5:26 THANK YOU! I want to experiment with box joints, but have been racking my brain trying to figure out how to cut a dado for the bottom that would not be visible from the outside. I concluded that a router table would be the only way to do it. It is surprisingly hard to find videos where they explicitly talk about this problem instead of glossing over it. Thank you for calling it out. Beautiful box and great video all around.
I've used brusso hinges on a lot of boxes, and have always fought with the screws! My latest box I stayed away from using a steel screw, and just used paste wax to lubricate the brass ones as I put them in. I went very slowly, when resistance felt high id back it out and add more wax. And I gotta say I've had the best results yet!!
A beautifully crafted jewellery box! I'm enjoying your videos immensely - fantastic designs and excellent instructions which are so helpful for a beginner woodworker like myself. Thanks so much :)
It's beautiful. Simple and elegant. I would make it but without the box joints because I would mess those up. I am wondering what would happen if the walnut top was glued instead of attached with magnets?
Beautiful box. I’m crafting my daughter a music box for Christmas and had no idea how I was going to glue the edges of the 2 bottom pieces, and saw your rubber band trick. Perfect idea that I’ll be using. Thanks for the great video!
Wood U Make It... Yes and I like what I saw. I am just starting to do small boxes which I find have their own challenges. Thanks for the nice video. Just found you on the channel so you made a Subscriber of me. John in Pensacola, Fl
A beautiful box. I would make a suggestion on brass hinge screws. I do everything that you did but I coat my brass screws with beeswax before installing. This is a great video because you explain the process. Thanks Tom Maples
Thanks, Tom. You're absolutely right. I mentioned that in my follow-on video where I explained how to remove a broken screw. The second time around I used a gimlet to properly thread the screws, and I coated the screws with wax to make sure they went in smoothly. Worked like a charm!
Very cool. Coincidentally I made a very similar box a few years back. I beveled all edges however which ended up giving the corners triangular facets which mimicked gem facets. Also, I stained the wood before beveling so the faceted edges had contrast with the faces. Anyhow, I only recently found your channel and really enjoy the eclectic designs. 👍
@@Woodumakeit Just threw together a slideshow of an older box from a few years back on my channel. It has the same stain and bevel technique. This was my first project beyond a cutting board or painted shelf back then.
This is the first video on your channel that I have seen. After watching it, I subscribed. I have made many hundreds of boxes over the years and I never once thought to mount the top in the carcass with magnets. That is really a cool idea and the result is a nice clean look. Thanks for sharing this idea. Well done!
Thanks for your comment, Jerry, and thanks for subscribing! It means a lot to me, especially coming from someone with so much experience. I'm going to start a new box tonight that will be a cremation urn. If all goes well, I should be able to post the video in a week or two.
Good build. Add extra long stop blocks on your router fence by making long adjustable ones that mount to your existing fence by clamps, screws or bolts. Then when done take them off.
Wow! This jewelry box is so lovely. I love how the top's pattern looks like a butterfly. I would be so happy to get a gift like this. Maybe I'll try to make this for myself.
Being removable served no purpose. The reason for the magnets was simply to allow for wood movement while maximizing that amount of visible walnut on the top.
Love this box. Any chance you could tell me how tall you made it. The measurement of the bottom & top half would be great. Thanks so much. Have a great Memorial Day.
The box is gorgeous! It is excellent craftsmanship. I would definitely make it. However, as a matter of personal preference, I would not use magnets on the top. True, you don’t want to glue it to allow for movement, but I would make it more permanent. I have made boxes in the past where I have used the raised panel method, just to raise the panel to be flush with the top.
Thanks for the feedback, Jerry. The magnets were a bit of a gimmick because the removable top doesn't really serve a purpose. I thought about doing a raised panel, like you suggested, but this piece of walnut was quite thin and I was worried that cutting rabbets for the raised panel could create a problem.
Wood U Make It : That is a challenge. What I do love about the magnets though is it’s out of the box thinking. I never would have considered it. So, even though I wouldn’t use it for a jewelry box, I would totally use it on say, a tea box or slide top box
I wud, I wud! Excellent video! What a beautiful jewelry box, your wife is going to love that forever. I've got gear envy there friend, you've got a great shop. Keep up the good work. I'm going to have to get one of those Incra jigs so I can start making box joints. When you put the finish on those they just really pop. Nice touch with the walnut splines too. Keep `em comin'.
Yes, I would and probably will. The only change I'll make will be using jewelry box liners that are premade. They're inexpensive and they're cover in felt. I'll have to see about finding some bird's eye maple. My WoodCraft store rarely has it. But, I have a fair amount of ambrosia and that just might make a great look.
Here's another vote for an Incra box joint video. I've made box joints with a shop-made jig but I'm unsatisfied with it and am considering purchasing the Incra jig.
First time ever seen your work. Very nice job , both video and of course the build. I appreciate your honesty and telling us your mistakes WHICH TEACHES US. Unlike the ones who hide it on video and are to proud? To show mistakes.Thanks from MR.B your newest subscriber.
Thank you for sharing your skill with us. I am inspired by your skill and the ease with which you present. Feels much like you talking to a friend. I for one would love to see a video on the Incra box joint (I just purchased one). Thanks again.
Thank you, Richard. I've had several requests to do a video on the INCRA i-Box jig, so I'll plan on making that my next video. Hopefully I can get that done in the next week or two. --Mike
I'm new to your channel this only the third video I have watched and I just wanted to say I love this jewelry box and the style you made it the box joints but then rounded over, the option for the top with magnets the re sawing off the wood just AWESOME. Keep up the great work. Can't wait to see the next video. And also it would be great to see the incra box joint jig in action.
Very nice work! You could put a little golden chain to hold the lid while it's open so it doesn't go all the way to the back maybe :) other than that, the box is awesome and I bet your wife was very happy. Keep the videos coming! :D
Jab the screws into a clear/white candle to get some wax on the threads, Broseppi. Wax is your best friend with those tiny fragile material screws on a lot of hinges. Trust it. Or also dramatically reduces splinter and cracking into a shallow screw location or close to edges on thinner cuts. 🧐👍🏼🇺🇸
Excellent work.Don't know where you live, but I have built lots of boxes and vever had a problem with glued panels. I believe the thinness of the panel is fine for shrinkage and movement
I've seen a bunch of your videos and you do some amazing work especially with this jewelry box. You should consider making things for sale. I'd buy some even though I'm slowly gradually getting into wood working.
Thanks for your comment. I have sold quite a few things at craft sales, but it's a fairly inefficient way to conduct business. I hope to set up an online shop sometime in 2018 to make it easier for people to view and purchase some of the things that I make.
Yes that is a beautiful box I would be proud of.
A very comprehensive video! I think this is the best video of the type that I’ve ever watched! I will subscribe.👍👍👍
The box attracts with its simplicity, and most importantly with its functionality. Nature has already created beauty as a texture, texture ...
Very very very very beautiful
Very nice and relatively simple. Good work.

