Lil' Boxes for a Jewelry Box with the JMPv2 - Box Joinery

This is part 3 of 4 chronicling making two small tray boxes for the inside of a jewelry box I made for Mother's Day.

Part one was a good introduction to the JMPv2. Part two a good introduction to the HP6v2 plane. In this part, we'll use the JMPv2 to make the small boxes. One has trivial mitered corners, the other has mitered-shoulder through-dovetails. These are cut mostly on the JMPv2 with some hand-saw work with the dozuki. Have I mentioned that dovetailing softwood is, uhm, annoying?

Part 4 will wrap it up with some gilding, finish, and lining.

Some Projects

Angle Madness! a diamond-shaped entertainment center.
Tim Burton Table a five-legged demilune that would fit naturally in a Tim Burton film.
Sculpted Mahogany Vanity a wall-mounted vanity with a granite top.
The After-Earthquake Detector a fun project with the Bridge City JMPv2; this is John Economaki's project we built as a WIA'11 demo.
A small card box was a project Charles Neil created and I needed a Christmas present :) This was the first project in the No Comment format.
Quilted Maple Picture Frame was a project for my best friend for a massive painting he got on his honeymoon.
Floating-Top Figured Eucalyptus end table was a quick one-day build; the finish took longer, naturally :)
French-knot Walnut Inlay in Cork Floor was making the landing for my stairs; super easy.
Jewelry box inserts was mostly a project to show using the Bridge City JMPv2 and HP-6v2 plane; add gilding and it's more fun.
