Now that the shop refurbish is done it is time to get back into makin’ things. This is my first effort at making a box, in this case a jewelry box for the ‘main squeeze’s 24th anniversary.
Box is rosewood and the dividers/hinges are padoo. First attempt at making my own wooden hinges was a lot of trial and mostly error but eventually got something functional.
The hearts were originally mounted on the top but that got rejected by the boss and we came up with a side mount which is a bit different. Joints were mitered and Dowelmax’d. Finish is Minwax wipe on.
Happy Anniversary Honey.

Nice job! That interior tray mechanism looks like quite an engineering feat.

Beautiful ! That is really beautiful.
The top (box lid) is beautiful as it is now. So I think your “boss” is right.
But the 24 becomes 2 and 4.. two years or four years?..just kidding..you Douglas.
Great job!

Very nice. Maybe when I get older, I can turn out something that good.
