! Great reason!!!!! Great everything, from start to finish!!!!!!
I'm lost on the lack of views & subscribers to your channel, TBH. I subbed before watching a 2nd video. That's how impressed I was from the 1st. I eventually got through 90% of your videos & they were all worth every minute. You deserve so many more subscribers, 💯!
Keep pushing & doing what you do! In God's time, it will become yours with great success 🙌! Looking forward to any & all upcoming content 👏!
Thank you! I’m still trying to figure out YT, but learning more with each video!
Awesome work...beautiful piece.
Thank you!
Very nice project and a beautiful finish. But, I'm saving my biggest accolades for you videography and editing; absolutely perfectly done. Great lighting, mostly ASMR with text inserts and background music perfectly matched. You nailed it.
Wow, thank you!
Very nice!
Thanks!
Seeing people with so much talent, patience, and attention to detail is so inspiring to me in my WW journey. Beautiful!
Thank you!
Exceptional! The most beautiful out of all I have watched!!!
Thank you!
Awesome job
Thanks!
Beautiful! I know she loved it.
Thanks, she certainly does!
Glitzy wood,I should imagine all ladies would like one ,3 days on the dove tails that's labour of love accurate use of tools nice to watch.
Thank you!
Really well done sir.
Thank you!
Damn. That’s nice.
Thanks!
Very nice and job well done
Thank you!
nice! happy i found your channel:)
Welcome!
Wow, that is spectacular! Great job! Thanks for sharing such great content. I am learning a lot from you.
Happy to hear that!
Nice work, built 2 of them myself. The curve on the faux front was the scariest for me.
Oh yes! You don't want to mess up at that point!
The extended warranty solicition works so much better than the Rick Roll I was expecting. Great work!
Thanks! I couldn’t help myself, I had to throw a joke in there!
Very nice great craftsmanship beautiful awesome
Thank you!
انت حقا مبدع . وذكي وفنان . استمتعت بمشاهدة ما تصنع . انها حقا تحفة فنية ❤
Thank you!
I just came across your TH-cam page when looking for ideas to show my students how to do things the correct way, I think I hit the jackpot as your work is impeccable. I'll definitely be going through your back catalogue, cheers.
Thank you! I try to show the best methods I know to produce the best results. If there is a topic or technique you’d like me to cover please let me know!
@@biscuittreewoodworks that's really appreciated, I'm an electrician teaching Woodwork, I have them doing small boxes at the moment, 7 are doing finger joints and 1 doing dovetail joints. I really have to make time to go through more of your back catalogue. Thanks for everything.
When I first saw the heading of the video I though "Really! another jewellery box". No, that was good. It was a good mix of traditional and modern cabinet making, nice design and a high level of skill demonstrated. There are some ideas in there that I will store away. Thank you
Thanks and I'm glad you decided to watch! I enjoy using a mix of power tools and hand tools in my woodworking.
Looks very nice - I personally would have used different wood, BUT that's just me and it's not mine - Hope the wife loved it.
She absolutely loves it!
Which wood would you have used?
@nonplayablecharacter4815 , besides the standard woods( cherry, walnut ), it might look good in a Canarywood, African Rosewood or Shedua might be nice.
@@michaelhyland9216 I just googled them cuz I didn’t know what they look like. Seems like you prefer a more subtle look?
@nonplayablecharacter4815 , yes, kinda like that more traditional look. Love the older antique stuff.
Amazing result. Have this on the to do list as well. Any issues with the flocking over time? Something about that gives me trust issues ha, don’t trust it to hold.
I’ve never had an issue with it coming off, it can get worn down if you are aggressive with it over time. Biggest thing to know is use a lot more of the adhesive and flocking than you think you need!
Es precioso. No obstante, yo le añadiría un espejito.
Thank you! I considered a mirror but my wife said she wouldn’t use it since there is a large mirror behind where she keeps the jewelry box.
Extraordinary craftsmanship!!
I'm curious where you got the hinges?
Thanks! The hinges come from Brusso Hardware, brusso.com. They make excellent hardware. It's a bit pricy, but very high quality.
Amazing video. I see this and gain so much influence to do the same. I tried to find the plans on the listed website but I was sent to an error page. Regardless, your work is beautiful. I hope to earn half of your talent. Thank you!
The link to the website should work now. Lots of great plans available. Hope you enjoy!
nice nice nice
Thanks!
Halfway through and loving the video! Seemingly unrelated question though, how were you able to connect your Dewalt orbital sander to your dust collection? Could you share what shop vac/dust extractor you’re using and what connector/hoses? Been needing a new sander and was decided on that Dewalt until I got stuck on how to get it set up to a vacuum.
It’s a shop vac with an Oneida Dust Deputy connected to it. I’m using a Rockler Dust Right hose and Rockler FlexiPort Click-Connect kit. You can see the shop vac setup in my shop tour video if you’re interested.
Some presentations are like meditations with beautiful outcomes
Any particular reason for epoxy for sliding dovetails?
Yes, regular wood glue has water in it. This causes the wood to swell a little. If I used regular wood glue, I might not be able to get the sliding dovetails seated fully before the glue swelled up the wood enough to seize up the joint. Someone in a forum the other day had that happen to them on a similar project. He used regular wood glue and the sliding dovetail seized on him halfway and he couldn't get it to move further or take it apart! He had to scrap his project. Anytime I have a tight joint, sliding dovetail, or need a long working time, I use epoxy.
