I was asked to make a box. She wanted a Lion on it. Then she ask if I could also put in a "magnetic latch", Like the shelf in my office.
The latch is operated by turning the lion head half a turn. Made the mistake of showing it to another person. Now I have to make another one.
Just wanted to share.

Re: Lion Box with Lock
Fantastic project and clever idea!
Did you develop the 3D model of the lion’s head and other models?
How did you do the magnetic latch mechanism?

The Magnetic Latch is from "Safety 1st" for baby proofing cabinets.
Works the same as the one for the "Hidden Shelf" (think that what it's called)
that I found on YouTube.
Re: Lion Box with Lock
That's beautiful. I love that you made the lion head the "key".
