How I Make: A Keepsake/Tea Box

In this video I took inspiration from John Maleckis version of a tea box that he took from Mike Pekovich book The Why and How of Woodworking. I used walnut for the walls and detail pieces and maple for the top, bottom and inserts. I used finger joints instead of dovetails since I've never attempted either I started with what I felt would be easier. This was a really fun woodworking project and I hope you enjoy the video. Go ahead and like and subscribe if you would and I'll see you on the next one. Thanks!

Wow which dewalt table saw is that?

[@howimake1]

It's the DWE7480. Not sure they make it anymore. I love it.

Thanks for sharing a beautiful build. Any chance you have PDF plans to sell. I'm a disabled builder so I really need crutch to lean on.

[@howimake1]

Thank you so much! I'm sorry but I don't have any planes for this one. I just kind of winged it. I probably should look into making plans in the future.

Thanks for the quick reply and THANKS for the good looking build! @@howimake1

[@MichaelSchlecht91]

Awesome work!
May I ask which thickness wood you used for the inset rows?

[@howimake1]

Thank you, I appreciate that. I planed the maple down to about 1/8 of an inch for the inside walls and spacers.
