Hi Everyone! Decided to try making a small 2" cube Minecraft chest as a little trinket box for munchkin. He loved it, of course, and almost immediately asked for tools to put in it, so lots of pixel counting and color testing later, we’ve got a double-sided diamond sword, pick-axe, shovel, and axe (and yes, they do all fit in the chest). The tools are two layers thick and colored on both sides.
Not only was he impressed and pleased, but also gave me my next ‘commission’…an armor stand with a full set of diamond armor. Oh boy, that’ll be interesting…
Thanks for stopping and taking a look, and until next creation, Happy Forging!
There probably is a generator for hinges, or at least hinge parts in some of the box generators out there. A while back I saw something that had this style of hinge and I was able to figure out how it’s structured, and adapted the spacing of the posts to work either on boxes like this, or for layered pieces like some of my past hinged pieces (ie: a piece that’s a total of 10 layers thick when closed, there’s square notches in the edge of layers 2/4/7/9 picture below will help). this is actually two of the hinges put side by side and one bar through the whole thing, though I got the holes in the box a smidge close together, so it’s very tight…the outer two pieces tend to flange out a little bit when it’s opened, so just a hair width or two too tight…but learn and correct!
I went and made a version of this – mostly to learn how to do hinges like this, as well as to teach myself cuttle.xyz better. Man am I loving cuttle.
Here’s the project if anyone else wants to muck about with it. I’m going to change a number of things before I cut it again though, so caution to anyone thinking they’ll just give this a go:
Mine’s not as pretty as @odzicari but was still a satisfying little box to put together.
so it looks all nice
