Project Information

While rummaging around in my basement, I came across four sides to a box that I had begun about ten years ago.
They had been cut to length and marked for cutting the box joints… and then abandoned until yesterday…
The four Maple sides were coupled with some Mahogany to make a quick, simple box, and then today the top was cut off and small, Mahogany hinges were added… It had been a long time since I made Hinges of this kind, and these were very small ones (they're not the prettiest ones, but they sure work nice!)

Mike, nice work I especially like the hinges. I like splines over box joints, but that is just a matter of personal choice. This will certainly be a sturdy box. Just by way of sharing ideas you might look here for more about finger lifts. Good idea to take this project out of the "Time Out Corner." Keep boxing and keep posting.

Thank You Al and Jon!
I was thinking of you when I made this Alan… I already had a round-over bit in my "router table set-up" from the headboard project, so decided to run this through and make it "more like a used bar of soap" as you once commented… I hope you are doing well too my Friend!

Thanks very much Lew! It is a pleasure to do some work in the shop rather than on it for a change
