Jewelry Box Kit

The complete kit is easy to assemble and includes pre-cut, unfinished walnut for the case, glass music movement cover, hardware and velvet jewelry compartment liner. Completed box measures 3-3/8'' high x 9-5/8'' wide x 6'' deep.

Also available are Music Box movements. Choose from a wide variety of contemporary, traditional or classical 18 note musical movement favorites to put the finishing touch on your composition!

Please Note: Design of box requires movement to be activated by winding key only. If lid opening activation of musical movement is desired one can omit glass piece above movement compartment.

I purchased one of these kits about a little over a year ago for my wife for Christmas. Well, I finally got around to putting it together and it looks GREAT! First off, it was very easy to assemble. To begin, I finish sanded all the parts with a Fine sands sponge, mainly just to get the planer marks out of the parts. Then I glued a short side and long side at the mitre, clamped it together with a square, and then let it dry that way you’ll know it is square. Repeat for the other sides. To assemble to two side parts together I just used a rubber band clamp and worked great. To finish the box, I put about 6 coats of Minwax Polyurethane Gloss from the spray cans on it. Inside I bought the sticky back velvet from Rockler and that works AWESOME! Just make sure you measure the pieces correctly. The only constructive criticism I have, is I wish a couple of pilot holes would’ve been drilled on the underside of the top, so you know exactly where to center the top on the box during final assemble. If you think about it the kit is pretty cheap. For about 50 bucks, you get about 15 dollars in materials, but way more than 35 dollars in labor to plane, cut, and route the box pieces. I think I’m going to buy a couple more kits so I can make and give my daughters each one when they get a little older. Thanks Rockler!
