Spec Case

25
4
One example of spectacles cases I have made over the years. This one is from nicely figured quarter sawn white oak. Box joint for strength, because some I made with miter joints exploded when dropped. Too lazy to take a pic of the inside, the finger hole is offset for a dowel with a rare earth magnet to hold the lid on. I used expanded vinyl for the padding on the bottom, since spray-on felt I think is too rough. Made long enough ago that I don't remember what stain or finish I used. 🤷‍♂️
Size is 6-3/4" long, 3" wide, 1-3/4" high.

Nice box, Steven!! Put a spline in the miter joints and they'll stay together

Thanks, Jim! I recently bought a spline jig. Too lazy to make one. I'll practice on some boxes I've recently made.

Or just never drop it!

Excellent case Steven! The WO gives it a nice "man's specs" look, never to be taken by the spouse for her fancy specs 😀
