Lovely work.

These are really eye catching.

Interesting work, the wooden hinges are an auto game upper, but can’t say I’ve seen a box with sidewalls before. Interesting.

Nice work.

Thanks Madmark Thanks Steve. Thanks SteveN. They were created to thin the walls,

Chunky boxes. Really like the hinges – on my list of things to try.

Thanks Madburg.

Interesting boxes, interesting details. A step up from your earlier work, Id say. I can imagine there was quite alot of hand sanding on those, maple, no less.

Curious as to how you shaped those hinges to fit the profiles. By hand tools, by machine?

Thanks Brian. My skill level at hand sanding has definitely improved over time:) The hinges are shaped with chisels and sandpaper after they are glued in their mortices. I fit them in the mortices with table saw cuts and a touch or two on a small variable speed disc grinder.

Thanks Dick.

You’ve got some shop and muscle time invested in these boxes! The hinges are a great idea, Looking good!

Thanks Splintergroup.

Really beautiful boxes Dan and the hinge is great. I have some small pieces of burl, I should give these a try.

Thanks Dave, Small boxes would look great with burl! I have a couple extra hinges if you ever want to try them.

These woods look so good – great job combining colors and grain. One of these days I may have to try wooden hinges… haven’t been bold enough to go there yet. Really nice work.
