Ring / Necklace Box
I just made this little ring box for my grand daughter's birthday coming up. It's made out of Pine with a special brass hinge mount. I put a blue crystal on top with blue velvet inlay on inside top and bottom. I finished with blonde shellac.
Thanks for looking!

nice ! where did you get the hinge piece from ?
working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.
I got them from Lee valley but they don't carry those anymore but they carry these. Also I've seen them on Etsy and Ebay.
Cute! Wonderful gift.
except no hinge ?

Nice job Rick!
Thanks Birdseye49 and Steve!
Very nice MrRick, great looking jewelry boxes.
I think I'm going to copy and make some of these for my 3 granddaughters for Christmas, I'm sure they'll love them. Thanks for the idea, I like.

Nice work Mr. Rick!
That hinge doohickey is a great idea, really simplifies the build not having to fiddle with getting a box hinge to fit onto a round box.
Seems like an endless list of possibilities for gift variations, hope you have a good stash of the mechanics!

Pottz... you're right? I thought that as well. BTW... the hinge I used is called a "circular hinge for round boxes" Google this phrase and you'll see many places to get these hinges. Here's one: https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/1445801586/circular-hinge-for-round-boxes-2-14

Glad you like it Oldtool. Thanks. For sure your grand daughters will love them. Go for it. Christmas is a great time for them.
Thanks SplinterGroup! I can make those hinges if need be. But there are many online purchasing possibilities.
Nice looking box. Like the hinge mount and the jewel on top. . Have 3 or 4 of these hinges from some time in the past. Not from LV. I think one of the turning sites. Not sure.

Thanks 987Ron! Tomorrow my grand daughter gets it. She'll be very pleased.
Just an update.....my grand daughter got this last night. It was her 6th birthday.
She was very very pleased. So much so that while she smiled ear to ear she also had some joyful tiny tears while running over to me for a great hug!!
Truly... it's hard to say who got the better gift.
