Open Top Box

Nice Idea!

I really like how the two woods complement each other.

Nice looking box.

How did you get the peg holes looking so orderly? A jig or by hand?

mtkate – I measured then arranged small “pilot” marks in the finished box by twisting a small drill bit with my fingers. That is much more precise than a punch or hand drill…because, I don’t know about anyone else, but I am not very accurate in placing holes with a drill all spooled up. Then I drilled the .25” holes on a drill press.

Thanks for the nice comments!

I’m sure your sister-in-law was expecting just a simple box for the cards, That’s one fancy box for 3×5 cards.
Nice Job.

Very nice box – Well done – Before I got into woodworking , I asked a coworker (was was a woodworker) to build me something similar (made of pine, nowhere as nice as yours) for my computer discs.
