My pins seem happy to have a wood box to reside in, and they mentioned to my scattered groups of paper clips that they also might be happier to have a box for all of them. The clips let me know, so I found a good box and with some V-carving labelled the lid so the clips would know it was theirs.

The clips are delighted that they have one consolidated place to gather!

Now I just need a specific place to park this box, 😉

That is a lot neater than the rare earth magnet I'm using, nicely done.

@4DThinker Now I like that! Did you laser carve the text?

No lasers. Vcarved the text with a 60° V bit. The needle graphic was done with a fluting toolpath. The paper clips were V carved.

Ohhh... CNC.

Yep. C-ing twice is always better than once. ;)

Cool little box

Got poked by a push pin while digging through a drawer. I asked the push pin why it poked me. It replied that it was jealous of the paper clips and straight pins who have their own box and wanted it's own box so it didn't have to deal with all the other random junk in the drawer.

I complied. Push pins can't read, so the pin graphic is there for them.

I should have videoed the stampede of pins that rushed from places I had no clue they were in to collect together in this box.

Push Pins Happy. Job Complete.

There is no Alice in woodworking. The lids have rabbeted edges. The boxes themselves are the rabbet hole. 😉
