Making an Easy Dovetail Jewelry Box Project
Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 08. 2023
- These dovetail jewelry box projects are perfect woodworking gifts. They take very little material, they can be made quickly, they are pretty easy to construct, but they have a huge WOW factor when you give them to people. I used figured walnut for my jewelry box. It consists of a giant sliding dovetail joint that connects the lid to the base. Inside the jewelry box is a tray lined with felt. It’s a beautiful woodworking project. If you are interested in making a quick DIY gift, give this one a shot.

do you ship for someone in south africa?
Love the box! Very interesting design and fairly straight forward to make if you have the right tools.
I ended up making one to go with the necklace I got for my partner as a gift and got a lot of compliments.
Seeing something “new” in woodworking is pretty rare. You just showed a new thing in such a humble way. Big respect!
Very cool. I really appreciate that!
Great Video...and beautiful result. Maybe a recessed magnet might help secure the box from un-wanted sliding..
Great idea!
Awesome project.. thank for sharing! What I would add is small magnets at one end to keep it closed tight.
I made one like this a while back that timber biscuit woodworks designed
Beautifully done, great idea to batch out and give away as gifts, it's very unique aesthetic, not the same ole..same ole that I see on CZcams, well done bro
Thats a cool idea, simple but nice, all out of one peice, no worrying about the grain pattern.
That was the goal from the start 👍
Nice looking box
That is an AMAZING idea! Thanks for sharing!
Wow that is beautiful!!!
That's beautiful
Excellent work. Definitely going to put it on my list to build. Stay awesome.
This is one of my favorite of your projects!
I make boxes with a sliding lid so this dovetail project looks quite interesting ! Been awhile since my router seen any action so I'm gonna make one out of pine and see if this might be my new way to making my boxes. What a clever idea Newton !
I don't typically do sliding lid boxes so this was a fun change of pace.
Great project. Mega-Wow Factor!
i love this idea and will be making one this week, thanks so much for sharing.
Hey there wanted to let you know i loved this video and found this while searching for inspiration for my self directed project at school made out of wood. I wanted to know if it would be okay if i could make this? If so, would you mind perhaps listing down how to make this or the measurements for each wooden cut and length, width, etc? Hopefully you see this in time so I don’t fall behind, thank you so so much :)!!
What a beautiful piece. Liked very much
I appreciate that you made it and videoed this for us to see. It’s a Beautiful project and I am going to definitely try to make one. ONE LOVE TO ALL!!!
I always like your projects. Glad I found you and I'm always looking for new videos. Keep them coming and thank you.
Sweet project idea!
Wow great idea and cool easy project thanks for sharing.
Very beautiful. 👍👍👍👍👍
That is sweet!
Very Nice.
That's crazy beautiful, Billy! Fantastic work!!! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Appreciate it. I may apply some more coats to add even more depth.
These are amazing you could even engrave the top
I like the way you think!
Very, very cool!
I'm guessing I'm gonna have to make one now...
Thanks Billy for adding work to the pile! 😂
Awesome! I have tried a couple of the techniques from you channel & every time I do I feel like I upgrade a level haha
Can't wait to try this for my daughters!!
Best comment ever! You made my day 😁
That would look awesome as a pen box.
It really would be. So many options for this.
Excellent project idea!! I may have to make a few myself…as gifts!!
They are amazing gifts. Very easy to batch out.
Looks wicked billy really nice wee project. Just need get over my fear of using router. 🏴👍
I'm with you. They always want to eat your face off. One of my least favorite tools.
This thing is really cool! :)
Beautiful. That wood indeed did all the talking.
Great idea, Billy. I may have to make a few myself.
Bill
Highly recommend it. They are a very satisfying project.
That looks great! Also, Batman rules 😊
Cool project and a nice gift for my granddaughter. Really like your channel
That's the best reason to get in the shop and make stuff.
nice
You tube must read my mind i was just thinking that i want to add a sliding dovetail attachment to work bench so i can slide in a bench vise when i want it then remove and add flat surface when don’t need it. This video is perfect timing
Gonna make one with three chambers for my kid's competitive beyblades. Gonna be sick!
That's a cool adaptation!
I am binge watching your box series. In the family document box, did you finish the inside? You don’t show it, but it does look similar to the outside. Is there a finish you would feel comfortable using for family historical papers?
Great series so far. New sub 😀
Cool idea and (seems) pretty simple to built 👍
What about slicing the initial block in 3 parts (thin/thick/thin) for the bottom/middle/top and then breaking the middle block in 2 sides and one center part that will still hav to be hollowed before gluing back all together to make a box with maximal continuity of the woodgrain ? 😅 Pretty much more work I guess, and saw kerf will have to be dealt with, which might not be this easy... 🤔
Nothing wrong with that. If someone thinks that extra effort is worth it then I say go for it!
I’m currently working on some custom dominoes boxes. This would be great for that.
I like that idea 👍
Beautiful project Billy! I think this is the first time I've seen you use a dado stack. That being said, I haven't been watching you tube much for a while. Hope all is well with you and yours.
It's probably the first time I've used one all year! 😂 I typically don't, for whatever reason.
