Tea box for my nana

I like the walnut frame for the top.

Sorry i couldnt get a normal sized pic for the comparison.

Make one of each then decide. It is easier to batch out projects than to do the setups all over again. One suggestion, I would use dovetail keys on the lid instead of the miter splines. It keeps better with the dovetailed box.

do you know of any good videos on learning how to do it? I’m brand new to woodworking and only have a few hand tools.

Here is one Youtube video but there are many articles and videos available both for hand tools and power tools.

“Basic box making” is full of info to help get you started making boxes. I still go back to it from time to time for a refresher. I picked this video up from the local library, and it is what started me making boxes.

WoodTrecks has a great two part video on hand cutting dovetails PINS first approach. Give it a shot. He doesn’t fret saw waste buts chisels from two sides.
