For example:

Layered Hexagonal twist box

Hi, I’m Chance. [IMG_2143] I wanted to make something a bit more finished to celebrate the return of my Glowforge, here’s an idea I’d had kicking around for a while. I wanted to make a layered, magnetically-sealed dice box, but I wanted to stay away from a few things I’d seen in other people’s designs. Specifically, I wanted to avoid the look of bare layers, and I felt like all other hex boxes I’d seen made were unnecessarily difficult to open because of the way you have to pull the magnets …

Layered Mithraic box

Praise be to Sol… [IMG_5436] If you like sci fi and haven’t started Raised By Wolves on HBO, boy are you in for a treat. The religious faction (The Mithraics) are a bunch of awful patriarchal zealots, but they sure have great brand identity. I wanted to do an inlaid box and the Mithraic sun was an easy decision. Notes: In reality I wanted to make a box with an accent layer of inlaid wood. The entire box was built just to show that concept off. The woods are a mix of 1/8" and 1/16" thick…

Small layered hexagonal twist box

Hello, I’m Mike. [IMG_2374] I wanted to try another variation of the approach I used in the layered hexagonal dice box, but on a smaller scale, to test how well the method worked at small scales. Well, the answer is “this good”. I don’t have a great deal of notes on this that weren’t covered in the larger build, this was largely a refinement of the technique. Overall height 1.25" Diameter 1.9"-ish All solid hardwoods Sanded to 600 grit Finished with wipe on polyurethane Regular readers…

And for a pure laser different solution:

Bending hardwood with kerf cuts (down with living hinges!)

[IMG_8052] Maple/wenge 1/8". No veneer was harmed in the making of this box. Entire box is sanded to 600 grit and waxed/oiled with Feed-n-wax. Overall dimensions: 5 x 2-5/8 x 1-1/8" (127 x 67 x 25mm) I wanted to make a curved box, but I don’t like the look for living hinges, and I don’t want to fool with using veneers to cover them up. Enter kerf cutting. The general idea is that you remove material from the inside of your curve, and the wood can then be successfully bent. I’ll do this …
