Cigarette box
Hey diy people of 4chan,
I've saw this thing and would love ro build it on my own but i can't figure out how the opening mechanism could work.
It should rise when the box is opnened but how to connect the all those parts that they work together?
Can you help me?
And how is that type of opening mechanism even called?
I mean you can see the entire thing right there. It's just a simple linkage. How retarded can you get?

Kan u B moar snarky?
Basically the big box looking faggot on the top is attached with a hinge to the base, and to the top cigarette holding nigger. Each of the cigarette holding niggers is attached to each other via those metal-rod looking kikes, so the top faggot only need to be attached to one of the niggers.

OP, I'm assuming you want to build this to hold cigars? Make sure it's Spanish cedar lined and the box will need a good seal when it's closed. You'll also want room for a humidifier such as these.

As far as construction of the box: good luck.

Pretty much this. There just can't be a lot of tolerance between the fitting pieces. You probably want to make a mock-up of this using paper of something before you cut out the pieces.
Like >>997929 said, you'll have to have a good seal otherwise this will be kinda worthless. Honestly this might be cheaper to buy than build given the required materials and difficulty of the build if you're fairly inexperienced with woodworking which I'm guessing you are since you couldn't figure out the simple mechanism used.
If you want to do some woodworking that's tobacco related, try pipe carving. It's fun, functional and relatively easy. Also briar blocks can be picked up for relatively cheap along with prefabricated stems.
If not, good luck, anon. Post back if your project is a success.

You're right anon.
This is complicated.
You would be best making a cardboard model to try the length of each part first.
Pin it down to some wood.

I thought about building it whith lego technics
The main problem i have is that i cna't figure out how the top piece is connected to the cap
Thanks to all of you kind anons

Probably not the way it's done but I would attach the top piece with a through dowl to act as the hinge.
Maybe even go for brass rod.

>i cna't figure out how the top piece is connected to the cap
I think can see the pin in the photo. Probably one in each side of the cap, about halfway up.
They are fitted into the top shelf, near its base (end inside the box cap). Cap opens and pulls the upper shelf up and back. Other shelves are pulled up and back by brass(?) linkages (visible).
Like >>997993 says, build a mock-up to get dimensions right.
I've now made the cardboard model. It works fine and i think i'll make it like in that pic.
