The Build Box 1.0: Custom Box

I call this The Build Box. It has been carefully designed around hobbies that involve lots of small parts, including Lego and other brick-building hobbies.

When not in use, it's a piece of art you can display on your shelf. Upon opening the lid, you'll first see the small-parts tray. This is made from solid wood, milled out with shallow, rounded sections designed perfectly for sorting tiny 1x1 and 1x2 bricks, while allowing easy grabbing. The edges of the tray have been marked with a stud ruler on one side (for quickly figuring out the length of longer pieces), and a centimeter ruler on the other.

Lift out that tray, and you'll find a sorting area for larger pieces. This section uses clear acrylic (to make it easier to find parts), which can be re-arranged depending on what size compartments you need.

On the lid, there's a shelf that flips down. This shelf includes adjustable spring arms to hold open the pages of a physical book, and is sturdy enough to hold a tablet if you prefer digital instructions. The lid stops at a specific angle that has been tested to help reduce glare on your instructions, and is held open with brass hardware.

Pausing work for a while? You can put the small parts tray back in, fold up the book shelf, and close the lid. This keeps paws and little fingers out of your pieces.

The bottom has small rubber feet to hold the box in place while you work. It works equally well in your lap, sitting on the sofa.

While the design of the Build Box was engineered around Legos, I'm happy and excited to work with you on other ideas you may have. Together we can refine or adjust features to make this best work for you.

Custom Build Box

Purchase this item and you get to commission your very own, custom build box. I'll work with you to design a theme, select the right wood, and add your own personalized touches to make this a one-of-a-kind item for yourself or that special gift that you've always wanted to give someone.

As this is a hand-built item, there is at least a 2 week lead time on designing, building and finishing before it can be shipped.
