Poplar Box, 1st time mitering corners, and cutting for keys.

Nice job on the keys.
Not all jigs need to be beautiful,
as long as they do the job. : )

Great work !

Good job dude. I am shellac curious as I’m not a fan of polly. Your finish looks nice. And I think the “accident” of the lid is actually pretty cool. As a fellow newb I can tell you that, if you are willing, you should always post your jigs. Lumberjocks enjoy discussing jigs every bit as much as projects.

Nice work

The box looks great, but the camera lens needs cleaning. Or were you going for that seductive look?

LOL. The pics were from my IPhone which probably had fingerprints all over it from “Daddy can I play with your phone?”

Great looking keys – I have recently done my first miter keyed box, not yet finished it. Still have to cut the bad keys out and redo them !! Some of mine did not fully seat leaving a gap behind them, Live and Learn !! ;-)

Thanks for sharing.

Good box. I’m never really happy with using keys myself. I like the seductive look to the pics.

It’s a very nice piece of work.
How did you find working with poplar?
I’ve only used it once, with mixed results.

I actually like the poplar. I find it easy to work with. I only use it because I can get cutoffs from the cull cart at Home Depot. So, it was just an inexpensive way to make mistakes! But even the nice boards are affordable.

Nice job. You overcame a common newbie box maker error. Glue stain around the keys.
Nice job!
