how to build a wooden jewelry box part one

When it comes to building a wooden jewelry box, it can be very easy to make. All that it takes is a little bit of time and a little know how. Deciding how you want the wooden jewelry box to look is the first step. A general idea is all that you will need for right now. All that you have to do is get general ideas of you want the jewelry box to look. This does not have to include any details at this exact moment. For example if you wanted to make a little girl's jewelry box painted pink with green flowers, then the materials that would be required would be wood, pink and green paint, and a paint brush. The key to this step is to just have fun and make sure that you know kind of what you are going for. The best way to do this is to brainstorm daydream. You are not looking to see every detail just the overall picture. Once you have an excellent idea of what it is that you want your jewelry box to look like, it is time to make a listing of all of the supplies that you will need. Some of the most fundamental supplies that I always use are: wood (I usually use cherry, oak, cedar or mahogany, these types of woods have a propensity to give me superior looking jewelry boxes),screws or nails (my personal fondness is to dove tail the boxes),wood glue, a spray adhesive, a saw ( I try to use a jig saw, band saw and a chop saw these make my life so much easier), sand paper/ sander(I use a fine grit and rough grit) u can use a hand saw if this is all that you have access to), hammer, two small hinges, measuring tape, utility knife and a pencil or pen. After picking out your materials for the exterior of your wooden jewelry box it is a good idea to pick out the interior materials. These materials can be made from felt, silk, velvet, leather or anything else that you can think of. The only word of caution that I might exhibit would be to make sure that the material that you choose is both pliable and durable.
