Making a Walnut Keepsake Box

See how I made this Walnut Keepsake Box to hold a shoulder plane I bought for my Dad's 70th birthday.
I'll show how I made the box from start to finish including planing, cutting the material to length and adding rebates to hold the base.
You can learn how to glue up a box, stick on the lid and then use a flush cut router bit to trim it to size.
I also cover how to apply osmo to the walnut box in detail and a few finishing shots of the completed box.
I hope you enjoy the video and let me know in the comments if you like the box. Thanks for watching!
