Gravity Pin Box

[stickman]

Does any one have drawings or an exposed gravity pin box. I seen a couple and liked the idea for gifts for family and friends. I didn't buy one, cause I'd hate to pay so much, just to disassemble it. I've always liked locks and secrets and thought this would be a fun project for Anthony and I to work on.

couldn't find any plans but following link shows a little bit.

The link below has some very interesting and intricate designs. All look to be very high quality. This looks like the ideal small project for the Bot.

I've figured out how to do a one turn design with one gravity pin. You would need to turn over the box, open part way, and then turn back over to fully open.

I haven't figured out what to do for a hidden central pivot though. Ideally I would think you would want some sort of double ended ringed insert.
