Jewelry/Music Box

[Bob Beaupre]

Custom made polymer clay on a Areo pen kit

The first picture is a notch cut with the dremel to allow the spring of the music box to attach to the plunger.



This is the bottom and the well that I had to drill to handle the winding key.



The music box movement.



And getting ahead of myself I cut the felt inserts.



I've never tried flocking. Has anyone?

Looking nice

Today I made the little legs, installed the hinges, finish sanded and applied a coat of finish.



Next day in the shop I'll re-sand the pieces and re-coat with the Minwax Antique Oil. Then I will assemble it and put on a final coat of finish.

Thanks Bob. Projects are getting cleaned up, just a salad bowl to go. I already have a big cherry blank.

It's not going to be segmented??

Bob everything I do on the lathe now is segmented. This salad bowl included, it will have 1 segment!

OK smart A$$

Put the third coat of Minwax Antique Oil on today. The Padauk seems to be absorbing a lot of finish and not yet building up. I'll try another coat tomorrow and see how it looks. I didn't notice this on my Flower bowl that had padauk in it as well.

 

[Bob Beaupre]

Your working with bigger pieces??

 

[Glenn McCarron]

All done now. Put it all together this morning. I added the small chain as I thought where the top overlaps the base it will put a lot of stress on the hinges if it is opened to far. The chain restricts it but the cover will still stay open. The box is for a young child.

Nice job Glenn, looks very nice

Thank you Bob. Another fun project.
