A Simple Box

It turned out great Mike. All the worry, concern and effort paid off. The hinges are so unique and striking. I am certain your Mom’s friend will love and cherish it.

Those hinges remind me of the old child’s nursery rhyme

Here’s the church, Here’s the steeple. Open the door and see all the people.

Nice build.

Those hinges are the best you have posted yet. I really want to try them but I’m still studying how to do them with all power tools. I think I’m about there: saw the shape on the bandsaw, OSS to sand/shape, drill press, and done? Your stuff always impresses me with your innovation. This will be a great gift after you fill it with candy YOU MADE!

Simple box and yet outstanding revealing the intricasy of box joint and specially the hinges. The best method of a hinge is really the clampshell style making a good pivot and opening limit as what you had done.
God bless.
