Introduction: Wooden Playing Cards Box

A wooden Box to hold an array of playing cards. Includes an opening to see inside.

Supplies

  1. 1/8 inch plywood
  2. Svg file
  3. Fusion
  4. Laser Cutter
  5. Sanding File

Step 1: Ideation

I based my design on similar models on sale online, but I wanted my box to be horizontal instead of vertical to look more aesthetic in my living room side table drawer.

Step 2: Digital Design

I used a video on youtube with my own dimensions to base my model off of. I have designed a sun in my past projects and I love to incorporate it in almost any project I make and thought it would be nice to have an opening to see which card games are inside without having to open the boxes individually.


Step 3: Fabrication

After designing the item on Fusion, I laid it out flat and created it into an SVG file that I then laser-cut. Next time, I would make it a better fit since it was slightly too tight.


Step 4: Finishing

After laser cutting the items, I filed some of the tabs so it would be easier to fit the pieces together. Thankfully, it didn't need any extra support. The final product was achieved.
