Wooden Bearing Hinge Box Scroll Saw Pattern.

This box is eight inches wide. The medallion on top is optional. I also included a blank medallion so you can add your own text or graphics. When it is made from Baltic birch plywood it looks more like a utility-style box.  If you prefer to make it as a small jewelry box or collectors box then it would look better cut from a nice hardwood.

The hinge is what I call a DIY integrated wooden bearing hinge. These hinges are more common in the laser cutter patterns but the scroll saw can cut them fine. Just pay attention to the assembly. You need to install the wooden bearings and lid as you assemble the box. If you glue the box up first you won't be able to get the lid and bearings installed. You will see what I mean as you do your dry assemble. 




The lid is designed to have an automatic stop when opened. If you cut the bearings for a snug fit the lid will stay up by itself. 
 

You can easily add lift-out trays for a jewelry style box. This box is also a good choice for laser cutting. You can eliminate the lid medallion and add a laser engraved image to the top or front.
 

This is a close-up of the wooden bearing hinge. When you glue the inner wooden bearing to the lid, make sure not to get glue squeeze out. You don't want to glue in inner bearing to the outer bearing or the lid may not open.

I use this air filter in my two-car garage shop. It works fine for that amount of space. If you have more space then consider the larger unit or multiple units. Keep you air as clean as possible for your protection. This does not eliminate the need for a mask when producing large amounts of airborne dust. A three-phase system of dust mask, dut collection, and air filtration will give you the best opportunity to keep your environment clean from small airborne dust particles that can and will damage your lungs.

  • Circulate the air in a 400 square foot room up to 7.5 times per hour
  • Three-speed operation flows air at a rate of 300, 350, or 400 cubic feet per minute
  • Includes a 1-micron filter and a 5-micron pre-filter, both of which can be easily replaced
  • Programmable timer automatically shuts unit off after set number of minutes
  • Remote control allows users to set timer, change speed and power the unit on and off from up to 26 feet away
