Extract from back cover of book:

The wooden box is a classic and popular woodworking project; it's fun to make and useful to have. However, crafting a box can often involve several different tools. In this book, designer and box maker Gary MacKay will introduce you to his simple techniques for making a variety of elegant and functional boxes 30 in all using only one tool: the scroll saw.

Organized in a progressive-learning format, Box-Making Projects for the Scroll Saw begins with the most basic box and works through to more complicated techniques. You'll learn to make a standard box, add drawers, create a checkerboard design, and, finally, to cut box joints, employing techniques that are usually reserved for more complicated woodworking machinery.

Projects are organized in an easy-to-follow format, accompanied by color photographs and easy-to-use patterns. There is also a chapter on wood, tools, adhesives, box lining, and more.

Your final piece will be the perfect jewelry box, complete with ring tray compartments, dividers, and earring holders a splendid gift for a loved one. They'll never suspect such a beautiful box could be so easy to make.
