Leon
Thanks for your input on the Watco Teak Oil. After RonB's comment I went
and scanned your Flickr stream. I quickly noticed we share the "same dog."
Our fawn Great Dane "Gracie" looks like a twin to Moca.
So anyway I call my wife in to see Moca and after she comments on the dog,
she immediately focuses on the jewelry chest at the bottom of the page and
states: "That's what you can make me!" She wants hers on a Krenov style
base, however.
Thanks, Leon. I needed another project. :) By the way, the jewelry chest is
great.

Yep. I installed a number of alarm systems that used both painfully loud
sirens and brilliantly flashing lights inside the house. Particularly if
there is a room where there are valuables stored. The double whammy of the
painful noise and blinding lights really reduces motivation to hang around.
Funny story. I was living in a house with a recording studio just a room
away from the front door. The whole place was wired with everything you
could think of. Including both external and internal alarm bells/sirens.
You had to deactivate the system in the morning or if you wanted to go out
at night.
My room mate had a car stolen from another location. The police came by in
the early morning to talk to him about it. He stumbled to the door, half
asleep, and opened it. All the alarms, sirens, flashing lights, etc went off
with two police officers standing on the front porch. That woke up John and
he immediately ran to the box ans shut it all down. He returned to the front
door where the two police officerrs were laughing their asses off. They
found it all very amusing.

Jerry, Jerry, Jerry, you erred in showing her those pictures. Now you need
to "negotiate" a new tool out of this project. Ya know, something that you
"need" to complete this jewelry box project.

Hell, I can't find stuff - that I put somewhere. If a damned burglar
could
find stuff I've inadvertentl hidden - I'd hire him/her as my personal
assistant.
Come to think of it, kids can find things pretty well - when motivated.
Doesn't matter where I stash it, when asked for money and I say "Find
my wallet." - it's found - in seconds.
Now where the hell did I leave my glasses!?

There ya go. At minimum, he'll need a kerfmaker and a few new Forrest

Surprising her with one of the jewelry boxes would have accomplished
that on its own. <knowing grin>

Thank you.
That was going to be firewood. It is actually spalted live oak. I had
limbs trimmed off of an oak tree that had been setting out drying for a
couple of years and decided to get it ready to burn by splitting the limb
with my BS. Saw the results and saved for a project like this.

Our church got hit this past Monday. The perps threw a rock through the
office door window, got in, took 3 computers and the school kids' lunch
money (not kidding, we don't have a hot lunch program so buy from Dominoes
once a week and subs another day in the week). What was disconcerting about
this was that the rock thrown probably weighed less than 10 pounds and
completely shattered the window (2 foot by 2 1/2 foot hole in thick safety
glass), traveled another 10 feet and smashed a hole in the drywall on the
opposite wall. That was one powerful throw or thrown by a very drug-crazed
addict. The good news was that the two laptops they got off with had no
confidential personal information on them and would have brought, if lucky,
maybe $20 at a yard sale. The office computer was a desktop, and had only
names and addresses, nothing one could not get from a phone book. It may
have been worth $50 at a yard sale. Some of that lunch money was in
Domino's gift cards that were serialized, hopefully the perps used them for
pizza for the big game, local Domino's manager was watching for them to come
through.

In South Louisiana, the phrase "Pauve ti bete" is common and translates
to "poor little thing" ... "stupid" is another word entirely. :)
As a child, I was raised with "le français acadien" from my parents on a
daily basis, but my old age grasp of the language is poor and suffers
from a couple of other languages interposed since childhood, over 60
years ago.
You do well ...

You are welcome. I just looked at the plans and realized that the door
details are lacking. If you need those I will be glad to send a set for
those. I build lots and lots of doors and don't need any thing but the over
all dimensions any more.
I can send those in Sketchup and or PDF, 3D

IIRC, Leon made great use of a drum sander to make some of the parts, so
that would be a good tool to start with.
I, myself, had planned on using that ploy, but Linda is neither
interested in, wears, nor owns, enough jewelery to fill a tea cup.
Counting my blessing ... ;)

Thank you,
I was designing and going to building one for my wife for Christmas a couple
of years ago and my neighbor saw the designs. Build one for me too, he
said. I sold to him IIRC $850, and that was a steal for him. Not too much
more trouble for me as I built both at the same time. But here is what they
go for, scroll down, I used this chest for basic dimensions and altered the
drawer configeration a bit.

I have considered doing that over the past 25 or so years, but my wife does
park her car in the garage when I am caught up. My neighbor used an epoxe
paint and it did not stick, the paint stuck to the hot tires. I can still
live with a grey floor.

Depending on where you keep it, could you add a metal bracket to
the back that could be affixed to the rear of the chest or
dresser?

