Here’s a neat last minute gift idea. The construction is fairly simple. It’s one of those “how’d you do that” projects, and that makes it a particularly good gift since recipients think you spent more time making it than you really did!

To make it you’ll need a table saw, miter saw, one band clamp, and about four hours of time. A great place to store pocket stuff!

    Is there an actual video for this plan? I’m able to download plans with pictures. I’m having trouble with the miter cuts and hope that a video would be more helpful.

      Hi William,

      Here is what our expert has to say: This plan is in photo/text format only, with no video. Hopefully the detailed photos on pages 4-5 of the plan can provide with with enough information to get the miters to come together properly for you.

      Best of luck,
      Paul

    Is there a way to make this without a table top mitre saw? I only have a couple simple tools so far such as a circular saw, sawzall, hand mitre saw, etc.

      Hello Matthew, it would not be impossible, but I would say it would be very challenging using the tool set that you have. I’d say that you’d want either a power miter saw or a table saw for this project.

    I built one of these out of some scrap cedar I had. I added a vertical corner post {tapered at the bottom to fit the corner} to mount an apple watch charger on. Turned out great!

    I made this a little while ago, and I am really happy with the result, even for a beginner like me.

    Is it possible to have the measurements in centimetres and millimetres? I have no idea how to measure 1 9/64 or 23/32 or the other ones similar to those. Thanks.
