  • Made a couple of keepsake boxes, all with mitered joinery and reinforced with keys on the corners.
    Over time I've kept and saved various pieces of weird woods, with knots, burls to use them eventually for lids, and also some interesting veneers, bird's eye maple, grey stained oak that I glue them on plywood to make the lids.
    Some boxes are for sale on my store here www.adrianpreda.com/shop
    A great book for inspiration and techniques is Box Making Basics, David Freedman - amzn.to/47sA9GM
    Wood: walnut, oak, maple, ash. Finish: Danish oil

    Every time I watch this video I pick up another useful tip... My woodworking skills have increased exponentially since I subscribes to your channel. I took one of my boxes inspired by this video to an interview at Glasgow Clyde College for their string instrument making course... Been offered a place... Thanks Adrian I owe you.
