Oh For Keepsake!

http://blip.tv/play/AYGrmVAA

Its that time of year again: HOLIDAY PROJECT TIME! So this year, I decided to make a few little keepsake boxes, thanks to some advice from The Great WOODini. I also took inspiration from a box Nicole keeps on her nightstand and developed a new design that is much more practical for the average woodworker to make. The boxes feature a secret locking pin. Once removed, the lid slides off on a sliding dovetail. And as always with these holiday gift projects, you can modify them by trying different sizes, shapes, and wood species to make your own one-of-a-kind box. And since they are so easy to make, its no problem batching out a bunch of them in a single weekend. If you decide to make some, please send me pics of your variations.

Topics Covered:

  • Creating sliding dovetails
  • Using a dowel-centering pin to locate holes
  • Cutting a recess with a pattern bit
  • Sanding end-grain

The project is cool, but the mustache makes it. I'm thinking that should be a permanent fixture on all future episodes!

I'd like for the Great Woodini to visit me to grant a few wishes :)) Did he come from a wooden box in the forest? Great show ol' chap!! I'm a great fan of sliding dovetails instead of hinges for most everything from small boxes to the patch boxes on Kentucky rifles.

Love the brief interruption to educate us on how to repair sudden unforseen scratches that may surface. Has "Someone" found out yet?

Great project and video. Another home run. I'm curious why you didn't just tape the pinned triangle to the corner and drill it from the opposite side using the through hole as a guide? I've used those dowel centers and they work great, but it seems that since the triangle sits on a narrow point it would be easy to misalign.
