Alistair first time I have seen a box with such massive wooden hinges. Which wood is used for such work. The box itself is so nice. A picture of open box would have been a good addotion. Hope to see more projects from you.

Beautiful! Clever! Unique!

Just curious…
Did you drill the hole… then cut it out on a scroll saw?

Very handsome box, Alistair!! I like the contrasting, sturdy looking hinges! Nice base too… Could you have made those box joints any more precise? Those are perfect!! Great build all around, my Friend!!

Alistair, why don’t you post this and your celtic cross in your projects section? Then they won’t get buried as these threads inevitably will as they get old.

And, the box joints look good with the darker end grain.

-- Measure twice, then try to figure out which one was right.

That’s just beautiful Alistair!

-- Dudley Young USN Ret.

...and Alstair tell us what you intend to put in the box. That’s as important as the box.

-- Tony

very nice mate

-- cut it saw it scrap it

Alistair That is a great looking box. I was wondering if the crass grain gleing of the hinges and the box side would cause any problems.

Are the hinges fully glued or just at a couple of points?

Wow thanks guys fully glued and no probs so far it is made with a wooden dowel I made on the lathe going through the hinges and all cut to fit.
