Thread: Cufflink Box

Why not just cut thin pieces of the timber you intend to use, mark out the divisions for the compartments and then cut at each mark to the halfway depth of the strip. You then just push the dividers together to form the compartments.

Here is where I learned how to do it

For a jewellery or cufflink case, I would use flocked matboard (can be bought from framing suppliers or a framer), glued back to back, making it around 5 mm. The slots can be cut with a Stanley knife.
Cheers

Thanks for that!

I have been trying to search for tips on making dividers in the box. I need to make about 3 rows of 6 in a box approx 300mm x 200mm.

If anyone could lead me onto a link that I seem to not be able to find or if they have tips that would be much appreciated!!

See if you can get hold of a copy of Doug Stowe's basic box making dvd. He covers most aspects of box making including making dividers for boxes. Check out your local library for a copy.

Ive actually bought his dvd and am basing my box on his one (box within a box with dividers) on the dvd. I like really like the design and will start making it as soon as I get my timber and i'm back home.
