Working With Steel Continued
I needed to remove the plating from both surfaces of my
washers so I used some tape to attach some 100 grit paper to my work
bench. Then I used a strong magnet to hold the washer while I moved it
back and forth. This worked pretty good but I'm glad I only had to do
eight of them.

| Working With Wood Again
It's time to work on the ring box and I'll be using the
same type of wood here, Douglas Fir. Now I did think about using some
other kind of hard wood but decided to use this so it all matches.
|
|
 |
A couple of trips through my thickness planer to just clean-up both
sides.
|
|
 |
Next I glued two pieces together to have the size I'll need.
|
|
 |
The next day I cut my work piece to the width I wanted.
|
|
 |
I used my miter saw to cut my work piece to length. In fact I made one
extra just in case I messed one up.
|
|
 |
Then I used my bandsaw to cut the ring box into two pieces. The smaller
piece will be the lid.
|
|
 |
Here is what I have so far. Now it's time to make this into a ring box.
|
|
 |
|
I'm going to use some small barrel hinges for this project.
I've used this style of hinge before and they worked well. These are
8mm in diameter (about 5/16") which gives me a little extra room to work
with.
|
|
 |
These came with small screws to hold them in with but I'm not going to
use them. In place of the screws, I'll use a dab of epoxy in a couple of
places, which should be more than enough.
