1 Cut the box bottom (A) and divider (D) to size. Cut the sides (B) and ends (C) to size, plus 1" in length. Then, cut dadoes in parts A and B to accept the divider.

2 Miter-cut the ends of B and C (to finished length) then dry-fit the box parts to check for a good fit. Glue and clamp the box together.

3 Cut E and F to size. (We cut the two top pieces (E) from the same piece of material to ensure a pleasing, continuous grain pattern.) Mark the curves on the side pieces (F) as shown and cut to the finished shape. Mark the Vi" hinge pin location in F and drill.

4 Bevel-cut the top pieces and the sides. When you're sure of a good fit, glue and clamp the covers. To clamp the covers, we planed down a 2X4, wrapped it in waxed paper, then glued and clamped the cover pieces to the 2X4 and to each other.

5 After the glue has dried, remove the clamps and set the covers on the box assembly. Mark the l A " hinge pin position through the holes of the covers onto the box, remove the covers and drill V* " into the box. Put a small amount of paraffin in the drill holes in the box. Cut the hinge pins, dry-mount to box, and glue to cover.

6 Chamfer the top ends of the box (C). We sanded the pieces so there was just enough friction to prevent the covers from opening too easily. Finish-sand the card box and finish
