Nice idea hinging like that. Is the body cut as concentric rectangles in a 2" board or are the sides joined?

Very nice DW.  Someday I am going to take a shot at something like that.   Thanks for letting us have a look.

Nice idea hinging like that. Is the body cut as concentric rectangles in a 2" board or are the sides joined?

For the body I cut two concentric rectangles the inner one smaller of course and the outer one only with 3 sides.  I have done one similar with simple dovetails to put the sides together, so both approaches work.

Here's a knock-off of your good idea. I was looking for a gift box for a knife. This is cut from an 8" long piece of 2x4 with 1/8" BB Ply top and bottom and pinned with a 1/4" dowel.

Thanks for the idea.
