Summary

Introduction

I remixed this design to extend the lip of the lid to give you something to grab onto.

For now, I'm just using a rubber band for closure.

Materials

  • 1/8" (3mm) plywood (I used Baltic birch)

Special instructions

  • Try to cut the hinge in the direction of the grain, so it's easier to bend.
  • Use a damp (not dripping) paper towel to wet the hinge area. This will allow the hinge to bend without breaking. Use a rubber band to hold the hinge closed while damp to allow the wood to retain this position.
  • Glue and assemble, then clamp as needed.

Location and device

Cut at HackPGH on a WKLaser LC6090.
