    Here is the latest step in my progress. I was all ready to mount the door Sunday, but I did not like th hinges I had selected. So, off to Rockler to order some other hinges and a few other things (last day free shipping). Monday evening came around, and I had marked the wall to mount my...

    Small Jewelry Box Ideas?

    I am getting ready to try to build a small jewelry box for the LOML out of cedar. Do any of you have photos or plans for a project such as this? I think it should be about 12" wide, and four inches deep and four inches from front to back. I would like to try to put a couple of dividers in it...

    Jewelry box w/pic

    My neighbor provided me with a plan and asked me to build a jewelry box for his daughter's college graduation present. He specifically wanted me to use red oak from a tree that had grown in our neighborhood. That was not a problem since we had a red oak tree attack our garden about three years...

    Progress Report: Jewelry Armoire

    I am trying to post a few pics of my progress. My wife finally figured out what it is...:icon_scra. An online thanks to WalnutJerry, who put the tasty cedar in my mitts. I have yet to build the 6 drawers for the armoire, or make the ring rolls for one of the drawers. I have the mirror for...

    Wall Mounted Jewelry Armoire??

    LOML wants one for our 15 anniversary (April '08). I've seen a few online, but not quite what she has in mind. She wants one with enough height for necklaces (on 18" chains) do not touch the bottom of the compartment, enough ring rolls for a dozen rings, and two or three drawers for earrings...

    Need source for jewelry box trays/inserts

    I need to find a source for plastic (or wood/fiberboard), flocked jewelry box trays/inserts. They don't have to be real fancy, just flocked or covered so I can skip that part of it. I used to get them at Woodcraft but they don't have them at our local store and I can't find them on their site...

    Cherry jewelry box...WIP-Updated pics

    Well here's todays fruit of my labor. I still have to key the miters, free the top, finish the trays for the insides and then sand everything down, plus appling a finish. But I am happy with the results so far, and also realize why the guy whom I am coping the design from wants around $500 for a...

    Jewelry box sides thickness ????

    OK, I would like opinions and advice. I am planning to work on a jewelry box over the long weekend. In my penny-wise , pound foolish normal mode of operations, I am not using a plan, just a picture. This is the box style that I am shooting for. The thickness of the sides...3/4", 5/8" or...

    Jewelry Box Drawer Joinery

    I'm making a box for LOML. 5 Drawers, 5/16 or 3/8 stock (probably poplar sides) with lacewood faces. I know DaveO asked similar questions while planning the box for LOHL and I looked at his finished pics but could not tell what joinery was used. I was considering a dado on the rear and maybe...

    Jewelry Box Part II - Feedback/ideas

    I have completed the box for my oldest daughter in purpleheart with padauk top panel. I intended to route the bottom edge to form feet on the outsides but test runs showed way too much tearout on the purpleheart, even with VERY light passes. Pics are attached...I think the box looks to...well...

    Jewelry box finally finished..lots o' pics

    Well, it's almost done, I still need to give it several coats of gloss lacquer, but that won't translate well in the pictures, so here it is. This is the most difficult project I have ever made. The tolerances to make it look right are ridiculous..1/64" or less. That has lead to major...

    Jewelry box progress pics II

    Alright I thought that I would have these to post this last weekend but a few mistakes and some very slow hand chiseling work slowed me down. I finally did the veneered panels and the walnut trim pieces. I am very happy with the veneer method (re-activated PVA glue) and the results. Don't look...

    LOML jewelry box in progress

    I have planned this for a while, had the wood for several weeks, and finally with this long weekend decided to get started. My inspiration came from one of Doug Stowe's books, although it really wasn't something that you could call a plan, just overall dimentions. I still have to make the doors...
