Money Box

In this instructable I will show you how I made a money box for donation. I designed it for an important registered association in my hometown. They take care for the animals and the enviroment in our wonderful Kurpark (spa gardens). Just visit their homepage:

Materials

• ply wood
• wood glue
• acrylic glass
• postbox lock

Tools

• laser cutter
• pc with inkscape
• paintbrush
• some clamps

First I made some scribbles to find the right design. After that I took my camera, made a picture, send it to my pc and started editing the laser data in inkscape.

I took a few moments to find the correct dimensions and position of the lock because I always had to switch between 2D and 3D-construction.

This step is all about gluing. Just make sure you put every single piece flush with it's following part. To fix the glued pieces I used a lot of clamps as you can see in the picture.

Here are some closeups.

I also made two keyring pendants because the small keys have the characteristic to dissapear.

Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed my instructable!
