Project Information
Another box. My goals were:
1/4 wenge body has 3/8" roof and floor with 1/8" dado fit into body then 1/4" rounded over at the router. Some really nice solid brass hinges from the local hardware store are surface mounted. Rockler provided nice solid brass knobs for the ribbon latch stays.
my goals accomplished
please enjoy and become inspired to do more
- to use 1/4 inch Wenge boards I had left over from the floating shelf project
- improve box jointing skills on hard/chippy wood (wenge) using the Incra router table
- round over more, like the boxguy
- do a severe contrast for top and body (maple and dark wood)
- try to clock the screws on brass hinges (somewhat successful)
- flock the interior (getting better at this)
- trust but verify latch, tie your ribbon bow special and you'll know if another peaked into your box
- take good pictures
- give my wife a place to keep her coins and gems.
