October 15, 2025Oct 15 Author I needed some M6 Flat Head screws. They came in a crappy plastic divided box. Thought I'd try and give the screws a better home. Walnut scrap. Lid is a salvaged stick of weathered wood from an outdoor wood chair. Thick enough that I though it could use an added function. Obviously as a snug fitting top. Also as a parts tray: To keep all the hardware for the current project contained in one tray. 4D Edited October 15, 2025Oct 15 by 4DThinker

This project started with a glued up pine block made from a long slice off the side of a 2x-something. All was going well until the perimeter cut when the block came loose and got ruined by the spinning bit. That block I had wedged in place as it was barely larger than what I wanted to cut. The unusually slippery sides I'd added friction tape to to keep it in place. Apparently the direction and vibration of the 1/4" end mill cutting the perimeter loosened the wedge which I didn't notice until I heard unusual (bad) sounds and a clunk of the board to the floor from my CNC.

November 4, 2025Nov 4 @4DThinker I apologize for being late to the party, but your boxes are amazing. I really like the concept. I have tons of cut offs from my plaques that I make with my LongMill CNC machine. I have always wanted to attempt a box like yours but haven’t gotten there yet.
