Flower Shape Box

Hi Ed, That is really cool. I’ll have to learn to do pin routing. There is no end to the designs you can transfer that way! Thanks for showing us another neat project!!

To take it to the next level, I would hide the pivot. I have seen boxes with swivelling lids secured by rare-earth magnets – one pair for the pivot and a smaller pair for the lock. They are not visible from the outside.

Thanks Guys.

FlairWoodworks,
That is a very good suggestion. I thought of it a bit too late. The drilling of the holes for the dowels or pegs should have been done before gluing the pieces together so that alignment would be less problematic. When I make the next odd-shaped box I will know better. Thanks for the suggestion.
