A box with a different kind of hinge.

This box is 1.5 x 2.5 x 2.5 inches. It is made from Redwood and Oak, with a Suede-Tex liner. The walls of this box are slightly thicker than 1/8 of an inch. I'm pretty proud of myself for coming up with the hinge on this box. Instead of a hinge attached to the back of the box, the hinge is the back of the box. I used the box joint jig I made to cut 1/4 inch 'fingers', which I rounded over and bored for a metal hinge pin, which were covered when I glued the sides on. I have since added a false floor which divides the inside into upper and lower compartments.
