Hi, I've attached a file of a box (a project enclosure for a friends electronics, to replace the tacky plastic ones) I hope to make, not accurate or to scale, from a "routers eye view".
I've not put measurements on but it would be very small, around 10cm/4" across, and the height of the beech wood I have for the sides and back is 19mm/ 3/4". The top and bottom would be made out of something around 1/10th " walnut to give it a bit of colour.
As you can see most of it's butt joints, the dado on the top and bottom piece would hold in the missing front piece- which will be laser cut ply- with holes cut in for the switch and LED (and probably something for the battery, thinking about it!).
I currently have access to a CNC router and haven't actually used a hand router before, however I would honestly prefer to use manual one.
In my mind this box will work and look reasonable and be easily reproducible, but please let me know if you think my plan is flawed, I'm not particularly experienced. Thanks, Mark.
