You’re making keepsake boxes ALL WRONG

Video Description

In this video, I'll teach you how to make a keepsake box. Building a keepsake box is the perfect crash course in advanced small scale woodworking: veneering, vacuum press laminating, tinted epoxy fills, tight miters, and clean hinge work, all packed into one project. In this video, I turn white oak burl veneer, MDF, and walnut into a suede lined treasure box that shows how to control brittle veneer, use a vacuum press for flawless bonds, and dial in precise joinery without fancy jigs. If you are searching for practical veneer techniques, small box joinery tips, or a straightforward DIY woodworking project, you are in the right place. ▸ SUBSCRIBE! https://bit.ly/3msp0Su ▸ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/timberbiscuit ▸ Plan: Let me know in the comments if you would like plans! // FOLLOW ▸ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/timberbiscuitwoodwork ▸ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TimberBiscuit ▸ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@timberbiscuitwoodworks ▸ Website: https://timberbiscuitwoodworks.com ▸ Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/shop/TimberBiscuit Tools I use: Miter Sled - https://amzn.to/4b7GJGd Two-Sided Tape - https://amzn.to/4hRaAVY Whiteside 1/2” inch Downcut Bit - https://amzn.to/4fGhRXo Whiteside 1/16" bit - https://amzn.to/446Mgvb Masking Tape - https://amzn.to/42WMTFw Double-Sided Tape - https://amzn.to/4iESxlp Epoxy with Slow Hardener - https://amzn.to/42FAgQh Sand Sealer - https://amzn.to/44GoXZ9 Side Rail Hinges - https://amzn.to/4m5pR8b Wax Polish - https://amzn.to/44Fr3bM If you want something else, let me know in the comments!
