Hello all,
I'm planning to make a small wooden money box, It'll be approximately a 6 inch cube.
What I can't think of is a nice easy way of making an opening to get the money out. I supose I could leave it glued shut till it's full, but would prefer a nice way of making it open.
I've seen some box locks, but they look quite expensive (£7) and would mean me making a neatly fittng door. I'd rather not do that on my first real project. I could quite easily make screw the bottom in so that I can open it with a screwdriver, but any other suggestions are welcome.
Also advice on a cheap place for small box hardware (hinges, latches, locks etc) would be great. I'd like to make a few more small boxes, they look fun.
TIA
