Wow. I've been looking for a workshop like this for ages and this never popped up on my radar. That's awesome. I'll definitely be checking it out. Looks like there are quite a few in Adelaide.
For a little more information, this is basically what I'm building:

When the box is folded there will be a pewter medallion on the top which when twisted springs out and engages a gear which opens the latch. A magnet hold's the latch closed while the game is open, and when you close it it you turn the medallion the other way to break the magnet, latching the box, then push the medallion back in and rotate again to lock and hide the mechanism.
It's probably more complicated than it needs to be, a simple box lock would probably suffice but I wanted something with a little mystery to it
