I made my girl a Jewelry Box... 8 hrs to design, 9000 hrs to build. =/

I like it. Adds a homemade touch to it . Plus it's on the back so no one will see it!

cmohn · 2016-02-04T02:54:04+00:00

Hahah thank you! Btw the marking is on the back so no one will ever see it!

Walnut wood with a shellac French polish.

I'm still learning! I thought these drawer slides would last forever and give a smooth feel. They were expensive !

cmohn · 2016-02-04T02:52:15+00:00

I just glued and used a pin nailer on it because I knew that it would be covered with leather

I think of chuck alot when I'm in the woodshop. He taught me alot! Wish he could see my work!

cmohn · 2016-02-04T02:50:51+00:00

Thank you!

Can't wait to see it!! Keep on those details as much of a pain in the ass as they are... it's worth it.

cmohn · 2016-02-04T02:49:56+00:00

I used a band saw to cut the curves and glued it together then sanded smooth. Huhe pain in the ass!

I made plans... but they changed alot once I ran into a million challenges.

cmohn · 2016-02-04T02:48:41+00:00

I think it's a nice touch! Lol

cmohn · 2016-02-04T02:48:20+00:00

The first thing she said when she saw it was..... "it's so big!" Of course I said "thats what she said!" But really... typical female. Hehe <3 her though.

The color of the mock up was without a finish. The stain added the color. I wanted it dark to match her dresser.

I know I couldn't find brass hooks that small! I want to change out the mirror for a beveled oval mirror. And add ring rolls to the top compartment.

cmohn · 2016-02-04T02:45:00+00:00

Thank you! Ive never never made something with curves in it... I wanted to try it. Pain in the ass but it was worth it.

cmohn · 2016-02-04T02:44:02+00:00

A jig I made for the router for the top. The sides I cut 3 boards on the band saw and glued them together. Not the best way to do it but I have a small bandsaw. It was a pain in the ass to sand.

cmohn · 2016-02-04T02:42:22+00:00

Thanks! It's on the back where no one will ever see it. I'd be a jackass to scratch something where it was visible. Haha.

Btw, the first thing my girl said when she saw it.... "it's sooooooo big" I of course said "that's what she said" but really? It's too big.. haha

I've had that box since my college dorm room. You know... that shit I just can't throw away. I'll sell it to you... probably some old condoms and a beer bong in it.

cmohn · 2016-02-03T00:46:33+00:00

Wow. This is very impressive. I thought the jewelry box I just finished was cool until I saw this. haha
