Assignment 2: Making a box for an object (wood joinery)





This is the box I made for my little shaker and my drumsticks.
Process: After measuring the items i decided to make a regular rectangular box joined using miter joints. i then measured my wood and drew my plans. after cutting all my pieces i compared my items to the box and decided to make the box a bit shorted in length so the objects could have a tighter fit after the velvet was applied. then i joined it using the epoxy and wood glue. after it was dry i sanded it to make it as smooth as i could. after sanding i painted it using some high gloss paint. after painting i cut some pieces of cardboard that would be a bit smaller than the walls of the box so i could wrap it in velvet and glue it to the inside of my box. i was looking at at old fender jazz master basses and i saw one with a similar lining on the case and so i decided to make my box with a similar lining. after glueing in the upholstery i put on all the hardware and the sticker and called it finished
Materials: 1/2 inch ply wood, wood glue, epoxy, high-gloss enamel paint cardboard crushed velvet, brass hardware.
