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.
The Blood wood really stands up and yells look at me.
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?
