Quick 'N Simple

Saw @meflick's post on her little guitar pick boxes and decided to make on for my guitar playing son.  Nice easy way to use up some little pieces of wood.  The top and bottom are Black Limba wood, I do not know what the middle is.

Neat little projects Paul.  Love the grain of the Black Limba wood.

Glad I could  be a source of motivation Paul. I agree, great use of scrap woods. I really like the woods you used. Looks nice and I am sure your son will love it. Thanks for showing yours.

Paul, is there a pattern somewhere for this holder. I would love to make one for a good friend of mine. I don't have a pick to use to go by. Thanks Ralph.

Hi Paul, quick question. The 1/4 inch dowel that goes in the lid and the base, is the lid the only part that gets glues in and if so, how does the bottom part stay in so the lid turns.. Thanks, Ralph.

Yes the dowel is glued to the lid only.  The part going into the body needs to be a snug fit and is held by friction.  It it doesn't hold (mine if iffy), one could put a small magnet in the front of the body or  lid and a small screw/nail or something in the counter part for it to attach to.

Thanks Paul, I have everything cut out so far. I made four of them. I'll play around with the lid. Thanks again, Ralph.
