Building a Unique Walnut Engagement Ring Box
In this video, I show how to make a solid walnut hexagonal box to hold wedding rings that I designed myself. The top of the box is on a swivel to rotate open, and is held in place when closed with a small magnet. The axle for the rotation is a simple 2 inch nail. This box will be used to carry the bands at my wedding ceremony in a few months. The rings shown in the thumbnail are my fiancee's engagement ring, and a random other ring... we haven't bought our wedding bands yet.
I started with rough walnut that I purchased at the local hardwood supplier. I chose pieces with lots of exposed sapwood because my fiancee likes the contrast between the darker core wood and lighter sapwood colors.
The creation of this box involved a combination of powertools and hand tools. For example, I used a chisel to carve out the hexagonal interior shape, and then used a flush-trim bit in my router to hog out the rest of the material.
One mistake I made in this build was not using a sacrificial piece of wood beneath the work piece when drilling out the interior wood. When the bit broke through the bottom surface, some chip-out occurred. Luckily this is covered up by the foam ring mount inside of the box, and is not visible from the outside.
Overall, I'm very happy with how this turned out. More importantly, my fiancee is happy too!
