Hey, here's the video of the jewelry box I´ve made as a gift before Christmas. It took me nearly 35 hours in total, not counting the filming. I used walnut for the body and black cherry for the inserts. I was planning to use brass hinges, but the ones I ordered looked pretty cheap, so I decided to skip them for now and keep looking. If anyone has any tips for small, high-quality brass hinges, please drop me a line!

*Edit: Since some of you have asked which tools I used in the video, here is a list. I won't mention any brand names, just the name of the tool...
In the list, I differentiate again between absolutely necessary and convenient ;)

Absolutely necessary:
Plane
Chisels
Saws (I used a Japanese Ryoba and a Dotsuki)
Good ruler
Grinding block
Clamps
Sharp knife (for marking)
Guided grinding helper (I don’t know the correct term – the thing I used for sharpening the plane iron and for the mitre joints on brass)
Metal saw


Convenient:
Ground router
Marking Gauge
Mini Plane (for bevelling edges)

Here is a list of materials:
Walnut wood:
1000x200x10mm (1x)
1000x150x10mm (1x)
600x150x6mm (2x)
1000x10x2mm (2x)

Cherry wood:
600x150x6mm (3x)

Brass:
200x25x2mm (1x)
200x10x2mm (1x)

Sandpaper (180,240,320 for wood, 400-2000 for brass)

Wood glue
2 component epoxy glue (for brass)
Masking tape (Strong)
Felt for the inlays(I used 3mm)
Wax or oil for the finish (I used a mixture of boiled linseed oil, carnauba wax and beeswax)

I ordered the boards for the box here:
