You sure met the criteria of “something unique”. I have lurked here for weeks, but I just had to join and speak-up. Excellent work!

Nicely done. A unique idea for storing a Dremel tool.

I love making small boxes. I also made a box with wooden hinges and while setting up the 12 for christmas I dropped the box and the hinges flew off the box like they never belonged there. I am making recipt boxes for the family and friends.
Yours look tuffer than my. Tell the friend not to drop the box or the same may happen to her.

Nice project.

I bought one of those multi-purpose tools, like a dremel tool and a full size router had a baby. I swear to god the guy who packed that thing into the case had a degree in physics or something. I can never properly close the lid AND get the whole cord back inside at the same time, it’s maddening. I think I need to build one of these…

Neat idea on the latches, I love things like that that stretch my thinking a bit!
Quint, i hear ya: One of the things I now evaluate new tools on is “can I take it out of the case to look at it, and easily get everything back in”. I figure if they engineer that right, then they’re probably getting other details right. And, yes, this policy is born of a few tools on my shelf.

Love the hinges an latch. I want to try wooden hinges on a future project. I have Walnut, Maple, and White Oak on hand. I am wondering which would be the strongest?
