NARROW SLIDE BOXES

Great little boxes. Simple design, should work for anything.

Quick handy boxes to have around. Yes they are narrow sides.

... I drilled 15mm fingerhole on drillpress….

maj, If you put a finger in each box, how will you pull the fingers out through that little 15mm hole with your other 8 fingers… unless they are designed to be finger coffins with a porthole, for casting into the ocean.
Maybe you should have made the holes 19/32”.

I’ve made a few of those as gifts. They are great and I should probably have a couple of the shop.

Practical and beautiful. Nice work.

-- Live to tell the stories, they sound better that way.

LBD…you made me thinking for next round….

Some people call these “pencil” boxes. Handy for lots of things. Nice work.

For the “next round”, instead of the finger hole you could glue a strip of wood across the top end of the lid that matches the top edges of the box sides.

Nice work Ivan, they remind me of my dads lap top work table (he built model trains) he had bunch of small files in a box very similar to the ones you made.

Unfortunately, for kids now days you need to invent a small skinny computer… or maybe iPhone boxes…
