    Default 4 Drawer Box

    I haven't posted anything here for some time although I've certainly made quite a few boxes in the past year. This one started out as a commission that was cancelled before I started it, but as I had already prepared some wood I decided to continue with a few ideas I had. It's a simple little box (170 mm high) made from Matai with Swamp Kauri legs and drawer pulls - drawers are Kahikatea. The top section is a shallow secret drawer held in place by a magnetic latch and released by placing a coin or some other ferrous item on the top.

    That's great. Can you explain the hidden latch with a bit of detail ( and photos if possible).

    My daughter wants a secret drawer on her next item on my build list.

    Many thanks.

    Adam,

    I don't have photos but I'll see if I can get hold of the box and respond to your request. The magnetic latch is pretty crude - first time I'd tried anything like that - but it works very well and was simple to make. I'm not sure how well it will photograph but I'll do something. May take a day or two.

    A small hand sketch might do as well.

    Love the box and yes, you gave me an idea for my niece for Xmas

    That's a lovely box Rex. You certainly have an eye for design.
