In this video I take an old TV stand a client sent back to me, and turn it into a beautiful jewelry box for my girlfriends 30th birthday. I use Wenge wood , which is awful, and white oak to make the hand cut half blind dovetail drawers. I use a router to make all the slides, and I take a hunk of solid brass and use basic woodworking tools to make custom drawer pulls.

    Remember kids. Jewelry boxes are for day-to-day jewelry. Put your heirloom or expensive stuff somewhere anyone walking into your bedroom would never bother looking.

    11:36 Handy tip I ran across years ago, has saved many a finish for me: Keep an old toothbrush on hand. The bristles are perfect for raking toward any bit of debris in your wet finish, and scooping it right up out of there. Plus the lines they leave are so light, they'll usually flow and fill right in, or with minimal retouching. Give it a wipe with a damp rag (damp with water or whatever the solvent for that finish) to clean the bristles before it hardens, and you can re-use it for every project.

    Love that you show the mistakes and how to fix them, I'll keep this in mind for next year haha Turned out amazing!
  • Looks great, John. Love the inclusion of the brass! Also, I wish my mistakes were so easily fixed! Great video, brother
  • @piratebash368
    great job. Looks amazing, that's the reaction your after once you've put all that hard work in.
  • @scottrevere5368
    Very nice John. Great to see a project involving hand power and fine detail work like you did here. Just surprised there wasn't another gift inside the jewelry box to further surprise her. She had a wonderful reaction though. And don't you love those 4 words of "Did you make this?". Kudos dude.

    John, I have made multiple gift for my wife in my journey as a woodworker. Isn't it great to see the reaction? Beautiful craftsmanship in this project, and wenge itself is awesome. Nice work.

    The contrast between the wengé (that's how we write it in the Netherlands) and the oak is so beautiful!! My brother in law made two furniture pieces for his graduation with both oak and wengé. I think I will make some out of wengé and oak or maple or something as well! Keep up the good work!

  • @smc4lcc
    Great job on the build! Had a lot of fun watching it, i really need to do a project with dovetails. I'm glad she enjoyed the gift, although i'm not surprised, it turned out really great. Thanks again John!
  • @PeterOConnl
    Nice work buddy. Lovely reaction too, there's no greater feeling than your work truly appreciated by a loved one.
  • @just-dl
    Dude, that is gorgeous. And, you made your hunny happy. And you "Reclaimed" good wood from a South bound project. Win, Win, Win, Win, Win. Just awesome, my friend.
  • @Kinghavs
    Love to see some one show genuine appreciation like the woman in the video did.. nothing motivates like gratitude
  • @JordanWoodwerx
    Nice build John, your girlfriends response was awesome, totally appreciative!! Thanks man!
  • @JNDCreations
    Phenomenal work John! Hopefully one day I’ll get to your skill level! Keep up the great vids!

    I think your best project yet. I have made a ton of jewelry boxes like this and like to use shellac as well. If you are using the blonde shellac I think you may find using a rattle can shellac a lot more forgiving and infinitely easier. 4 or 5 light coats, sanding in between and you are done. You can literally apply the next coat in 20 minutes. I can’t believe a client sent that thing back, I’m going to have to look for that podcast, I want to hear that story......Thanks again for sharing this. Dave
