Fantastic looking cases. dude! This one is going straight to my favorites file.

-- The nicer the nice, the higher the price!

Very nicely done : )

-- When did quiet and quite become the same word ? I'm guessing about the same time as your and you're did.

I’ve seen these around before but I’ve never before seen a nicer one.

-- No piece is cut too short. It was meant for a smaller project.

Nice. How about a blog entry with the plans and construction technique?

well done .i,ve used brass wire on my boxes and had the same problem with the brass working its way out.in the last six years i have been using wooden dowels made out of hard wood in all my boxes and never had a problem,once the outer section of the dowel has been glued into the outer section of the box it do not come out.i use a pencil sharpener to make dowels from 2mm up to 6mm these dowels are strong enough for small boxes.

I actually made a box to hold a pen which I made in which the top and sides swivelled up. Not wanting to have the brass “rods” show through, I drilled the bottom rear of the center portion along with each of the sides. The sides were drilled only part way through from the inside. I then put the brass rods into the bottom, and then pushed the sides on and glued and clamped the top and sides, trapping the brass rods inside.

I’m curious about the dimensions of these cases, as well as the number of parts and order of assembly you used. It looks almost like you used a solid piece with a widened kerf (vertically on the table saw, perhaps) to hold the cards.

I bought a box of hardwood pieces from Rockler and have been trying to figure out what do do with some of the pieces. Now I know, thanks great build/concept.

I made one with plans from wood magazine using maple and walnut

Beautiful solution.
