For Coytee, 1/8" dowel's in place of screws, with epoxy inside a channel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted October 13, 2018 Author Share Posted October 13, 2018 I bought some Zebrawood, Birdseye Maple and Ebony. Enough to build two boxes, essentially identical to the picture in the first post. I paid over $300 for the wood alone. Might depend on what you make it out of?

I'm not sure if windashine is suggesting a pivot hinge, or something else. Regardless, here's an example of a pivot hinge using brass pins: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted October 13, 2018 Author Share Posted October 13, 2018 Interesting. Not sure that I would have come up with that idea!!! (actually I AM sure!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted October 13, 2018 Author Share Posted October 13, 2018 Here's a preliminary of what they will look like. I'm waiting for the glue to dry on other box. I just got done rough sanding this one. Interesting how sanding changes the color a bit of the Ebony. They say it will change back (darken). (shrugs shoulders) I DO like the look of the Zebra wood when I dampened it to wipe the glue off. I told the wife I was thinking on filling in the front of the Jubilee's with this. She just rolled her eyes. Now I have to find something to do with the Birdseye Maple. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Most ebony is dyed to make it totally black, especially guitar fret boards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windashine Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 on the first page & post I made, please scrap that idea lol, I tried to make a drawing for a hidden piano hinge, but realized after looking at my drawing, given the design of the lid.... wait a minute, one more question... if you want a lid that will not open, I'm back in business, but next we'll need to modify a hidden track, where the lid is pulled forward about an inch, then it'd lift open !!! but somehow, through this design process, I can indicate that a ---> ahhh… "NO", is forthcoming... just posting an inoperable drawing, and then another idea, which would definitely separate your next box from the other's, for your consideration..... compliments of a google search...

windashine Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 it seems that a sunday morning search and read mission is slightly offset for a conclusion at this juncture... so I was thinking that a couple of felt lined wooden rest blocks over your hinges, on top, would facilitate an angled resting point... but, you know, anything with wood, is possible... if you have 5 minutes and a cup of coffee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted October 14, 2018 Author Share Posted October 14, 2018 It amazes me the various things people can do with their skills. (I realize I don't even rate as a simpleton) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK; bought a case off FleaBay by "eternal-audio" (or PatheWings). Seems they make the nicest cases ... coming from Berlin, Germany 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
