I have a few questions, if you wouldn't mind helping me with. I am a beginner taking on a watch box project with a similar idea. Are the dividers glued together in the grid form using overlap joints with a little wood glue? Or how do they hold on to one another? Is the grid free in the box or did you glue it down some way? Thanks again. I appreciate the inspiration and help. The jewelry box looks amazing. I have a few questions, if you wouldn’t mind helping me with.

Although it is only rated to plane down to 3/16", I went down to 1/8" anways. On the last couple passes, I took very small bites, around 1/64". The 1/8" thickness is only due to the fact that this is the kerf of the TS blade I'm using. Make sure to measure your kerf by running a piece through the blade on end half the width of the dividers you plan on using. This will simulate cutting the slots in the dividers. Now measure the kerf on the piece you just cut and plane your wood to that thickness. This method will acommodate and wobble or run-out in your blade compared to it's advertised kerf if that makes sense. I am by no means tellin you to ignore your planer specs and plane thinner than recommended. Never do something you are not comfortable with or feel safe with. I hope this helps. If you have any other questions, you can E-Mail me at hscrewdude@comcast.net. Good luck with your project. I use a Delta Shopmaster portable planer.

LOL The lining was the worst part. Next one I will try flocking. I already have requests for three more similar units with some mods to each. Time to start brainstorming again as I don't uuse plans. I fly by the seat of my pants so to speak. Thanks for the compliment and It's always nice to hear from fellow woodworkers. I learn a lot from you guys.

That's my very next purchase. I liked your box - a lot of space for stuff and a mirror to boot. The whole thing looks very solid. I'll bet the lining was tough to do. It looks great. Hey Bob.

I used a Delta 12 1/2" thickness planer for the dividers. I know the instructions say 3/16" min but I never follow directions! Take the last couple passes at 1/64" and it works great. I cant speak for someone elses planer, but my Delta shopmaster did it. Don't do it if you aren't comfortable with it. The only reason for the 1/8" is that's my blade kerf and it made cutting the interlocking slots easier. If you have any other questions, feel free to e-mail me hscrewdude@comcast.net P.S. Good luck with your project. I hope to see pics when it's finished. Bob Thanks for the kindness Eric. I used a Delta 12 1/2″ thickness planer for the dividers.
