Thanks! I'm glad I inspired you.

Thank you so much! I also love the leather/wood combination and will use it in future projects as well.

Thanks, Audrey! It's indeed perfect to get rid of scraps. Although you shouldn't underestimate the length of leather required. It's deceitfully long, because it's wrapped around the wood.

Thanks, Penolopy!

Thanks! I'm glad you like it :D

Nice build! However, I fail to see how this is an eligible entry to the Big and Small Contest.

Cool! Does it hold an edge well?

If I may quote, regarding top lid construction:'This is a method I came up with that make it look like the top is one solid piece of thick wood...''I've never seen this done before so I'm claiming at my own!' Doesn't leave much room for interpretation, does it? I would be more careful with such claims. Regardless, it's still a very nice box.

I love it! Hate to break it to you, but the lid construction method exists already. I've seen Paul Sellers use it before. Still, very ingenious of you to come up with it independantly.

Great build! I would've thought there would be a balance problem, but to my surprise it seems to work fine.

I love it, Linn! You inspired me to make a similar one. I noticed that the length/width ratio of this box is close to the golden ratio. Is this a coincidence? Or do you try to approximate it for all your boxes, so it is pleasing to the eye?

Thanks!

Is there a way to undo a stitch when you aren't happy with it? Going backwards doesn't work because then you are backstitching.

The scale is indicated on the plan, with a black bar that is exactly 10 cm. Hope that helps.

You're welcome! I'm glad you liked it.

Cool technique! You provided me with an alternative to CNC or Dremel.

You got my vote!

Great design! It puts Ikea to shame. May I suggest you enter this Instructable in the 'First time author contest'?

Looks like a fun game! I added it to my favorites.

What a beast!

Thanks!

Thanks! I'm very happy with my router and orbital sander prize.

Congrats on winning grand prize in the Reclaimed Contest!

Congrats on winning the grand prize!

By the way, you got my vote! What better item to enter in the 'Homemade Gifts Contest' than an actual gift?

Great job! I love the ribbon. The top piece of the ribbon doesn't seem to have much glue surface though. Did you use a special glue for that?

Off the top of my head, I wouldn't know how to make it stronger either. Maybe a construction adhesive for the last part? But since the bow has a decorative function, it will hold up fine as it is.

Thank you for the kind words! Grazie mille!

Merci bien! Vous avez tellement raison!

Agreed. It's almost therapeutic to work with hand tools. The racket of power tools is indeed not very relaxing :-) Glad you liked my box. I'm sure you could make one too, with a little patience.

Thanks! Good tools can be had for very little at flea markets. Usually people don't know how to sharpen, and hand tools are deemed obsolete as soon as they start to become dull. The biggest investment would probably be the wood for a sturdy workbench.

Thanks a lot!

I like to think so :-) Hope he sees this. Thanks for the vote!

I love the simplicity of the construction! I'll use this design to make a table for my scroll saw.

Thanks! Means a lot, coming from someone who just made an awesome treehouse.

Sure, use the CNC instead. Might even take you longer with programming and all. Will let you know if I'm in the neighbourhood.

That's a myth. It started in woodworking schools in the 1930s to prevent children from putting down the plane on metal objects, thereby damaging the blade. Assuming your workbench is made of wood, there's no harm in putting it upright. For more information, check out this link:https://paulsellers.com/2017/08/mis-placing-plane/

Alright, we just need to settle on a day, then :-) We're actually not so far away. I live in Belgium. I'm curious to see your CNC build.

Good overview on all methods for removing twist. Will remember this. I do sense some contempt for hand planes, since you call them cave-man style. I challenge you to a dual: you with a router sled, me with a scrub plane and smoother. I'll even let you build the sled first.

You might be right. But from the gamemakers' point of view, I can understand they needed villains and 1 supervillain. It's not up to me to discuss politics, I'm just showing how to make a box.

Amazing!

Thanks!
