Total Alumilite box

[workinforwood]

Made this box for my wife out of recycled alumilite from dripping cups into a mold. This is a year plus worth of drip cups. Alumilite doesnt stick together as well as PR, so i enginered every panel so its constructed like plywood. If you look close you see each side is different direction from inside and out.

How uniqiue !!!

Thanks...its about 8x11x5 deep and it is heavy, probably 4 pounds. Two laminates together equal 5/8 in finished size. Going much thinner just keeps increasing the risk of structural integrity failing. Pretty fun project.

It's your own version of Fordite. Love it!

This is great! Not nearly as heavy as I thought it would be.

Few months back i built this tabletop slab. I have this slab plus i have 2 glued up columns to build 2 legs. Basically with this slab and legs i am half way to building a coffee table or bedside night stand. Probably be another 3-4 years of drip cups.
