My First Jewelry Box

Beautiful jewelry box and your first attempt! ;^)

-- Jesus is Lord!

Man, that turned out wonderful Fred. Terrific piece! Bet your wife was thrilled.

-- Better to say nothing and be thought the fool... then to speak and erase all doubt.

Very nice jewelry box! Nice and simple in its design – I’m a softy for simplicity. Well done.

Fred – Beautiful piece. Congrats.

Very classy Fred. The corners melted together perfectly.

This is a really fine job on the jewelry box Fred, inset hinges and all. Very well done as a matter of fact. Bet it made your wife happy!

Very nice Fred,
Now that you have that fancy bit you’ll have to start mass producing them.

Your first attempt? Well from the looks of it you could have been making them for some time. Very nice. I hope my first attempts at projects turn out as well.

Nice job! I’m currently making two jewelry boxes for my wife and Mom’s Mother’s Day presents. What was your source for the hinges? My local WW store has a Rockler section and the hinges I like are about $20. Seems high. Rockler does have a nice selection of self-adhesive felt and other inserts for jewelry boxes I did like however. Great job, again.

To everyone – Yes, it was my first jewelry box. I did, however, make a letter box for my daughter. My wife has not seen it yet. We have an anniversary on April 29 so she will receive it then.

Dick – Now that I have everything worked out and the jig, I could mass produce them. Oak, Cherry, Walnut, etc. Hmmmm, not too early to start on Holiday gifts.

USC Jeff – hinges at Rockler $2.49 pair. Stock #21141. I guess the USC is not University of Southern California. I asked my wife if she wanted a felt lining and she said no. BTW, I am not affiliated with nor employed by Rockler or any of their advertising agencies, suppliers or distributors.

Nice jewelry box! Excellent work, nice miters, flawless hinge installation which isn’t easy to do.
