Oval Jewelry Box
What do these three beautiful boxes have in common? Each of them features a simple template routing technique.
As woodworkers, we like to give gifts, and small projects fit the bill perfectly. But just because a project is small, doesn’t mean it doesn’t pack in some great woodworking. This set of three boxes offers some great techniques. One of my favorite is the process that is used to create the recesses in each box. It combines a router with a few simple templates to give you a great looking product.

There's No Point Box
There's no mystery behind the name of this project—it's a drawer box with no point on top—which makes it perfect for sitting a little something on it and some beautiful jewelry, mementos, or even a nice set of socket drivers inside.

A military-issued flag is an heirloom to be treasured. This case serves as a worthy resting place for a commemoration of service.

Imperial Plans
The United States Customary System of Units (USCS or USC), more commonly referred to as the English or Imperial system, is the standard set of units for our plans. It uses inches and feet for measurement. This is the one you probably want if you are in the United States, and it is the one we have traditionally offered on this website.

Metric Plans
The International System of Units (SI), more commonly referred to as the metric system, is the alternative set of units that we have available for some of our plans. It uses millimeters, centimeters, and meters for measurement. This is the one you probably want if you are outside the United States. These plans are provided by our business partner, Australian Woodsmith, and are based on the original Woodsmith plan. However, dimensions and other elements of the plan may vary between the metric and standard versions. Be sure to double-check the plan before building.


Premium Plans
All of the information that you need to build our plans can be found in the standard plan. However, if you want even more granular detail to make your job easier, you should consider our premium plans. These come with additional shop diagrams that we drew when creating the prototypes. Shop drawings are not available for every plan.
