This is how the box will look like, just bigger. I have no power tools so a file, chisel and sand paper is all I have, this one took almost 3 weeks to make.....very very hard wood infact it is in the top 10 for hardness. I had all the power tools but ya someone stole it, but I am grateful because it makes the carpentry just so much more personal and rewarding.
Wow! That is quite impressive, especially having been done by hand!

I have a big cigar humidor, lined with Spanish cedar because it retains the moisture to keep the cigars at 70% humidity.
I don't think I would keep coins in cedar... I would stay with very hard woods.

this is interesting,
I was wondering how people are storing their coins.

I suppose after building the wooden box you could
throw in some desiccant pods to absorb the moisture in the air!

The lighthouse box shown above came with a desiccant pack inside. I only plan to fill 40 of the 50 slots, so I left it in there.

You received a lot of great feedback. No power tools? WoW! You must be a good woodworker using just hand tools. I admire that!

Not reall, just time and patience that's all, anyone can do it, I haven't started on the box yet, pre occupied with other stuff.
60 grit sandpaper can do wonders with the excess wood lol
