Make Miter Spline and Dovetail Key Keepsake Boxes
A couple of months ago we built a jig to make easy keepsake boxes that had mitered spline joints and dovetail key joints. In this video, we show you exactly how to make both of those styles of keepsake boxes.
With Christmas coming these boxes make a fantastic Christmas gift! And they are super easy! With the jig, you could easily make a half dozen of these in a weekend.

@Whatthensayyou 5 лет назад

If you mess up the miter can u use a round over bit on the corners to "fix" it?

@malcolmalexander5246 4 года назад

Tried to look at this video on your site, but didn't see it there. I was looking for details of the boxes.?

@bradleejones9959 3 года назад

It was very weird hearing you say, "Just a thin layer of glue, not too much."😂

@Skeggsy89 3 года назад

What angle did you have your blade at to add the design to the tops of your boxes?

@purplehelm8853 3 года назад

You inspired me to do woodworking projects with my daughter. She is always on her phone and I found it was a good way to do some bonding and talk with her. Thank you!

@KingsFineWoodworking 3 года назад

@ahmadismail2754 2 года назад

Watching Maya’s skills, I’m convinced that she’s ready to headline her own channel. The young lady is a master wood artist! You must be so proud James.

@barryirby8609 5 лет назад

I have been woodworking for over fifty years and still have 9.9 fingers. At about 24.35 Mia's hand looked awfully casual removing the offcut from the table. Just being a little more alert, I would still have 10 fingers. Be careful, after all these years I still miss that 10%. Beautiful boxes. It occurred to me you could have sculpted the bottoms you cut off to create feet at the corners. Thanks for posting.

@jayjayquest4958 2 года назад

Both pieces are absolutely beautiful! The only thing I would have done differently would have been to use piano hinges to have less brass showing, and maximize the beauty of the wood.

@paulkelly1702 6 лет назад

Those are both beautiful boxes. When I drive brass screws, I run a steel screw with the same thread first then the soft screw. The wax is a nice tip too!

@natipinheiro1896 2 года назад

congratulations on the beautiful design of the boxes.

@camillewing4507 2 года назад

It is so awesome that you are teaching your daughters how to do this. I wish I had someone to teach me when I was Mayas age. Maya rocks!!! So do you Dad!!

@sharpeguns1 5 лет назад

Yeah, Mia... Watch out She is going too have her own SHOW!!! I'M LOVING YOUR FAMILY. I took in a VETERAN To help me after my heart attack. I let him use my spare guest apartment. I have a Machine shop downstairs ans a woodshop upstairs. I'm helping with building a Miniture Golf Bridge and other accessories. He's learning. I told Him just watch the Channel on my youtube. Again Your helping me and Helping others.

@brook7ct 4 года назад

I have seen a few of your videos thus far and you do a terrific job of presenting, videoing and commenting on each step along the way. Your approach is one that I find easy to follow, along with the reasoning for the process. Your daughter is a real plus to the videos, showing that it is something females can do just as good or better than a man. I look forward to seeing more of your videos.

@mariogarcia1747 2 года назад

@howardkennedy708 5 лет назад

@tonyioannoni4951 6 лет назад

Awesome projects and awesome videos, I really love it when you talk over but your girls actually do the job, it's great when a 'problem' arises and the simple solution is decided upon, it really shows that whatever happens, you can do something simple, without restarting over, and those girls will be good at woodworking and great in life, nothing will stop them!

@KingsFineWoodworking 6 лет назад

Hi Tony. Thanks for all the kind words.

@tonyioannoni4951 6 лет назад

Hello James, most of the times it gets me in trouble, but I always say what I think, and I really mean it, I follow many channels for different reasons, but of my 2 favorites, you are number one, because I learn a lot looking at your videos, and seeing the girls doing it so easily , kicks me in the but to try new things...I also like when you give different option of tools we can use, because being a computer software analyst, you would freak out on the equipment I have, but for woodworking, I have the basics, but I might improve on that!!! Keep it on!

@indalsingh704 4 года назад

So very nicely presented and illustrated. I do admire the sequence and step by step demo and instruction. Nicely done and much appreciates. Thanks to your helpers and also appreciate the family cooperation and contribution.

@creightonwest6632 4 года назад

Great video. I love your work. A couple of alternatives: I use an L fence to trim off the dovetail keys and miter splines. It works great and is much faster than the pull saw, especially when I make multiple boxes at once. Also, I have found that hide glue acts as a lubricant for snug fitting dovetail keys and makes them easier to insert, although hide glue has a longer setting time.

@carmelpule6954 4 года назад

One cannot deny that these are two very beautiful and elegant, simply made boxes. Being born before WW2 in a country where wood and other material, including food, was very scarce and powered machines were not available, and we even had to make out own hand tools, I do feel that the manner in which the boxes were made, the method of construction is very extravagant on natural wood and nature just cannot afford it. Those boxes are built like a Masculine Centurion Army Tank meant to protect the "Keepsake" from the attacks of a diving Stuka aircraft in WW2. I would have made at least six boxes, not two, using the same amount of materials. Sometimes a delicate feminine look about a product serving a decoyed function of security protection in a home does touch the human feelings more than a look of masculine solidity when it comes to items placed in certain rooms in a family home. In these boxes, a little more feminity would have matched the keepsake contents and the delicate and gentle curves of the owner for whom the box was meant, normally a graceful woman endowed with ample femininity. 1. Cutting the miters on the sides of the box from one long plank where one miter would serve two sides would have saved a lot of wood. The bottom could have been mitered in before the sides were glued in where the bottom would not need any glue. The top could have been built out of five domed separate pieces with the same looking result but a more graceful petite enhancement. 2. An additional shallow tray with an extended lip so that the lid would fit accurately in the main box would have enhanced the craftmanship. 3. While the metal additions are good, they rob the artistic value and elegance and the emotional music those boxes radiate out and a set of wooden hinges and matching feet would have complemented the rhythm much better into a higher romantic emotional tie with that precious classy wood in the presence of an appreciative human environment. 4. Simple secret logic to lock the lid with a secret Chinese lock arrangement would have added value to the mental enjoyment of the owner of that box and put the builder on an even higher level which I do feel that the builder deserves where after all, it would certainly rank with King's Fine Woodworking.

@BADALICE 4 года назад

I like those dovetail corners. I was we wondering how am I going to make the keys. Now I know, that was great; so simple it should have been obvious. Very good. I'm very excited about christmas gifts I'll be making this year. A few boxes similar to these. I want to add secreat compartments, and possibly hidden puzzle locks. Edit, "Now we have this little purple heart square we have to find something to do with. Lol, That's why I'm making boxes for gifts. I have boxes full of beautiful scrap I just can't throw away. Great video thanks.

@allanwolfe6071 4 года назад

I like to finish sand the inside surfaces, taping off glue joints and finish the inside surface before glue up. Easier to finish. I usually prefer to use a thin plywood and veneer it, cutting a groove toward the bottom, gluing it in with the sides. Using the plywood eliminates the risk for expansion/contraction issues.

James. 1 cup liquid laundry detergent 1 cup hot water. Put your blades on a cookie sheet pour the mixture over it let sit for 30 minutes. Take out and with a small brush clean whatever is left on off then spray with an oil I use WD-40 silicone base. It works great and it's cheap and it will eat that resin and pitch right off
