I have been making and selling boxes for Bibles and these are two of them.

Those look wonderful Jim! Have you by chance seen the Bible box in Popular Woodworking (October issue)? Not one I'm up to making yet, but I bet you could pull it off without a hitch.

That's a great job you did there Jim! I was looking at the pictures and wondering...are the boxes hinged on the side in the middle, to where the box opens (kinda like a book itsself), or does the top half just set off of the bottom. Great idea! I know lots of people who'd like this!

[are the boxes hinged on the side in the middle, to where the box opens (kinda like a book itsself), ............ Yes the box is hinged on the left so it opens just like a book does. The two hinges are made of sandpaper.....yes cloth backed sand paper. I use a slotter on my router to put a 1/16" slot in the 1/4" edge of the top and bottom . I then cut a disc from velcro backed sandpaper and glue these into the slots using white glue. I then pin nail the sandpaper in place and cut off the excess of the pin on the inside, after the glue sets. I have made these boxes of 1/4" oak ,walnut and cedar.
