Does This Count Towards My Merit Badge?

That looks like a bold attempt to cover all bases at once, end grain for the end grain boys, wooden hinges for the wooden hinges caucus, box joints for the joiners and recycled wood for the eco- aware. Did I miss anything?

You should get a whole sleeve full of badges for this one.

Nice box.

you forgot the fact that it’s a box! now if only it had a turned pen inside… XD

What an interesting combination! I know the end grain took some time, haven’t seen this combination. Nice job

I nearly missed this one… the hinge is the one that I like to try. Now, it is proven that it works. This box is really a product of all skills of the maker. Thanks

Sorry, but it is an 1/8 inch too small, otherwise you would be a merit badge ;-)) As has been said, I can’t think of a base you missed on this one!! ;-)) Good job.
