50 Tips and Tricks for Making Timeless Wooden Boxes

Every little tip you need to know to make wood boxes. By following these tricks, you’ll be able to build insanely gorgeous boxes. These woodworking tips cover the gamut, from lumber sizes and thicknesses to methods resulting in the perfect glue up. Heck, they even cover joinery! Anyone who is interested in getting into the workshop and making their own wood box should consider some of these tips before cutting the first board.

Wood boxes are favorite of mine. Each design presents a unique set of challenges that help to hone problem solving and woodworking skills. The end result is not just satisfaction for a job well done, but also a versatile item that can be used around the home or given away as a gift.

You can make this box project using premium materials, sparing no expense to ensure the final results are breathtaking. Alternatively, you can make a fantastic version of this wood box from a 2x4 pine stud. I’ve done it myself!

If you want to try making a new style of box or switch up your tried and true methods, give these a shot! Here’s the plans:
