Being the woodworker, maker...whatever you want to call me....that I am, it is in NO way appropriate that my kids are going to school with plastic pencil boxes, they need some SWEET wood ones! In this video I share with you the magic of woodworking joinery and build three pencil boxes that function and have the same exact form factor but are made using completely different joinery methods.

I actually made 5 boxes but didn't want the video to get too out of hand so I only show off three different woodworking joints. One joint, used for three boxes, is miters with splines for reinforcements, one box with box or finger joints, and one box with hand-cut dovetails. To make things pop each of these boxes was made with a different combination of wood species.

Started by milling all the wood from rough stock down to the 3/8 and 1/4" materials that I needed for the boxes. Used a combination of the jointer, bandsaw, planer, miter saw and table saw to break down all the materials. That moved on to each of the joinery methods starting with the miters, then box joints and lastly the hand-cut doevetails. Was really pleased with the results of all the different joints. Being the second time I have made a project with dovetails I must say they came out pretty well!

All the boxes were finished with a few coats of rattle can spray lacquer and rustic bronze hinges and locks added for a finishing touch.
