I made this in the winter but forgot to share it here!
My wife wanted a new bread box for our kitchen, and I had a bunch of imperfect plywood sitting on a shelf, so I tackled the project using only my Glowforge!
Every panel was laser cut from 12x20", 1/4" thick sheets. There are tabs and slots that held the whole thing together while the wood glue dried, so I didn’t need any clamps. The only parts not made on the Glowforge were two hinges, a magnetic latch to hold the door closed, and the pull handle.
Finished it measures 16" wide, 11" deep, 11" tall with a removable shelf.
I love it!
It’s great that you gave us the dimensions, so that I couldn’t ask if it’s bigger than a bread box. Hehe.
This is really really really cool.
Hey, Dan… I’ve been wondering about how to connect two pieces of 1/4" maple plywood together with hinges. Have you found hinges that can be used with screws that won’t go all the way through the 1/4" thickness?
I doubled up the wood so there’s 1/2" where the hinges get screwed in. That’s the extra strip of wood you can see at the bottom of the door in the picture of the open bread box.
