Making a knife box SD 480p

This simple band sawn knife box was featured in Woodcraft Magazine in September 2007. Two versions were offered, one in spalted maple and the other redwood with portions colored with leather dye. It illustrates the use of articulated barrel hinges and a flipping story stick to assure that the hinge holes are in perfect alignment. It's worth watching for that reason alone, as the same technique is useful for mini barrel hinges often used by box makers.
