Finished Storage Boxes


Once all the pentagons were cut out, I sanded down the edges so that they would fit together neatly. I used wood glue to bond the pieces. I joined all the wooden pieces first creating a shell of my box, I then used a plastic adhesive to glue in the Perspex windows. The lids were glued together separately and are made up of two pentagons to make access easier; they will then be attached to the boxes by a hinge. I have painted a layer of clear matte varnish onto the wood to finish and protect it.
