Project Ideas

Business

Faux Beam and Column Wraps

Produce custom lock-mitered beam and post wraps for builders and remodelers. Seamless corners mimic solid timber while hiding laminations and fasteners; offer site measures, stain-matched finishes, and quick install kits.


Flat‑Pack Box Kits

Sell pre-machined DIY kits (keepsake boxes, humidors, urns, planter sleeves) with lock-mitered edges pre-cut. Customers just add glue and tape for a square assembly. Offer personalization, wood species choices, and wholesale options for gift shops.


Contract Drawer Box Production

Offer modern, smooth-sided drawer boxes with lock-mitered corners for cabinet shops and furniture makers. The joint self-aligns, speeding assembly; provide options in maple, birch ply, or MDF with clear finish and custom sizing.


Lock Miter Setup Gauges & Jigs

Design and sell precision setup blocks/gauges that index cutter height and fence position for common stock thicknesses (1/2, 5/8, 3/4, 1 in). Bundle with printed instructions, video access, and test shims to reduce trial-and-error for customers.


Workshops and Online Courses

Run paid classes teaching safe, repeatable lock miter setup on router tables, covering bit height/fence alignment, material selection, and production workflows. Upsell project plans, material kits, and your branded setup tools.

Creative

Waterfall-Grain Keepsake Box

Resaw and wrap a continuous grain around a small box using lock-mitered corners for invisible end grain, crisp edges, and easy glue-up. The interlocking profile self-aligns, making it ideal for 1/2–3/4 in stock; add a rabbeted lid and felt-lined interior.


Four-Sided Lamp Column

Build a hollow, square lamp base or floor lamp column from four lock-mitered panels. The joint increases glue surface for a rigid, rattle-free shell and hides seams on all corners; route wire channels inside and add a weighted base.


Shadow Box Display Case

Create a deep display frame with lock-mitered corners so the exterior shows clean, uninterrupted grain. Dado the interior for a glass front and a backer panel; add French cleat hanging hardware for a gallery-quality presentation.


Modern Planter Sleeve

Make a sleek square sleeve to slide over a plastic planter. Lock miters keep corners tight and moisture-resistant when sealed, and the seamless exterior lets you showcase figured hardwood or veneered panels.


Hi‑Fi Speaker Enclosures

Construct rectangular speaker cabinets with lock-mitered corners for airtight, vibration-resistant joints. Add internal bracing and a removable back panel; the clean exterior is perfect for veneer or high-gloss finishes.
