Nice looking box. I like the swing lid design.

Keep it up.

nice jewelry box, like the swing lids too.

Sweet, nice job

I love these boxes and especially the swivel lids. I have been looking in catalogs for this kind of hinge but can’t seem to find them.. What are they called?

Thank you!!

The hinge is very simple. I just drilled a small diameter hole, put a plastic washer between the lid and box then just nailed in a brass pin. I left it a little bit loose so that it would swing easily. The Pin shaft was a thin diameter and the head was a little bit bigger so that it would not pull through. Hope this gives some insight on how I did this.

Those swinging lids are really cool, thanks for sharing your technique.
