I took the PDF from the BoxMaker file and put it into Rhino. I used text to cover covers a large portion of the box. I used offset to make the different circles as well as line up the texts. Because the texts initially start as a line of text, I have to align them perfectly into the circles by splitting the sentences apart. After cutting the box out, I sanded them down and washed them. I should have quick dried them instead of letting it air dry because the wood started to change shape. I was afraid it would not fit afterwards, but I used the glue to force it to stay, so everything worked out.
I had to cut the box 3 times because my first attempt was not big enough to make the box fix, so after remeasuring the book and the material thickness, I remade the box and now it fits perfectly. I had ordered 2 small hinges online and they fit very proportionally on my box. It came with screws, but because it would risk damaging the box, I decided to use Loctite glue to keep the hinges on.
