Hardboard Storage Boxes
|
I made some storage boxes for my workbench from tempered hardboard, 1/8-inch thick. The first prototype (covered in wallpaper and flipped upside down) has two sides raised up so that the lid is partially inset (like a cigar box). The second prototype, here being held together with blue masking tape while the glue dries will have a simpler full-overlay flip top.
Finished size of the box is 7-3/4 x 11 x 2-5/8 inches. These are the same dimensions, except shorter, as the photo/video craft boxes made from cardboard that are sold in the US.
The joints are butted together, glued with carpenter's glue. I applied a glue fillet to the inside and then ended up pasting on wallpaper to the outside of the first box. I'll probably do the same with the others.