👍💓!!
Thank you for this very creative but "simple" idea. i hope you do not mind, i may "borrow" that idea for a wedding gift that will go to my colleague who just got married... Thank you!
That's amazing! Absolutely go for it! My channel is all about sharing so I think it's great when we can inspire each other.
You have nice wood.
Why thank you
Hey I admire your work, just curious, would you ever try to do a fully hand made project?
Not beginning to end in one project. But I have done every stage of the build process with hand tools.
@@NewtonMakes hey, appreciate You took the time to read me and reply! I know you're busy but You should try a fully hand project justo for fun, specially the hand plane
Great design. One question from a newbie. What size dovetail bit did you use?
Should be in the description somewhere. I can't remember off hand.
@@NewtonMakes if it’s in the plans, that would make sense. That would make it worth the purchase of the plans if they have that detail.
Excellent!!!!! I did this type of boxes in the past as a gift for different friends but no more,,,,,I know what you are doing with all this effort when I gave them out all I got was rather lacksidaisical "cool" or "that’s nice" so I quit casting pearls before swine and keep them around my home and shop and if they really like something and want to know about work and sweat and throw in words like "family heirloom" or "that is beautiful" and "I could pass it on to my kids", then I might give it to them….but for most part people don’t appreciate the skill and sweat that goes into making it, so I’m somewhat stingy about giving out projects…..but congrats on your skill set and sweat. I hope you don’t "cast pearls before swine" and give it to a person that will treasure it ok just keep it from some clown using it to hold crazy glue or greasy gun parts …….nicely done!!!!
Where/how did you acquire the walnut?
I think this came from my video called Chainsaw Milling 101. I use a lot of wood I milled myself.
what was the oil you used in the finish mixture
Tung oil
Easy... after you've got thousands into the tools 😂 Beautiful box though!
💥💥💥👍
Lmao at people complaining like there's something really new, and truly unique under the sun... Anyhow, nice quick project I think I need to make happen. Thanks 👍🏾

You stole this design and project from Timber Biscuit Woodworks. I can’t believe you’re trying to profit on another creator’s work. Unreal.
Show us the laws he broke you psycho. Art is meant to be shared. I’m sure more than one person has achieved this simple design on there own merit. Did you try reaching out to Newton first before putting him on blast? Cuz this guy is no villain I assure you.
I’m sorry to say, I don’t know who Timber Biscuit Woodworks is and have never seen his/her videos. I rarely consume woodworking content for this very reason - I don’t want anyone’s work to strongly influence my own. It helps me to keep a clear creative process.
Every once in a while, I have stumbled across someone’s project that was so perfect I had to give it a try. In those rare cases, I’ve gone out of my way to give the person credit. Why wouldn’t I? It’s no harm to me and it helps to promote a fellow creator.
I don’t know what Timber Biscuit made or how it resembles mine. The idea for this project began because I was brainstorming ways to build a bench and wanted long, horizontal dovetails under the top. When thinking of those dovetails, I visualized slicing one into small sections and making tiny boxes out of it. In my shop, I make A LOT of boxes. So, for me, this was a natural progression in my creative thought process.
This project is rock simple. It’s a sliding dovetail and a cut out. I’m not shocked if someone made a similar project. It’s woodworking and that happens all the time. I’ve shopped for materials on Etsy and encountered projects that look exactly like ones I designed. I don’t assume they copied me because there are lots of inspiration points as a maker. Perhaps some did copy me. If so, cool! I made something that inspired another woodworker and promoted the craft? I actually think that’s pretty awesome.
The audio podcast Making It started because two of the hosts accidently made similar project videos and talked to each other about it. No assumptions of ill intent; simply chatting and finding out how much they have in common. That led to a fantastic podcast (highly recommend). I’ve received a group chat’s worth of comments, but Timber Biscuit hasn’t emailed me directly. If they did, maybe we can even chat about the craft. Let’s strive to not assume the worst of each other and instead work together to inspire the next generation of woodworkers. This is a fun hobby; let’s make it a fun community too.
I constantly extend a welcoming hand to peers. Others can do the same or slap it away. Let’s always hope for the former. Regardless, I wish you and Timber Biscuit the best. I hope you make some cool stuff in the future!
@@NewtonMakes I don’t understand why people are so judgmental. If you sat on your computer and researched every project idea you had to see if someone had done it already you wouldn’t ever make anything. I enjoy your videos and I learn a lot from them. The only thing I wish I could change is that you can teach me one on one
Timber Biscuit put this in the public domain, can't see how that's stealing. (plus it's uber simple) This guy is putting his take on it and also sharing. That's what woodworkers do.
Absolutely the idea was stolen. I have soooo many original ideas and I search for how to make them and bugger me, nearly everytime I find someone has stolen them. Often they've even improved them to just to make it more insulting. Ithink my mind is being tapped in to somehow because no-one on this planet could possibly think of the same things I do. Having a dovetail sliding lid is soooo original and unique, only one person could think of that. I was stunned to discover this concept. Great snappy informative video thankyou. I think I'll make one! 😅
