So everything went relatively smoothly on my jewelry box. The acrylic inside I cut on the laser cutter and weld-oned the pieces together very patiently. I made a compartment area on the top for little pieces of jewelry, it is removable. When you pull this piece out you see a large compartment underneath. The frame is made with 1/2 ID copper tubes. I cut them sanded, buffed them and then glued them together with 50 minutes epoxy. The cap for the project was made out of sheet copper. I cut it rectangular and then rounded the edges to match the tubular frame. I then used the acid etching to etch a very large coy fish into the face plate for the box. I bolted the face plate onto the box. The last five percent of my project is taking me way too long! All I need to do is rivet the hinges in place but I bought the wrong size rivets twice and am waiting on that to put the final touches on the piece.
