the lid is on a simple pivot. I have some minor joinery issues to resolve. I will do another one tonight and see about loading some better images in a couple of days

Looking good so far. Nice box joints.

thanks. I'll get those tightened up a little and inset the bottom on the next ones. I'm not very good at figuring stuff out on paper in advance. I usually have them evolve and then do a run of twenty or so.
looking good !!
Fancy cigar shops often sell empty cigar boxes and some of them are well constructed and cheap. You might find some box ideas there.

Ah yes cigar boxes are great. They are one of those things that I like to hold in my hand before I buy. However with the isolation of my job combined with the isolation of my home, I make boxes most of the time. It is however not anywhere as cheap as cigar boxes. Some of them have great joinery buried under the label too.
I'm attaching a link for a box, just as an example. For the price, it ain't too bad. But then, if you buy enough other stuff, you get free shipping!!

yup. that is a great example of a descent box thats cheaper than the material to make one
