Cubistic grease box
with rare earth magnets lock and hinge.
Now he lost it! The vintage architect has grease on his mind, and it’s all becoming a little blurry…
1. Here it is open and full of wonderful bees wax.
2. A cubic block of wood, marking the line, the sawing.
3. Two half matching holes (as well was possible).
4. Glue the magnets in place, two in level with the wood, one over, one under. Epoxy as always.
5. Making a hole.
6. Nice little family!
The lock; the magnets are simply glued in level with the wood on lit and box.
The hinge; the magnet in the lit sticks out app. 1,5mm, the magnet in the box are app. 1,5mm under.
Works surprisingly well!
Here the original mafe grease box.
Hope it can be to some inspiration,
Best thoughts,
MaFe

mafe, you must have a lot of grease you need to get rid of. LOL! Nice box. I too like to use these powerful magnets to hold box tops on.

Nice one Mads. Looks a bit lit the one I made last weekend:
Although mine uses a small dowel as the hinge and just one pair of neodymium magnets to keep it closed.

i made a box like that some time ago and have one comment to add:
CHECK THE POLARITY OF THE MAGNETS BEFORE GLUING!

Hi,
Debbie, yes or lip balsam.
Moshel, wonderful, I did check that, but the lit came close to the box while the glue was not hard yet, so wupti it fly out and I had to be fast.
James, beautiful box you made.
Napoleon, you can have some from me.
Dan, yes make one!
Dave, no I feel really guilty, it’s the second time now…

Mads, you might have to think of a photo-studio with a pre printed background with all the little nick-knacks on pipes, wines, espresso’s, kerf-makers, marking knives to take your final pictures.
Nice post. I still need to work on making my own. I don’t know how I am getting through life without a grease pot, but I have…... BUT I do not have the addiction either yet.
Be good, Pabull.
