Dave, it looks really nice. Nobody but you will notice the felt application. They will be distracted by the beauty of the box. I still look forward to seeing it with the finish applied, it's gonna be really nice. 
How did you round the corners of the box sides...sander? Same for the edge where the top and bottom fit. I would be very nervous trying to rout after glue-up for fear of tearout. Your box looks flawless!
I have worked from a picture before and can really appreciate how good your proportions look. Very well balanced.

Dave,
The box turned out awesome. I may have to come to you for some tips... my granddaughter has hinted for a jewelry box.

Dave, your box looks great. I almost never make boxes with fixed dividers because it has been my experience that unless you have sized the partitions and divider openings to suit a particular woman's jewelry they are usually not happy with how a man has decided to divide the space up. So I make my dividers removable. Doing this greatly simplifies lining the interior drawers and box bottoms. What I do is cut thin posterboard or matte board to the size of the drawer or box bottom less about 1/16" in both directions. Then I use soft fabrics such as velvet, ultrasuede or velour for my lining material. This allows you to have a variety of colors to choose from and this makes the women happy. I use spray adhesive to attach the fabric to the thin cardboard which is cut slightly oversize. Then I miter the corners and fold them to the back and hold them in place with double stick tape which also holds the liner in place. This helps eliminate the problems with the stretchable felt which only comes in a limited number of colors and textures..... Being able to finish the drawers/box bottoms without the liners or dividers in place greatly simplifies the finishing process...IMHO | |

Chuck I used my router table, and it was hard as my hands were shaking from nerves  . There was a lot of work done before I put it on the router, and I didn't want to screw it up. Got lucky this time

Big Mike, the dividers are removable, I will take them out to finish them. But I am confused as to how I could have made them adjustable. They sit in dado's in the sides and are notched where cross. Short of cutting extra dado's and notches I don't see how they could be moved to other positions. I agree with your method of lining the box, and maybe when I get skilled I will finally do it right I had the felt on hand from another box and being cheap and lazy I decided to use it, instead of getting new material (I even had to piece some of it together  )

Dave, I almost never cut dados into the sides for the dividers. The just sit in the space between the sides and ends of the drawer/box. | |

That makes sense, I usually do that also. Just a press fit, but since I got my new dado machine dailed in (RAS with nice dado set) I thought I would go that route.
But what do you do where the dividers cross, I notched mine (half lap -ish) or do you just run them one way and not have them cross?
