Jewelry ArmoireI wrote earlier about building this jewelry armoire. It started when I found the beginnings of an old project in a corner of my shop. I decided to make the abandoned case into a jewelry box. However, once I finished the outside I decided the inside of the jewelry chest was boring and not particularly attractive, so I decided to add a mirror. I began by making a frame to hold the glass. I used pegged miters for the edges and half lap joinery for the center style. Then I cut the mirror to fit. After that was done, I made a strip of quarter-round molding to hold the mirror in place. Just that small step and voila: the jewelry armoir was suddenly more interesting. It was a good reminder of the importance of details in woodworking. They can make or break a project. I have jewelry boxes and other woodwork for sale if you are interested, or feel free to contact me about custom work. If you like what you read feel free to sign up for my newsletter Wood Shop News.
