Thread: Pen Boxes

The boughts one's I've seen are pretty non-descript. You can sometimes get some nice scrap wood from a joinery that would do nicely.

Now you have me thinking. I have some NGR bits that I can't think of anything else to do with...

Sounds like a reasonable idea to me, except I'd be inclined to make (or at least route parts for) about 10 of them. Saves setting up the machine etc.

Yeah, if I was going to do it I would route the bits for about ten boxes to save having to rejig the router every time.
The other trick would be to buy the hinges in packs of ten and save a few dollars there.

Yeah, or buy an Incra jig and make your own hinges. You'll have to make a lot to cover the cost of the jig, but it is an incredible piece of equipment.

For the cheapskates in the family, buy the vevet sleeves at 35 c each or the plastic cases at less than a dollar.

Have a good weekend

I've done this on a case by case (pun) basis, where I have been making a special presentation case as a special gift, but it is a lot more hassle than it is worth, unless you are going to charge an arm and leg for them, or else set up to mass produce.