Burglaries here in our town tend to what's called Smash and Grab.
One or two "disadvantaged" people take a rock and smash a patio
door for a quick entry/exit. They then run inside and grab
electronics, laptops, small TV's, jewelry boxes and drugs. The
typical time between smashing the patio door and the exit is 3-4
minutes at best, and all that's taken is what they can carry and
toss into their car.
There's virtually nothing that can be done to prevent this type of
burglary, but some companies sell a film for door and window glass
that will cut down on the speed with which the glass can be
smashed and removed to gain entry. The old days of prying a door
out of the track, picking a lock or jimmying a window etc. are
almost in the past, in that regard.
IMHO, the best thing a homeowner can do on a practical level is to
use the film on larger doors or windows and to make one Hell of a
racket when someone triggers an alarm. In my case, I have
installed 130dB sirens INSIDE the house and the garage and
connected them to the burglar alarm. When triggered, they
actually cause physical pain and surely would cut down on the
"dwell" or "search" time a burglar would take inside the home.
My garage (the one with tools in it) has both the typical garage
door and also a passage door in the rear. The passage door is
metal, fire resistant, and pretty decent. Besides the deadbolt
lock, I removed the screws from the strike plate and replaced them
with hardened 4" ones that go into the door's framing and not just
the trim. Still, a stout person could place their back to the
fence and kick it in. To reduce that, I also got a length of
chain and a couple eyebolts. The eyebolts are on either side of
the door and the chain is connected to one permanently. When we
leave town for a trip, I use a split link to connect the other end
of the chain to the other eyebolt. While not perfect, it's just
another hoop some jerk will have to jump through to get in via
that door.
FWIW, we were returning from out of town when a neighbor decided
to cook chili and bring us a big bowl as a surprise. She used my
code to enter the front door, but forgot to deactivate the burglar
alarm. The particular door was on a 30 second delay, and she was
in the kitchen when it went off. It was so loud and painful that
she dropped the bowl of chili to hold her ears and run out of the
house. She returned later with her husband to sweep up the chili
and mop the floor, so I'm pretty sure a burglar would find it
equally distracting.
For those of you with shops, even the garage variety, it's a
pretty cheap way to reduce losses from a burglary.

Yeah. I "cannot imagine" even starting a jewelry box without
something like a new 15" (or larger) surface planer or wide bed drum
sander :^} If you already have one, get into Lee Valley and start
looking at high-end hand tools.
Or maybe you can negotiate for.....errrr....something else.

What kind of wood in the center of the doors frame? It seems to be cut
transversally? BTW very nice work.

I would like the plans if you are willing to send them to me at pinotte23"A
commercial"hotmail.com . Replace "A Commercial" by @ if you do.
I do not want you to think I flatter you to get the plans if for any reason
you do not send them to me but the doors are damn nice looking. The two kind
of wood make the doors very nice looking and yes I can read AutoCad files.

Ok send them to me both in PDF and 3D since details would be a plus. The
face's doors measurement are fine to me and I lack experience in this kind
of stuff. So what is the name of the hardware buttons to hold the necklaces,
what is the kind of fabric inside the drawers.... satin or velvet?
Thank you
PS; I saved the pictures of your work for reference and the company's one
which are selling them for $2,500 or about. MOUHAHAHAHAHA!!!. You must be

I received them, thank again. Both PDF and Sketchup files are well detailed.
One last question if you still follow this link. What about the drawer's
tracks. I once made tiny rail track 3/16 X 3/16 in hard wood and I could not
use screws so I had to pre hole them then use small nails. I am curious what
kind of material is used for the rails track in the jewel box.

I thought it was maple but I am not so good to evaluate the essence of the
wood since there are so many even if I worked so often with maple at my job.
So one less question you will have to answer me.

I was not in the "studying" mode about the plans so I really notice now how
the plan is well done. All the dado's cut are align for each piece.

Yeah. I "cannot imagine" even starting a jewelry box without
something like a new 15" (or larger) surface planer or wide bed drum
sander :^} If you already have one, get into Lee Valley and start
looking at high-end hand tools.
I made use of the planer and my drum sander. The drum sander was great for
tweaking the height of the drawers. I cut all drawer heights for fit tight.
They all had to be sanded on the top and bottom to get the spacing between
the drawers "just right". I sanded left and right pairs at the same time
and kept the tops and bottoms coordinated.

Just remember how easy it is for a burglar to make off with the
beautiful chest and all it's contents in one fell swoop. In and out
in less than two minutes.

Ok, If you noticed, the sides of the chests have dado's. Some of those
dados are for the dividers, most of the smaller ones are to receive the
drawer slide runners. I don't recall the exact dimensions so take my
mentioning of measurements as a rule of thumb. The drawings are accurate,
my dimensions on this answer are probably not.
Anyway the chest sides with the dados are cut all at the same time, both
sides about 1/4" deep. This insures that the dado's are aligned precisely
from one side to the other. Cut the dado for both of all four for the upper
drawers, adjust the fence make the next and so on.
Once all the drawer slide dados are cut I added a another piece of maple to
the fronts sides of the cabinet sides and center support. This essentially
made the chest about 1" deeper but more importantly made the dado's to
appear as stopped dados.
Then I glued in 1/2" slides forward up against the back of the 1" piece that
was added to act as a stop for the dado. for the drawers to hang on.
Basically half the slide went in the dado and half was exposed.
I used the same material, maple, for the drawers, slides and case.
If you noticed on the right side of the drawing I made a dado cutting
schedule. The schedule told me when to cut which dados and in what
sequence. I used this method so that I could make all the same depth and
width dado cuts at the same time.
Putting the drawer slides in the case side dado insured that placement would
be precise.
Clear as mud? ;~)

Nah, the chest is too large to fit in the bag. The perp'd take longer
emptying the drawers and be caught by the time they were done.
Jewelry chests help catch criminals, Z.

Very nice. Do you sell those? If so, how much do you get?
Hey, Leon. Roll everything out, do a quick clean on the floor, and
paint it with pure white porch paint. You'll be surprised how much
lighter the shop is with a white floor.
The real treat is that all those dropped pieces of tiny hardware show
up instantly on it. You don't need epoxy, just a sealer on the
concrete before paint. Most already have sealer on 'em. Mine took $35
worth of paint, 2 gals.

A chest like that would be good for storing.... saddle squares, rulers,
calipers, tilt boxes, etc.