Beautiful craftsmanship with excellent video production. Fantastic job!

Lovely use of the wood marking. Great box

Very nice project! I have enough scrap wood for this. Great job!
I WOULD make if I thought I could. Really nice.
That was a wonderful piece! Liked your video style too. Cheers!!
Thanks! Glad you watched.

Cody Pederson Using slightly moist bar soap on the screws also helps get them in n without stripping.
Nice job 👍
Beside the Great Box I like your calm and unstressful way of explaining the things You are creating. Thanks a lot! :-)
Very nice. I would love to make some of these for my nieces. Thanks for sharing!!
Beautiful. .... I shall try
She better LOVE it. It’s gorgeous.
Quality craftsmanship! Really enjoyed this video.
Thank you, Maren!
Great video - and yes, if I had the tools, I'd def make one too. Well done.
I am ot sure that I can make it, but since my granddaughter turns 12 in early March, I am going to give it a try. If only I had a few more tools!
Nice work thanks for sharing, gave me an idea.
Love your videos
one of the better boxes i have seen... and I've seen a lot. lol
Very nice! Great job
Brilliant Build, well done Mike and if your wife doesn't like it then send it my way, as my wife will love it ha ha Barry (ENG)
Ha ha...thanks, Barry. I doubt that she will let it go, but you'll be first on the list if she doesn't like it.
Beautiful box, beautiful workmanship.

LootFixPlan.xyz - Here are some great woodworking plans if you are interested.
A beautiful box! Thank you. I am not understanding the reason for the removable top piece with magnets? Why removable?
Being removable served no purpose. The reason for the magnets was simply to allow for wood movement while maximizing that amount of visible walnut on the top.
Thank you for making this video! I will add this to my projects list!
Yes I would make it it's a gorgeous box, your wife should be feel well LOVED!

Very nice jewelry box! I love magnets, I use them in lots of my projects so I was excited to see a design that utilizes them. Oh, and I'd make it!

Wood U Make a three dimetial carved pict
Yes I would make it but this project is above my skill level & I only have a few tools. But if not for that I'd love to make this project!
yes i love it
Un bel lavoro! Complimenti.
Grazie!

really enjoyed the video, nice clear and precise. thanx, lovely box
I dig it.
Very nice work! You could put a little golden chain to hold the lid while it's open so it doesn't go all the way to the back maybe :) other than that, the box is awesome and I bet your wife was very happy. Keep the videos coming! :D
Great build. Could you have rearranged the build to cut the rabbets for the top in singular panels before you had it glued up?
Awesome job new subscriber.
Jab the screws into a clear/white candle to get some wax on the threads, Broseppi. Wax is your best friend with those tiny fragile material screws on a lot of hinges. Trust it. Or also dramatically reduces splinter and cracking into a shallow screw location or close to edges on thinner cuts. 🧐👍🏼🇺🇸
Everytime you ask WUMi, I fell so amazed to your work... And I reply to myself "No, I wouldn't." Hahahaha....
beautiful. thank you!!
Excellent work.Don't know where you live, but I have built lots of boxes and vever had a problem with glued panels. I believe the thinness of the panel is fine for shrinkage and movement

good🎉
