I’ve been interested in trying this keyed splines approach recently myself. Thanks for the pics, it encourages me to get to work once my other projects are completed. :-)

Thanks guys. It has been a fun process and I have learned a lot. The main thing I learned is that I need to build an accurate shooting board with a “bird house” feature so I can sneak up on the wide miters with a plane. I used scrap/crappy 1/4” ply for the bottoms. I have some nice tan pigskin leather I plan use to line the inside of the bottoms.

Those are really interesting. Hope you post the finished product

These are turning out really well. I really like the lids as well. The first box you made out of the trim will be a great conversation piece I am sure. I like how it turned out especially. I am looking forward to the end product.
