Pirate Toy Box

thingiverse

I had an old crate sitting around, and my son had toys strewn all over his floor while he was watching Sponge Bob on Netflix. Being the kinda guy that I am, I saw an opportunity. So I did some quick sanding on the box, hit it with a blow torch (to bring out the grain), then stained and sealed it (2-in-1 stain and polyurethane), hit amazon for a continuous hinge and 2 100nm cabinet openers, 4 pieces of scrap wood painted black, and then opened up tinkercad. Grabbed this padlock by "Meximelt" http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1582810, and this jolly roger by BY_CRC http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:123685 and smushed them together. Then cobbled some squares and circles together for corner pieces and the latch assy. I painted them gold and after they were dry I sprayed some black then wiped gently with an alcohol damped rag and attached them with furniture/leather tacks. note the loop that the lock hangs on had to be glued on. I'm no carpenter by any stretch of the imagination, and this was my first attempt at mixing 3d printing with wood, so if a chuckle head like me can do it, so can you! Let me know if I can help you with your project.
