Bing Box Changes

Post by gmmons »

I have changed or Eliminated the base of the box and used 1/4" fiber board recessed for the bottom. For the feet I used 20mm wood beads from the local hobby store and filled the hole in the beads with a 5/16" dowel. The feet now have a #4 3/4" screw extended from one end of the beads which is used to secure the 4 feet to the box. I attached the lid to the box with a Brass piano stop hinge (200mm x 9mm) I purchased from Wood Craft. Needless to say I like the looks of the redesigned Bing Box. Future boxes that I make, the short side of the sides will be extended to 1/4" inch (Same as the opposite end of the box) to give it additional strength. I will post a picture of the box when I get one made out of Walnut and the medallion will be either bleached Sugar Maple or a white "Inlace" (used in wood turning).

Have you finished your Bling Box? I'm on the lookout for some photos of your project mods (which sound great)!

I'm an "Old Goat", not much into social media. So I thank you for your interest. I have a Shark CNC and set my Z axis or cut depth to +.022 or a little over 1/64 of an inch starting cut depth and it accentuated the lines that were used in drawing the design in the lid. I really like the results and think I will keep it in mind in cutting out other projects. I made a total of 6 boxes to give to my girl friends (my grand daughters) for Valentines Day, Oh yes one is for my lovely wife of 47 years.
