I built this toolbox with pivoting top drawers as a test and I wanted to share it with the community. I’ve attached the SVG file that I used to make it.
I used two different types of “pivots”. The first is cutting chopsticks and then gluing ends on them once they are inserted. But this is irreversible, a pain in the butt, and also the glue sometimes dries such that the box does not pivot.
So I next used “Chicago Screws”. I used Cyanacrylate adhesive.
Nice job. I did the same design a couple of years ago for my wife’s embroidery supplies. I made a top for it and embedded magnets in the underside so she could just drop her needle on it and always know where it was.
If you do a search here (it was a “Dispatch from the front” I did with the PRU) you could grab the top design if you’re looking for one for your toolbox.
That is a very unusual combination, I have found zebrawood to be extremely flammable that a coal could live and spread on its own if it gets started. I have not seen a zebrawood plywood.
There is a company called MacBeath hardwoods in Berkeley CA that has a huge selection of plywood, they stock the Zebrawood in two or three thicknesses. But it comes in 4’x8’ sheets that I have to cut down to Glowforge size.
Very cool! I would think that 19"x 48" would be a lot easier to ship even 5 at a time. Is that Possible? Or could several of us conspire to divide up such a collection.
