Add a twist to your woodworking projects and find out how to use thread milling techniques to make this fun and practical multi-material Phone Lock Box using VCarve!
Olly shows you how quick and easy it is to create and customize your own Phone Lock Box to limit screen time and help promote healthy habits for all the family. See how he uses his mood board with inspiration from Todd’s screw lamp project plus other ideas found online to create this beautiful striped family friendly container made from maple, walnut and oak.
Using simple circle, oval and square shapes to draw vectors for the base, lid and middle, Olly creates threadmilling toolpaths to create the matching screw and bolt mechanism, then quickly adds some fun "unplug" and "it's a beautiful day, put your phone away" v-carved text to the lid and base. There’s so much packed into this fantastic project from how to pocket and profile machine, using a bull nose tool to smooth out the finger holes in the lid, to adding dowels to secure the project for double sided machining. You can also see how Olly uses tabs to check the thread milling works whilst still on the machine bed. All that’s left to do is a simple sand and splash a clear coat of Danish oil to bring out the beautiful striped contrasting wood and you’re good to go!
Find out how to make your own fun and practical way to limit screen time and promote healthy habits in both adults and children. Customize it to fit any phone size, match it to your own personal style, or even create a cookie or treats jar, a jewellery box or a hide away for your favorite things!
