Project Information

This was built as a 25th anniversary gift.

The frame and cabinet are made from maple with some very nice lacey appearance. The back is simply 3/4" Luan plywood. I included many antique brass hooks to be placed where she wanted to accommodate the different jewelry. I am still a novice but glad to report that each project finished better than the last…...so far..

thanks for looking, have a great day

Love it! I've never seen a miiror open like that. It could almost use a smaller mirror on the inside so she could put her jewlery on without shutting the door. Nice use of pocket screws for strength. I bet that thing weighs a ton!

A very nice design of a full mirror with a provision to keep jewlery inside. Tom's suggestion of including a small mirror inside is worth noting.

Nice mirror and case. I would just hope that no one flips it upside down to see the other side. It would be a jewel of a mess.

Yeah. What happens when it flips? I like the idea, but that part puzzles me.

Well, Patron. If it rotates, people rotate it. Especially if they don't know it a jewelry box.

You bring up a good point on the rotation. There are dowel stops hidden within the uprights. It gives you a few degrees of motion without worry of toppling over.

I do like the idea of a smaller interior mirror.

thanks for all the feedback!!!!!

Jerry, That Jewelry cabinet looks really great. I want to build my wife one for Christmas, yours is the best one I have found. I am a beginner with a very basic tool set and even more basic skills, do you have any advice for me?

This was one of my first projects. I was such a beginner. I didn't even have a plan, just started cutting and gluing. Didn't really think it would turn into a passion. Sorry, no step by step on that one. LOL
