30 Oct, 2008 jewelry making instructions

Im talking about, boxes, a jewelry box in particular, but I would't mind if you told me how to make other things like chests or something so I can get a feel for building.

Basically if you have any tips, great, otherwise I think I'm really looking for plans, instructions, diagrams with measurments written on them, something like that.

For the jewelry box, I would like to start by looking at some retail ones, then looking at various plans for them and then adapt some of my own ideas into one. Thanks in advance!

Check around, there is usually a wood working club or group that meets monthly in most cities. They love to teach folks how to do wood working.

In regard to SMALL; "Michaels" certainly sells books and materials for such projects. Larger project books can be found at Home Depot or Lowes; very often with measurements and at least "Exploded" views/images.

Beyond that; if you just want an online approach; try using the WEB; your browser box, and keywords in a search. You'll find hundreds of related sites; from miniature to grand scales in all manner of crafting and constructing.
