Thread: My first Jewellery box - Silky Oak, inlay top.

Now the two pieces are glued and clamped, then the inlay piece is roughed away until it can be sanded flush with the base timber.

Now for the sides, I kept things simple, glued mitre's on the corners, glued the lid on then cut away a lid.

For the bottom I used a piece of 7mm ply, since it is covered with felt top and bottom, didn't take a pic of that so you will have to take my word for it

Added all the finishing bits and lined the inside with felt, wasn't that a whole lot of fun, arg !

Any hoo, here is the finished product, the boss is happy with it and it will be raffled off tonight, talk about the nick of time !

Gee, if this is your first I can't wait to see the result when you get in a bit of practice! Very well done

Cheers Dave

Well as it turns out you won't have to wait long, my daughter is having a birthday in a weeks time so I have to have another done by then, but I have a head start on that one as I built most of it alonside this one, it is smaller but a bit nicer I reckon.

That is great!!

Is that done with CNC machine?

Yup I built myself a bit of a clunker CNC router but it spits out some decent work at times.

Hi there Epineh. Very nice box. Any chance of a photo of your cnc router, I'd be interested in seeing it. I built myself an overhead router sled, which does a pretty good job, not brilliant but pretty good. It also has a sanding facility on it. There are photos of all this somewhere on this forum.

The thing I would like to try and build now is a drum sander.

Regards, Paul

Hi Paul, well as it turns out I don't have any decent pics of the machine as it is today, just some as it was being built, I do have a video, it may have to do.

I have done a few mods since this was taken but you get the idea.

Cheers.

Russell.
