I just finished a video that details the construction of a neat little box I made for my wife as an anniversary gift.
This box has some unique features that make it special. Check out the video and leave a comment on the site and let me know what you think of the project.
The video can be accessed here:

I actually made two of this style box (one as prototype). Here’s a link to the photo galleries of each box:

Nice work, the top is really special and the quadrants really make it better still.
