The Complete Procedure to Make a Jewelry Box

Step 1: Make The Top and Bottom Side of the Jewelry Box

• Take a piece of 3/4″ hardwood and cut it into the required dimensions i.e., 6″ x 20″.
• Use a table saw for making a groove cut on the two longer sides of the wooden board. The groove should have a depth of ¼ inch and a width of ½ inch.
• Take a miter saw and cut the board into two pieces each of 9 inches.
• On the end of each piece, make two groove cuts with the help of a table saw. These grooves should have a depth of ¼ inch and a width of ½ inch.

Step 2: Wood Cutting for The Box

• Take ½ inch plywood or hardwood and use a table saw to cut a 32inches piece from it.
• Rip this board to 4.5inches.

Step 3: Make the Sides of The Jewelry Box

• At six inches, cut the board making sure the angle is 45 degrees at both ends. Use the Miter saw for this purpose.
• The board you have cut will now become a template for you. Place it on the wood and cut one more piece same as the previous one.

Step 4: Make The Front And Backside of The Box

• For the front board, cut a nine-inch piece of the board using a miter saw. Keep the angles at both ends equal to 45 degrees.
• Use the board you have just cut as a template and cut the same one for the back of the jewelry box.

Step 5: Place The Boards Together and Dry Fit The Box

• Take the front side of the box and place it flat on the table. Make sure that the 45-degrees angle faces downwards.
• Now take the left board and place it with the front one, end to end correspondence between the boards should be achieved while making this placement.
• Next, you need to take the backboard and place it next to the left board.
• Use the packing tape and tape all the boards you have placed together.
• Now place the bottom board and place it such that its groove side faces upward.
• Then fix the tapped box assembly in this groove.
• Dry fit the bottom side with front and back using the tape.

Step 6: Stick the Sides Together with a Glue

• Take the assembly again off the bottom board. Remove the tape you applied on the right side. Keep the other sides tapped so that the sides remain in place.
• Apply wood glue to the grove of the bottom board and 45-degree angles.
• Now again put the box assembly on the bottom board. Use a clamp that holds the boards tightly in place and secures the connection.  
• Now it’s time to glue the right board. Apply wood glue to its angles and fit it with the assembled boards. Use clamps again to secure the connections.

Step 7: Make the Wooden Tray

• From ¼ inch hardwood, rip the two pieces each having dimensions 2in x 16in.
• Take a table saw for making a grove cut (Depth:1/8-inch, Width: ¼ inch) on the longer side of the boards.
• For the back and front sides, you need to cut two pieces of length 7-3/4 in.
• At 4-5/8 inches, cut two pieces for the sides.
• Also cut a board for partition at 1-3/4-in x 4-5/80-in.
• Take the ¼-in plywood to cut a bottom at 4-5/8in x 7-5/8-in.
• Cut the grooves on the ends of the sideboards and in middle.
• Glue all the sides together to make the tray ready. Use the same procedure you used for the box.
• For tray cleats. Cut two pieces having dimensions of ¼ x 1¾-in x 5-in.
• Flush these cleats with the bottom and apply the glue.

Step 8: Final Steps

• Use an orbital sander to sand all the parts.
• Use the wipe-on polyurethane to finish.
