Early this morning, around 10:30, Toddler (Todd) came over to my shop to start work on a simple jewelry box. I offer to help him make one after he shamefully asked where he could buy one :eusa_naug :eusa_naug
Well, by 7:30 this evening we had put together a basic box with a re-sawn and book matched Mahogany top panel, Lacewood sides with keyed miters and a divided tray in the bottom with a half sliding tray on top. There was a few design modifications, and one big "Oh Crap!!" :eusa_doh: but we have all our fingers , and a nice handcrafted jewelry box. The box still needs some final sanding, and the application of a finish (shellac and lacquer), but that is home work for Todd.
It was a long day, but a fun one, and I really enjoyed meeting another NCwoodworker, and new friend.
Of course Todd's wife probably won't let him come over and play any more because he was VERY late for dinner :lol: :lol:
Pics for proof :-D
And one of the inside, still needing to be velvet lined
