Cnc was probably overkill for this project but want to get some more time on the CNC. Would look better with contrasting wood but I couldn't be bothered to mill up any ha.

Some scrap plywood, casters and 3d printed mounts and we have a systainer trolly. I can fit another one beside it if I rotate it sideways. Can also fit one more in front if I'm happy to slide it aside to get to the others. No decided if I'm going to add the lumber rack shelf back in yet or not

That's kinda what I'm thinking now, leave enough space at the front so I can slide them out, rotate them around, de-stack etc to get access to what I need.

Some great ideas thanks. I like the idea of having dollies with stackable boxes, I have a series of systainers I can use for some of my tools and then can make some wooden crates for general storage. The step is the big issue, I might create a small create that is the same height as the step...

In my workshop I have an alcove under where my stairs are and I wanna utilise this space better, note the shelf has since been removed. It's 1 metre deep, but due to the sloped roof it's quite an awkward space. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to best utilise this space? Idea's...

I'm not 100% but I think it might be Kiaat (Muninga), something I found on my lumber rack from a while ago that I thought would look good.

Ended up going for no hinges: https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/threads/post-a-photo-of-the-last-thing-you-made.81798/post-1755584 Made the realisation that I designed it for 12 mm stock, decided I wanted continuous grain on all corners, which meant I had to resaw the stock. Only stock I have is...

Thanks. It's actually acrylic, did it on my co2 laser. I did attempt to do some glass panels and the etching looked decent, not quite as clean. But when it came to cutting the glass panels to size (not on the laser) I really struggled to get a clean break, so in the end opted for acrylic which...

Another gift build, something I've wanted to build for a while now. I am really happy with it, managed to get a nice continuous grain, even if it did result in stock being too thin for the hinges I ordered haha. There are things I'll do differently for the next one for sure, but I think that's...

All good, I appreciate the heads up and will do some research.

Needed to make a super quick gift for someone, saw some tea light holders that had storage for match box, thought it was a nice simple idea. Most of them were made from single bit of wood but thought I'd inject some colour and interest by using padauk(?). Few mistakes here and there like making...

Do you have any pictures you can share of this?

This is a great gift idea for family member thanks, I love that you build the holders into the table/board.

Butt hinges are an option still. Was looking at the ones from smart box maker but they are too big. Need to look around and see what alternatives are available. The ones you linked above might be ok, hair too big but can probably work with them still, if not I’m sure I’ll find another project...

Not seen quadrant hinges before, found some that are 5mm and 7mm thick so they could work. While looking for those also found these: https://www.prokraft.co.uk/premium-solid-brass-side-rail-hinges.html 6mm rail hinges, if I offset from the outside edge so they line up with the liner, that...

Thanks for the replies/ideas. My plans were for the sides to be 12mm, however due to a few compounding mistakes they ended up at 9mm ha. I think hinges will result in a better end product in terms of function, but not sure if it'll compromise the appearance.

Interesting I hadn't thought about having the side exposed. This could work, especially if I made the height of the liner to same as the sides to give some extra support.

I'm making a wrap around grain tea box for a gift and I planned on using some smart box hinges. However I got carried away milling after resawing it and now it's too thin for the gingers to be morticed into it. I always planned on adding a contrasting wood lining, which will thicken the sides...

Decided to take a break from making outdoor builds and build a quick storage unit for the living room. First time tapering stock this long and although it's only the top that's tapered was still bit of a pain to do on the bandsaw due to stock length.

That's lovely, I really like the hinges!
