I don’t know exactly what I’m doing on this site as my pictures seem to be chopped off, but I have finally gotten it together to post the article I wrote in Fine Woodworking in 1980 about a flip open box on my blog. This is defionitely not my original design, and I can’t remember how it all came about that I started making them, but I did write the article.

This is a nice box. Thanks for the link to the construction pdf as well.
