Keepsake Box

Building a keepsake box is the perfect crash course in advanced small scale woodworking: veneering, vacuum press laminating, tinted epoxy fills, tight miters, and clean hinge work, all packed into one project. In this video, I turn white oak burl veneer, MDF, and walnut into a suede lined treasure box that shows how to control brittle veneer, use a vacuum press for flawless bonds, and dial in precise joinery without fancy jigs. If you are searching for practical veneer techniques, small box joinery tips, or a straightforward DIY woodworking project, you are in the right place.
