Make Miter Spline and Dovetail Key Keepsake Boxes
A couple of months ago we built a jig to make easy keepsake boxes that had mitered spline joints and dovetail key joints. In this video, we show you exactly how to make both of those styles of keepsake boxes.
With Christmas coming these boxes make a fantastic Christmas gift! And they are super easy! With the jig, you could easily make a half dozen of these in a weekend.
