Flip up pen box

[Edward Po]

Hi eveyone:

Any pen turners here know where I can obtain plans or tutorial on flip up pen boxes

Thanks in advance

There's one here, although I'm sure there are simpler (and safer) ones

Edward, there are a couple here in the IAP Library. They require you to be competent with a router following a template. (Or if you are lucky enough to have a CNC mill to hand as I do you can do it on that!)

Hi Edward

If I had a router this is what I would make, I think they are wonderful.

The videos are a bit long winded but that shouldn't put you off from watching them.

Thanks guys for the info, unforunately the pen box I am referring to is not what both of you have suggested. The one I am referring to has 2 arms attached to the bottom and side of the lid. When the lid is lifted the arms will swing up in an arc and lifted the pen ftom the recess.

I have never seen anything like this before.
