Here is my first try at making an Andy-style art box, following his great set of tutorials (available here). Since I don't own a router table, I made the top into a square piece that sets into the regular box opening (someday I'll have to try the nice rounded-rabbet recessed style). I think...

This box was inspired by the work of George W. Betjemann and Sons who were prominent case makers in London in the mid-19th century. I want to mention also Daniel Lucian, proprietor of Daniel Lucian Antique Boxes in London, who was kind enough to share valuable insights and information about the...

I built this box just to kill time in the shop. There was no one in mind and no real plan going in. It's red oak with a walnut handle. The dovetails are hand cut and so are the grooves for the bottom and the groove on the lid that the walnut handle fits into. All the stock was dimensioned by...

I haven't had much time or space to do any woodworking while the Navy has me working hard in South Carolina and living in an apartment, but I made a friend with a small shop and used all of my available time towards the end of this past summer to build this jewelry box for my wife to give to her...

Asked to make a flute case out of purpleheart and maple. Couldn't find any pre-made brass handles that were good. so I made my own out of scraps from the project and brass rod.

This Valentine's Day Box represents my latest project and my first post on here. The piece is made of Cherry and some extremely rare wood that a cabinet maker friend gave me. The sides are cut from one continuous piece of Cherry and the top piece is not veneered wood, it is simply some unknown...

I was requested by my Mom to make her a small jewelry box that she can keep on their boat since only has a larger one at the house to use. Her only request was a rough size and that it somewhat match the serving tray that I made my Dad earlier this past summer. Approximate dimensions are...

Here is a little box that I built just a proof of concept. You can see the look I was going for. The woods are hard maple and Peruvian walnut with my standard crushed velvet interior. The rest is sort of self explanatory.
