Our hobby box utilizes some clever new hardware to solve the problem of keeping all your supplies in one place. Designed along the familiar lines of a fishing tackle box, the main tray is long enough to store items such as paint brushes or knitting needles. The two smaller trays are perfect for paint tubes, sewing needles and so on. There also is an area below the main tray that's big enough to store art pads, notebooks or other larger supplies.

An available hardware kit includes a piano hinge, the three-tray support kit with screws, a half mortise chest lock with two keys, connector bolts and cap nuts.

Continuous Grain Box (from Today's Woodworker Issue #9)

Having the grain wrap all the way around a box seems like an impossible trick, right? Not so. This plan will show you how to achieve the impossible and build a great gift box.

The secret to wrapping grain around all four sides of a box is... explained in detail in this wonderful plan. With splined, mitered corners and a simple rabbeted lid, this elegant box makes a sensational gift and a great conversation piece. Plan includes ten detailed illustrations.

Memory Box (from Today's Woodworker Issue #53)

With a little setup you can build as many of these great gifts as you like, each one designed to safely store and display a family's most treasured photos.

The key to this plan is a scroll sawed hardboard template for the lid. Once that's completed, you can rout piece after piece and they'll all be absolutely identical. The sides are made of a single molding designed to look like a built-up assembly, and the interior is divided into four sections with a pair of half-lapped dividers. Finish off the inside with a coat of velvet flocking (all instructions included). A wonderful gift!
