Assembly (Prior to assembly, please see finishing instructions below.) Step 9. Begin by making the basic box. Use a carpenter's square to lino up all four corners, apply glue to the miter joints, and than clamp together until dry. Step 10. Next, dry fit the riser strips together on top of the box. Make adjustments as needed to line up the riser strips perfectly on the panels below Ihem. Step 11. Test fit the liner panel lor the lid (between the riser strips). Make adjustments as needed. Step 12. Assemble and attach he liner panel and riser strips to the underside of the lid with glue. There should be approximately 1/4" extending beyond the risers all the way around the edge of the lid. Clamp together until dry. Step 13. Attach the front, back, end end panels (box assembly) to :he bottom panel with glue. There will bo approximately 1/4'' of the bottom panei extending beyond the box on all sides. Clamp together until dry. Step 14. Use glue to attach the liner panels behind the front, back and end panels. Clamp together until dry. Step 15. Set the lid, with riser strips attached, on top of the box. On the back panel and back riser strip, measure and ocate the hinges on centers I-3/4" in from the outer ends of tho box. Mark and predrill holes for hinge mounting screws. Be sure to shorten screw lengths, if necessary, to prevent the tips from protruding inside the box. Attach the hinges. Step 16. Referring to the co or insel photo, install two screw eyes: one on the inside center of the riser on the left sioe, and the other inside the center of the left end panel, approximately 1/4" from the top edge. Attach a 4-1/2" ength of gole chain or cora. Finishing Step 17. There are many fine products available for fin:shing your project. Perhaps you already have a favorite. If not, we always recom mend experimenting on scrap meter iol first, rather than taking the chance of ruining a beautiful project with a terrible finish. Here's a method you might want to try: My good friend, Ron Leltenmaier, hos definitely mastered one method of finishing. He applies his finish before assembly, "hen uses Bondini gel glue to put everything together. Ron first sands his wood pieces extra smooth; next he applies a product called Minwax Pre-stain; and then he applies three coats of Minwax Urethane spray. He aliows plenty of time for drying between coats, and always ends up with whet I call "that rich, fine furni ture finish" that just beckons to be touched. Then he assembles everything with just a few drops of Bondini gel glue... and it holds magnificently!.' Whafever product you chose to use to finish your project, I'm willing to bet that someone is really going to love your jewelry box. HAVE FUN!
