The box is made from reclaimed wood, and she is super happy with it.
FYI - In .y experience it’s a bit small for a good seed collection.
The proper size would be around 1/2 of your house.
I appreciate that you did the hinges properly instead of just screwing them to the back.
I tried doing them properly, but managed to fuck up the alignment. So what you are seeing is a fix, they are actually mounted on the out side. Sorry to disappoint you.
But your next hinges will be better yet. And I learned what to do the next time I mess up my hinge install. Which is likely the next time I attempt a hinge install. 😉
And here I am, keeping my seeds in recycled baggies in an old cigar box. :)
It’s beautiful, and such a sweet thing to do for your wife!
Thanks for the kind words!
How did you do the hinges like that?
You try to do them on the inside, fail , then mount them on the outside and insert different color of wood to make it seem intentional.
I am also a master of Wabi-sabi
dang, super nice! great inspo to get motivated for my next project
Thanks so much! And nice to know my work inspired someone.
Great idea. I might copy it.
Yes please do! I didn’t make any plans for it just sort of designed it as I went. Otherwise I would have shared the plans.
If you like sharing, (in the future) you can always take photos and put it up on instructables.com.
