A New Copper Box

I'm returning to box making and have decided to make one from copper domes.

The domes are made from flat discs of copper, annealed and then hammered into a former to create the dome. filing the edges gives each dome a flat edge to allow both halves of the box to come together.

The following picture shows both halves put together to show the outline of the box. It's about 7cm across so it's just the right size to fit in the palm of the hand.

With the domes formed, I've been working on the inside. The first stage is to mae a plate to fit in the bottom half of the box. this is where the box contents will be stored.
