This box is so good that, failing it being accidentally destroyed, it is sure to be cherished for hundreds of years to come - building something like that has to be incredibly worthwhile. I take my hat off to you!!
Outstanding!!! I am working toward building jewelry boxes like this! Currently making boxes to get the skills for these more intricate builds. Absolutely gorgeous! I am sure your wife loved it and will treasure it always! Thank you for a great video!
I am in awe of the patience, skill and care that you put into this. A beautiful piece and I have watched your video several times already. Despite feeling a little apprehensive about making it, I have purchased the plans and am ready to learn. I want to give my 7 year old daughter something to treasure forever. I settled on a jewelry box a long time ago, and have watched many, many videos. I kept coming back to this one though, so off we go. It may take a while but I will get it done. Thank you for sharing.
great work and very satisfying to watch! That glue is pretty good, the guys installing stairs on our jobs kept leaving full bottles behind and ive been enjoying the free supply
Very nice project and a beautiful finish. But, I'm saving my biggest accolades for you videography and editing; absolutely perfectly done. Great lighting, mostly ASMR with text inserts and background music perfectly matched. You nailed it.
I just came across your RU-vid page when looking for ideas to show my students how to do things the correct way, I think I hit the jackpot as your work is impeccable. I'll definitely be going through your back catalogue, cheers.
Thank you! I try to show the best methods I know to produce the best results. If there is a topic or technique you’d like me to cover please let me know!
@@biscuittreewoodworks that's really appreciated, I'm an electrician teaching Woodwork, I have them doing small boxes at the moment, 7 are doing finger joints and 1 doing dovetail joints. I really have to make time to go through more of your back catalogue. Thanks for everything.
When I first saw the heading of the video I though "Really! another jewellery box". No, that was good. It was a good mix of traditional and modern cabinet making, nice design and a high level of skill demonstrated. There are some ideas in there that I will store away. Thank you
Yes, regular wood glue has water in it. This causes the wood to swell a little. If I used regular wood glue, I might not be able to get the sliding dovetails seated fully before the glue swelled up the wood enough to seize up the joint. Someone in a forum the other day had that happen to them on a similar project. He used regular wood glue and the sliding dovetail seized on him halfway and he couldn't get it to move further or take it apart! He had to scrap his project. Anytime I have a tight joint, sliding dovetail, or need a long working time, I use epoxy.
Amazing video. I see this and gain so much influence to do the same. I tried to find the plans on the listed website but I was sent to an error page. Regardless, your work is beautiful. I hope to earn half of your talent. Thank you!
Normal wood glue has water in it which will cause the wood to swell and can bind up a sliding dovetail before it's fully seated. Epoxy doesn't have this problem. So whenever I am worried about the joint swelling and binding during glue up I'll use epoxy.
Couple problems with design. The cavity that all the drawers sit in is prone to movement that can cause the drawers to bind up. Second is the swing area of the side doors is to wide and they swing behind the rear of the case meaning the case has to be moved forward the depth of the side (smaller side). So to solve the first problem place a piece of wood roughly in the middle of the cavity that connects both sides. Between the drawers. Think like a dust shield. That will stabilze the opening. For second issue extend the back of the cabinet so it extends out the width of the side cabinet when looking from the front on each side. Leave out the back of the two side sections. Assemble the side section (without rear piece) and have the extended section on each side act as the rear piece of the side unit. This will now become the new pivot point for each side section and the jewelry box can sit back agaist the wall. Ask me how I know. Not critizing your work. The box is beautiful and your work is very precise. Just trying to build a better mouse trap. Thank you for the video!!
I like Rubio also. I have some of their ruby stain for bubinga. Can’t wait to use it. Did you use one stain for everything? What was it? More questions. Do you have the plans available? What wood did you use? Paul
Halfway through and loving the video! Seemingly unrelated question though, how were you able to connect your Dewalt orbital sander to your dust collection? Could you share what shop vac/dust extractor you’re using and what connector/hoses? Been needing a new sander and was decided on that Dewalt until I got stuck on how to get it set up to a vacuum.
It’s a shop vac with an Oneida Dust Deputy connected to it. I’m using a Rockler Dust Right hose and Rockler FlexiPort Click-Connect kit. You can see the shop vac setup in my shop tour video if you’re interested.
