Making my Box

 once I had cut all the pieces of the box to size, I then scored into the middle section each measurement- making sure that the solder line was in the middle of one side (this would make it easier to solder)

Unfortunately as the strip had been bent before i started sanding it down, i had to straighten it out and that meant that each corner started to crack and break. this then meant that i had to solder each corner individually so to strengthen it.

 

 I then soldered the strip together and cleaned the base to then solder it onto that. i used binding wire which was really tricky to use

 

I created the top of the box by photo etching the text onto it. I scanned in the front of the original address book to recreate the exact writing on there. I really like how this has come out.
