Little Side Project..

[Scrappile]

My wife showed me a picture a couple days ago of a little pin storage box and asked if I could make one for her... So I did...  Made out of oak. The lid swivels on a brass rod to open and as soon and my order comes I will put a magnet in the lid and a piece of rod in the base to hold the lid closed... If she drops a pin, she can easily remove the lid and use the magnet to pick up the pin...

nice.  I like functional pieces. 

what other items need to separate compartments?

cuff links, (out of style)

hearing aids , 

Contacts,

earings,  nose rings, 

2 part epoxy,

 

Anyway the oak does look good.

Great little box Paul! Don’t use brass rod for the magnet though, brass is non magnetic

No the brass rod is just a pivot point..  I use it because I have a lot.... I will use steel or some such rod for the magnet to attach to..

Paul,

   You can't loose if you are doing something for Patti that  will make her sewing a little nicer. You always do such great work. I love to see your posts and the new things you have in your basement, every time I visit with you.
