Kenny, you’re a flocking genius! You can (and I’m sure will) quote me on that. ;-)

Nice!

Awesome job brother! I bet she was hoping you filled it with some of that jewelry….a man can only do so much.

For what it’s worth, I use my grease box you made previously whenever needed. I love that little thing. It’s stayed relatively clean too which is surprising, I figured it would be all gunked up and greasy by now.

Nicely done. The engraving is nice touch!

PS there are couple of characters in the end of the video link (’/l’) that makes link broken.

Thanks for catching that! I fixed the link in the OP.

Kenny – I still have a piece of walnut from the batch I sent you. Looks like I might just have to make something like this for my wife since you set the precedence.

BTW – I started a special “scrap” bin just for you. Not much in there yet.

Pretty Flocking nice! These little boxes always amaze and interest me, one of these days may have to try building one? Curious about the flocking, does it shed?

Music to my ears Earl!! I’ll be glad to make and send you one for the wife in return for the “scraps”!

Thanks Andre. Never had any problem with flocking shedding at all. I’ve used it in a few bandsaw boxes over the past couple of years. I use the Donjer brand supplies including the color-matched adhesive. I’ve read where people just use 2-part epoxy and dye it to match the fibers but I can’t say whether that works as well or not. Once it cures fully, I blow it with compressed air to remove any loose fibers and haven’t ever seen any come off after that.

How wonderful!
Happy wife, makes a happy life – yours must be by now.
(So wonderful with the little message in the lid)
Cool box, well made.
I’ll be happy to see you added to the GBOC:

Thanks for looking Mads :-)) It was your blogs on these little devils that set my mind to thinking of possible uses for them. They’re so clever and fun to build! So many possibilities and so much fun to make!

Andre, Mads’ blog series has drawings and the link in the OP to St. Roy’s show on them has a great build walkthrough. Grab a piece of wood and your tools of preference and go to it :-) I have to say, it’s a great project to do with just hand tools if you’re so inclined.

-- Kenny, SW VA, Go Hokies!!!

Very nice Ken. And a creative idea too!

-- We all make mistakes, the trick is to fix it in a way that says "I meant to do that".

I flocking love it!!
Great work.

-- Pete

That is a perfect little gift box. Well done and I like the idea.
