Jim’s DS Box

So here’s what Jim wanted me to make him.

A box for his Nintendo.

It’s sim­i­lar to the fold­ing box. In fact it started out like the fold­ing box but then I closed up the sides so that it would be eas­ier to use the DS while it was still in the box. (Hence the drop front.) In this case the back side cor­ners are closed only by the book cloth liner. If I had it to make again I’d glue the side boards together.

The box is closed with a but­ton and a loop of elastic.

All together not bad for some­thing I made up on the fly.

One thing that I love about drop front boxes is how they seem to be a part of what­ever they hold rather than just inci­den­tal to it.
