Music Box
Made this for a friend that collects music boxes, it is a replica of one that he had but the case was in bad shape and I made a new one. I measured all the parts so he could fit the mechanism in which he had restored. Used original joinery such as blind dovetails - ya no kidding, lot of work for something not seen. I made a prototype to check all the joinery first. Finish is shellac french polish.

Beautiful! Not a fan of blind dovetail…they kick my butt.
Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".
Beautiful boxes, that french polish looks amazing.

another stunner tim. beautiful inlay work and an incredible finish. i agree about blind dovetails, way too much work to not even be seen.
working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.

Tim,
I have been following your in-lay work. You buy the veritas attachment base for dremel? Cary Mitchel has that in his shop.

Just a cheap dremel router base but works well.
