Hinges on the Botttom Box

Project by AllorNoThumbs posted 12 days ago 664 views 11 times favorited 19 comments Add to Favorites Watch

Looking for a different way to easily hinge a box without cosmetic appearance and this is how it turned out. I had to put a base on it to give the lid clearance to open. It is only about 4” square made from a small piece of removed wood from a different box and a walnut for the lid. I took a piece of the cut out from this box and incorporated it into the walnut lid. Just make sure you leave the back part of the lid towards the bottom thick enough to get hinges on. Poly finish.

-- Uhhh...I forgot what i was going to say.

Nice design. I like the way when it’s closed, you don’t see the hinges.

Keep it up.

This is a pretty interesting box. The hinges are unique and imaginative.

Nice job.

That’s a great idea. I like the fact that the hinges are concealed. Beautiful work.

Unique idea and a very nicely designed and constructed box. You should be very proud of the hinge idea. We have seen many boxes on LJ, but none with a hinge set-up like yours.
