Woodsmith Metal Inlay Box Standard Plan & Premium Shop Drawings
Making a box offers a good break from typical woodworking. Boxes require a small investment in materials — often from your scrap bin. And in a short time, you have a great-looking keepsake. However, a box isn’t short on woodworking challenges. In fact, a box invites close inspection. So it pays to focus on the details, and this Craftsman-style box has plenty of details. Corner posts give it a solid stance. And a few bevels and curves keep it from looking too blocky. But it's the inlaid top that draws your attention. We used thin metal pieces to make up the pattern and we include all the step-by-step instructions to ensure it turns out great.
You can purchase the Woodsmith Metal Inlay Box standard plan or the supplemental premium shop drawings as a downloadable PDF or in a printed format that we ship to you. We highly recommend purchasing both the standard plan and the supplemental premium shop drawings for more in-depth instructions and greater detail.
This box is an eye-catching project all on its own, but the metal inlay pattern on the lid makes it even better.
Step-by-step instructions, exploded views, materials list, and more—these plans have everything you need to build your own Metal Inlay Box.
