I have always wanted to do this, finally figured out in my head how. This is a red cedar box that utilizes hinge joints on the corners,lid,hinges,latch,and handles. Also has some fun features incorporated into the design.

I will show a step by step making the basic box.

Drilling trhe holes for the pins in wood hinges was always a PITA. When Incra first cam out with it, I wanted one so bad I could taste it, but paused at the price. sometime later it was on sale $20. off so I pulled the trigger on it and never looked back. Sure glad I did, it sure speeds up the drilling operation and has more possiblities than the jigs I was making.

Rockler,Grizzly, and WoodPecker sell it now too.
