Jewelry Box

I hope you enjoy this FREE version of the Jewelry Box Guild project. If you want to build this project, you can get immediate access to the digital plans and over four hours of video instruction. Click here to learn more!

This Jewelry Box is designed to pack a lot of storage into a small space. It features five drawers, an upper storage compartment, side compartments, and a hidden drawer. The wood I used is highly figured Walnut and Honduran Mahogany.

Although I don’t need a jewelry box, I will be buying this plan for the many techniques and tips that I can use on another project I am planning.

Many thanks again.

Cheers,
Peter

A real man doesn’t wear an apron.

  “real men” don’t evaluate the appearance of other men. But if that’s your thing, who am I to judge? :)

I’ve never seen that spray on felt material before. I’ve wondered had to add felt without using actual sheets of it making it look cheap or sloppy. Great video and great looking piece.

I wish I could “like” one of your replies above. :)

Excellent preview!! I have to admit this project wasn’t really top of my ‘list’ in terms of projects I wanted to get (simply because I’m not really a “jewelry box” type of person), but after seeing the details and techniques in this video, it’s moved up more than a few notches. I can’t help but think of making it and giving it to a very special young lady in my life as well.

Thank you Marc! Your work is always inspiring.
Could I purchase just the cut list for this project at a reduced cost? I’m experienced in these techniques and really want to make this box. If not, I understand.

  Sorry Ray. We don’t really have anything in place for selling the “plans” apart from the video series.

I have just purchased a quilted maple billet, 5A figure. This looks like a wonderful fit. I should have enough walnut as a substitute for the mahogany. Your designs and details are impressive, to say the least. In fact, I have to make two of these…both daughters have graduations coming (high school and med school). I’m gonna have my hands full. I may need to go the full plans route…or they’ll never receive their gifts. :

Are the plans for this beautiful chest available for purchase. Do you think this design is scalable to something on the order of 3-4 feet tall? Thanks

  I have seen many tall jewelry chests so it can definitely be scaled. As for plans, that link is in the description. :)

I wanted to just find the plans because I’m still learning how to do dovetails and I’m not currently confident in the skill but I could still make it with some inset wood screws if it’s available to just purchase plans I would love to do it as well as I can’t afford the $80 for all of it
