    Designed from the ground up!

    Back in April of this year, I had never used a CNC or understood its capabilities, one steep learning curve!

    My 1st grandsons toy-box.

    I looked at various toy-boxes on the market and thought that they all were just storage boxes, serving no other purpose. I decided I want him to have what I thought was the best! So got to work.

    Using Fusion 360 I created all of the base panels and run various test cuts to get the interlocking to work.
    Once the interlocking was set, I started on the design of the other parts, I using a vector of Mr Tickle for the sides and made the handle his mouth! An Alphabet on the top and internal panels designed to be a road system for his cars!

    I used Whiteside 1/8" & 1/4" compression for the general pockets and contours.
    I used a SPETOOL .75mm taper end mill for all word/letter engraving.
    I used a Whiteside 1370 Bowl & Tray for the road pocketing.

    I also created an airport on the underside panel so there are two variants of road system.

    Made from top quality baltic birch ply, 12mm, Danish oil finished and buffed!

    Really cool concept! I can see this idea being incorporated into board games as well. Thanks for sharing
