Inspiration (Father's Box)
My mother loves boxes so I decided to make a tiny chest for her to put her belongings. My father has one on his nightstand that my mother had created, so I wanted to make one of similar size for her. My idea was to make a box with a lid that opens with hinges. She said she wanted to paint it.
Box Interior (Final)
Modeling Techniques:
I used box designer to make a box with measurements of 9x5x5 with a thickness of .1875". I uploaded the pdf onto Rhino. I used split to cut a line onto the box shapes to create my opening. I changed that to blue. Then I used rectangles and lines to make my design. I used hatch, raster, high, medium, and low engraving colors as well. My design is quite simplistic because I just wanted to add some texture to the box.
When I assembled the box pieces I got a paintbrush and brushed wood glue on the interior ridges and on the interior crack of the box.
