Jewelry box

It’s been said before, the art of good woodworking is hiding, or disguising our mistakes. The box looks good.

Hi Mark;
—-what a cause for giving thanks!

Any great worker of wood knows how to turn what could have been a no-show into what is now a great-show of wood art!!!

Nice Box, sometimes a flaw in the wood tends to make the project more outstanding by adjusting it with a small change of plans.

The box is great.

I’ve found out a way to assist in the clamping process. Get some automotive Bondo which is used to repair car dents. mix it up, put some saran wrap on the molding to keep the Bondo from sticking and make it kind like a form that you can put the clamps on. It might be a cardboard dam which will give you a flat edge where the clamp need to go.

Once the bondo has hardened, it can be shaped to give you clearance on the box side and a flat side on the clamp side. Glue and clamp.

I’ve also used bondo to make curved sanding blocks that help sanding curved moulding. Use some self stick paper to stick to them and sand away.

now isn’t that just the most cleverist solution, Karson. Thanks for sharing

Thank you, Karson. I used Bondo in my younger days for car repairs, but I guess I’ll have to start thinking of using it in my woodworking, too.