@@biscuittreewoodworks thank you for sharing 👍🙏
Gorgeous. But I fear your wife will say her current jewelry isn’t nice enough to put in it so you’ll have to go buy her more jewelry! 😜
I can confirm that conversation has already taken place!
wow, great looking piece and craftsmanship! Which type of wood did you use, figured maple and cherry?
Yes, it’s curly maple and cherry. Thanks!
Wow!! Beautiful!! Wondering how long this took you to do? (Not to be hunk about lol-actually do)
Can't remember for sure, but I have at least a couple hundred hours in it. Just cutting the dovetails for all the drawers took several weekends.
an off subject question, Do you like your Bosch milter saw? Would you buy it again? Any pro's and con's you'd share?
Yes, I like it much better than the Dewalt saw I had. It's not something I would use when I need to be extremely accurate. I mostly use it for chopping down lumber to manageable size before the final dimensioning at the table saw.
I have the DeWalt currently. I don’t like it sitting against the wall in the middle of the floor 😂. Space is precious. I also agree that a fine tuned crosscut sled is much better than a miter saw cut. Thank you for your wisdom and time!
Why the epoxy for the sliding dovetail?
Normal wood glue has water in it which will cause the wood to swell and can bind up a sliding dovetail before it's fully seated. Epoxy doesn't have this problem. So whenever I am worried about the joint swelling and binding during glue up I'll use epoxy.
19th Aniversery 🤣🤣🤣. Im the same way.
👍😁
Great video, looks like a future project for me, to try my hand at making. If you were commission to do one of these, what would be the cost? I am thinking a few hundred.
Thanks! I really enjoyed building it and my wife loves it!
As for what I would charge: the figured maple is over $150 itself, I bought it a couple years ago so I’m sure it’s even more for something with that much figure. The hinges cost about $200 for premium Brusso hardware. By the time I add the other materials and lots of labor, I wouldn’t consider building one for less than about $2000.
I like Rubio also. I have some of their ruby stain for bubinga. Can’t wait to use it.
Did you use one stain for everything? What was it?
More questions.
Do you have the plans available?
What wood did you use?
Paul
I didn't use any stain on this project. Only the Rubio. I used cherry and curly maple. A link to the plans are in the video description.
Oh. What was the Rubio you put on? Some sort of 2k finish.
@@paulmanhart4481 Rubio Monocoat, it’s a two part hard wax oil.
Gran trabajo. He intentado ver los planos, sin exito.
¿Estan disponibles? Gracias
I don't own the plans, but they are available. Follow the link in the description to the original creator, Marc Spagnolo, aka The Wood Whisperer. He has plans on his website.
What kind of router table do you have?
Good work.
It’s a basic Rockler stand and router table that I upgraded myself. I have a video on my channel showing how I did it if you’re interested.
@biscuittreewoodworks What's the model of the router you are using? I bought the Dewalt D26204K-QS which was delivered yesterday. It looks similar to the one you are using. I haven't used mine yet but it looks like a very capable machine.
The Dewalt handheld router is the DWP611.
@@biscuittreewoodworks Are you happy with yours or is it one of you buys you regretted?
@@JoaoAlvesCarlos I’m pretty happy with it. I heard from some other woodworkers that it was a good buy and so far I agree. I think the jewelry box was the first project I used it on.
@@biscuittreewoodworks Thanks for the information. I am glad that you like because I purchased more or less the same model. The one I have seems to be the european corresponding model to the DWP611PK in the US.
Very nice jewellery box by the way. Congratulations!
Would you be able to just show the overall dim's?
It’s about 14” tall, 8” deep, and 11” wide.
Was just curious, what is the dimensions of the jewelry box?
14 inches tall and about 11 inches wide.
So are you Timber Biscuit’s step brother or something? It’s weird.
HaHa, no relation other than we both love a good biscuit!
@@biscuittreewoodworks yeah I mean, dad jokes, woodworking, the name. One might even say you’re trying to steal his identity. I mean it’s the same as if I called my channel the whisperer of wood or eyes four furniture. It’s just weird.
@@AndyLee-rc8wx Well, my YT channel is fairly new, but my wood working business has been called Biscuit Tree Woodworks since 2013. The name comes from something my father said before he died from cancer. So, weird or not, I'm not changing the name.
@@biscuittreewoodworks while I’m sorry for your loss. I still think it creates a lot of confusion.
I'm sure she loves it but I've found that most women just don't understand wood figure, they're say ew what's wrong with it or it looks funny.
I think that's true for most anyone who hasn't been exposed to wood figure or something other than stained pine before. People have different tastes as well. Some people like exotic wood and heavy figure while others like the look of construction lumber with some paint and gel stain slapped on it. Nothing wrong with either one if you like the final result.
Should have been a brain surgeon, dude. I've outgrown your attention to detail. Thanks.
👍
...same crap noise for 25 minutes... pity
🤷🏻♂️
@@biscuittreewoodworks truly, its better to have no background noise than noise that assults the ears and brain of potential rave reviews. I doubt seriously that Im the only person that feels this way... Please..dont spoil your otherwise great content.
BTW.. by noise, I mean your music. The sound of saws, routers, hammers, drills etc is absolutely fine. 👍
Dude...did your dog die? Did they repo your pickup? This is hardly constructive criticism. Wow!!@@violettownmicroenterprises1528
@@biscuittreewoodworks I too like to focus on trivial nonsense and make everything about me. I think you should get rid of the noise pollution of the tools and just crank the music.
