How I Make: A Keepsake Box

In this video I make a simple keepsake box from some leftover walnut and cherry. It was a pretty straight forward DIY woodworking project. I had never made one before but I think it turned out pretty good. I will definitely be making another one in the future. I hope you enjoy the video and thanks for joining me on my making journey.

glueing those boards together for sawing is a great idea

[@howimake1]

Thank you! Not my idea but definitely handy when you need it.

I'll assume the tape and glue at approx. the 2:25 mark is for cutting the top and bottom to equal lengths and widths. I like this method for cutting equal pieces and will try it. I can even see how this would work for the ends and sides PRIOR to cutting the miters. Will you explain how you cut your miters and keep them the same length? Thank you. Nice work.

Looks great!

[@charlescook4248]

You went from cutting to length to taping the mitered pieces. How did you get a good, consistent 45 degree miter?

[@howimake1]

The pieces that I was cutting to length were the top and bottom. I had already cut the miters before. As for the good fit I just kinda got lucky with that, HaHa! Thanks for watching.

What are the dimensions? How thick are the panels and what type of wood species did you use here?

[@howimake1]

It's been a while but I think it is about 10 inches long by 5 inches tall and wide. The sides are a 1/4 inch thick and the panels are about 1/8 inch thick. I'm pretty sure I used walnut and cherry.

Well I had to mute because it was assumed the music was what I wanted to hear - no wood was dancing, was this a music video?

[@adamjonkie5601]

What brand /model is your planner??

[@howimake1]

It's a Makita 12 inch planer, model 2012...I think?

[@mstev5956]

Great work though 👍
