That IS small! I didn’t realize it from the previous parts to the series! It came out quite nice and is a beautiful project. Awesome project!

wow, that is small BBM I like, Shiela, thought they were bigger. You really have a concept going here. Fascinating

I haven’t read Hitch-Hikers Guide in many years, although I do have it here someplace.
That is one fine box. Like Sheila, the box I had pictured in my mind was bigger than this. One side of my mind can do the metric conversion but the other side still doesn’t do the perspective thing very well. I think the last picture with the calipers put it in scale though.
Thanks for the joke. It did give me a chuckle.
Have you given any thought to putting a hinge on the bottom plate?
Thanks for posting it and the blog.

Well done Martyn, another great and tiny example of a great experiment.

A nice box dedicated to a great author.
Nice work Martyn.

Just like everyone else, I thought it to be larger than it is. Still I suppose there is still plenty of room for a Babel fish or two. Interesting project.

Great little box Martyn. Coincidentally I am currently reading the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. I was some of the TV series quite a few years ago too. Amusing reading.

This is quite an engineering marvel – very nice!

-- Jeff - I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

You make some wonderful little boxes. I also have never seen a sanding disk with holes.

Great choice of music for a box that is a mix of the imagination from the Hitch-hiker and woodworking
talent that is close to the work of a sorcerer from my viewpoint. Appreciated the blog that shows just
how tough it really was, even if I will never try it. Thank you for sharing your fun in the workshop with
us, because if it did not make us work a little harder, it would not be as much fun when we finally
accomplished what was impossible before we did it.

My hat is off Martyn.
Your perseverance and talent simply cannot be denied.
Nice one!

Very nice Martyn. Nice to see the new technique works.
And my, my, that is small.

Looks cool too.
