A fun moneybox.

This looks so fun! And you’re right- the kids would love it!

Very cool, pretty neat piggy bank indeed! Love the colors.

Fun Stuff, Ruddy!! Do you have any pre-assembly pix? I’d enjoy seeing the “Action” on this…
Well Done, my Friend!!

So they have to break that beautiful box when they want to retrieve money after saving up for something? Or is there a way to remove money without destroying such a nice piece?

As Autumn said, “You have to give us the plans for this.” This is an awesome project!

Excellent idea! If I have this right, you are using 3 magnets – 1 on the drawer and 2 on the pusher. When the pusher is up, a magnet on the pusher holds the drawer closed. When the pusher is down, a 2nd magnet with reversed polarity pushes the drawer out. A spring holds the pusher up. Very clever!

How are the coins not falling through when the draw is opened and then allowing them to fall when it is closed?
How did you work that out?

Very neat Idea..

-- Tim, Missouri ....Inside every older person is a younger person wondering what the heck happened

If I’m seeing things correctly, there’s a small pin running laterally at the bottom, front of the drawer. When the drawer is open, the bottom of the opening pushes the drawer bottom up to hold the coins. When the drawer goes in, the bottom can pivot downward on the pin to drop the coins.

-- My broker promised me he would treat my money as if it were his own. Trouble is, he did.

Nice idea, and it looks great. Would it be possible to upload a short video of the box in action? Maybe include your grandkids :)

Great design
