 There are plenty of programs that generate boxes or similar shapes, (here is a nice comprehensive guide: https://www.instructables.com/The-Ultimate-Guide-to-Laser-cut-Box-Generators/ ) but if you want to build a custom one, it is still a bit tricky. That's why I share this journey on how I made a box for the bow tie in Joinery. Joinery is a program that adds different kind of joints to an .svg file.                                      There are plenty of programs that generate boxes or similar shapes, (here is a nice comprehensive guide: https://www.instructables.com/The-Ultimate-Guide-to-Laser-cut-Box-Generators/ ) but if you want to build a custom one, it is still a bit tricky.

 Marijn and Jolien were given hourglass soldering kits by Herman, who were given to him by Lex from Okaphone (thank you both!). It's a nice piece of technology with a mercury switch that triggers the hourglass to switch sides.  Marijn and Jolien were given hourglass soldering kits by Herman, who were given to him by Lex from Okaphone (thank you both!).

-But now that the soldering is finished it needs a use and it's use will be to be worn at the Christmas party as a bow tie. +But now that the soldering is finished it needs a use. And it's use will be to be worn at the Christmas party as a bow tie. 
  
 So it needs a nice encasing and though I could've 3d printed, I liked the idea of a wooden, more classy look than plastic.  So it needs a nice encasing and though I could've 3d printed, I liked the idea of a wooden, more classy look than plastic.

 I found that the program itself was easy to use, but the preparations are a bit of a hassle. Because it is not coupled, if I want to scale this project, I have to connect all the joints again. I found that the program itself was easy to use, but the preparations are a bit of a hassle.

 So, will I use Joinery next time? Nah, I'll probably try the add-in for Fusion 360. But if I have a project that needs joinery other than 90 deg finger joints, or if I'll start a curved project in textile or paper, I'll definitely try this again. So, will I use Joinery next time?
