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!

Very nice, I like your latch.

-- It’s not so much what we know that causes the trouble, it’s what we know that’s not so.

Nicely done. A unique idea for storing a Dremel tool.

-- ...it's rennovation time!!!

That is really cool. Let me add my voice to those saying well done on that clasp. Thanks for sharing.

Never saw anything like it. Love it! Really cool latches, bet you have everyone thinking.

Nice Idea for the latches I will copy it next time I make a box.Alistair well the best sense of flattery is too have your work copied by others lol

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.

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?

Cool Box

-- Jim, Kentucky

Very nice box. As most have already said, I really like the latches and hinges.

-- Brian, Lebanon PA, If you aren’t having fun doing it, find something else to do.

Now that’s a 10 on the Cool-O-Meter. Well done!

-- There's no tool like an old tool...

bloodwood is amazing…nice box!!

welcome, hinges caught my eye, would you teach us how to build these hinges? or any wooden hinges?

-- tool time tim aka "cobra5"

Great Job!!! Love the hinges.

-- Dennis Zongker

Fantastic job on the the whole project. While the hinges are the most striking of design, the dovetails and custom fit interior are close second. This box will be emulated for years to come.

That’s a real nice box. The hinges and latches are a great feature.

I think we’re gonna see a few more latches like that around here. Nice!
