Closed Plexiglas & Walnut Box

 

 

 
A request was made for a closed box for damp outside use and, after a number of experiments and prototypes were made and discarded, the following design was chosen.

The box is made of two 1/4" Plexiglas panels that have a slot cut into them to hold the top and bottom pieces of Plexiglas.  The sides are made of blocks of genuine Western Pennsylvania walnut, cut from a tree at a friend's farm.

Two screws on each side fasten the left wood block and only one is used on the right side to expedite access to the inner workings of the unit.
