Jewelry Box

Looks like a very well built box. I like that you chose to go with a locking mechanism. Great job and congrats on your marriage.

That’s a great looking box there Jon! I’ve heard those quad hinges can be a real pain. One thing I’ve done whilst installing other types of hinges is to tack em in place with a little CA glue before drilling and screwing. Granted, if you don’t get it aligned right the first time or if you have to ever have to take if apart there could be some issues, but it’s done well for me.

Really nice. Its great that you did so much of the work by hand. I really like the work that you did on the inside.

thats good work and you should be proud.
that mahogany will darken up nicely over time. will make it look even better with the curly maple.

That looks great! I’ve done quadrant hinges a couple of times, and your look better than mine.

Is the repaired dovetail on the lower right side?

Actually the lower right side has a very small patch, but the biggest repair is in the rear. If you look at the blog, you can see the big gaping hole I had to fill.