I don't own the plans, but they are available. Follow the link in the description to the original creator, Marc Spagnolo, aka The Wood Whisperer. He has plans on his website.
Great video, looks like a future project for me, to try my hand at making. If you were commission to do one of these, what would be the cost? I am thinking a few hundred.
Thanks! I really enjoyed building it and my wife loves it! As for what I would charge: the figured maple is over $150 itself, I bought it a couple years ago so I’m sure it’s even more for something with that much figure. The hinges cost about $200 for premium Brusso hardware. By the time I add the other materials and lots of labor, I wouldn’t consider building one for less than about $2000.
@biscuittreewoodworks What's the model of the router you are using? I bought the Dewalt D26204K-QS which was delivered yesterday. It looks similar to the one you are using. I haven't used mine yet but it looks like a very capable machine.
@@JoaoAlvesCarlos I’m pretty happy with it. I heard from some other woodworkers that it was a good buy and so far I agree. I think the jewelry box was the first project I used it on.
@@biscuittreewoodworks Thanks for the information. I am glad that you like because I purchased more or less the same model. The one I have seems to be the european corresponding model to the DWP611PK in the US. Very nice jewellery box by the way. Congratulations!
Great work! Great detail!! Great video!!! Great patience!!!! Great reason!!!!! Great everything, from start to finish!!!!!! I'm lost on the lack of views & subscribers to your channel, TBH. I subbed before watching a 2nd video. That's how impressed I was from the 1st. I eventually got through 90% of your videos & they were all worth every minute. You deserve so many more subscribers, 💯! Keep pushing & doing what you do! In God's time, it will become yours with great success 🙌! Looking forward to any & all upcoming content 👏!
@@biscuittreewoodworks no need to apologise, ignore me I think I’m just getting old! Love your work, you have a lot of talent, I look forward to your future creations 😊
@@biscuittreewoodworks yeah I mean, dad jokes, woodworking, the name. One might even say you’re trying to steal his identity. I mean it’s the same as if I called my channel the whisperer of wood or eyes four furniture. It’s just weird.
@@AndyLee-rc8wx Well, my YT channel is fairly new, but my wood working business has been called Biscuit Tree Woodworks since 2013. The name comes from something my father said before he died from cancer. So, weird or not, I'm not changing the name.
I think that's true for most anyone who hasn't been exposed to wood figure or something other than stained pine before. People have different tastes as well. Some people like exotic wood and heavy figure while others like the look of construction lumber with some paint and gel stain slapped on it. Nothing wrong with either one if you like the final result.
@@biscuittreewoodworks truly, its better to have no background noise than noise that assults the ears and brain of potential rave reviews. I doubt seriously that Im the only person that feels this way... Please..dont spoil your otherwise great content. BTW.. by noise, I mean your music. The sound of saws, routers, hammers, drills etc is absolutely fine. 👍
@@biscuittreewoodworks I too like to focus on trivial nonsense and make everything about me. I think you should get rid of the noise pollution of the tools and just crank the music.
"hand cut dovetails" lol why not just stand your pieces up on end and use your dovetail bit? if your going to use machines use them lol !! came out beautiful.
Hi, glad you liked the jewelry box! As for the dovetails, at the time I didn't even own a dovetail router bit. I only recently got one when I bought a dovetail jig for a large dresser and didn't want to hand cut all the dovetails for the drawers. Also, I don't know of any dovetail bits small enough to make dovetails this size. If you know of any, let me know!
Yes, I like it much better than the Dewalt saw I had. It's not something I would use when I need to be extremely accurate. I mostly use it for chopping down lumber to manageable size before the final dimensioning at the table saw.
I have the DeWalt currently. I don’t like it sitting against the wall in the middle of the floor 😂. Space is precious. I also agree that a fine tuned crosscut sled is much better than a miter saw cut. Thank you for your wisdom and time!
Amazing result. Have this on the to do list as well. Any issues with the flocking over time? Something about that gives me trust issues ha, don’t trust it to hold.
I’ve never had an issue with it coming off, it can get worn down if you are aggressive with it over time. Biggest thing to know is use a lot more of the adhesive and flocking than you think you need!
@nonplayablecharacter4815 , besides the standard woods( cherry, walnut ), it might look good in a Canarywood, African Rosewood or Shedua might be nice.
