This jewelery box was made for my granddaughter Aveline. The dark wood is African Padauk and the lighter wood is bird’s eye and hard maple. The drawers are cherry and the drawer handles are Swarvoski ruby crystals, Aveline’s birthstone. The drawers are lined with velvet. The box was finished with three coats of urethane buffed with 0000 steelwool.

Regardless of the board’s grain, this jointer produced excellent results. Its fence was totally flat, worked smoothly, and locked well, staying in place even after jointing multiple edges.

The big motor on this collector left the chamber under my jointer very clean. You’ll need help to get this heavy unit onto its bracket, but if you’re looking for a central dust collector that won’t gobble floor space, this may be the unit for you. Strangely, this huge unit comes with the smallest plastic chip bag, but you can replace that with a taller one from Rockler.
wow this is one of the most attractive jewelry boxes I've seen. I've been hunting around for designs (want to build my niece one) and I think this is it. Any idea what issue of Finewoodworking has the plans? I'm more then willing ot buy the backissue if still available.
