The Clamshell Box: a Safe Place for Books

The Clamshell Box: a Safe Place for Books

$65, materials kit & shipping included 

List of required tools

When not being read, a book really just wants to be left alone in a safe place. The clamshell box is an ideal enclosure to keep books protected from dust, water, and light damage, as well as the general wear and tear of life on the shelf. Each participant in this workshop constructs a model clamshell box of a set size. Instruction includes basic strategies for measuring objects and cutting materials for future custom boxes.
