In this video workshop, I’ll show you step-by-step how to make these two elegant wood boxes. The mitered box with splines is ideal for a woodworker who is just starting out. The mitered dovetail box is a Master Class technique for a seasoned woodworker who wants to test their skills. This workshop will include instructions on resawing boards to get a perfect four-corner match, cutting grooves, miters and mitered dovetails, techniques for making floating top and bottom panels to accommodate seasonal wood movement, assembly, glue up, installing hinges and hardware, building tight-fitting trays, and finishing.
