stenographer box.




made this box for a guy in my drawing class who is a stenographer, and still transcribes notes using these old accordian folded newsprint reels. i guess he used to use carboard boxes when transcribing that would fall apart and the company who made them no longer does. so he wanted a badass box, and i am physically incapable of saying no. cool to make the whole thing from scratch though. stainless steel hinges, rivets, and sheetmetal. sheetmetal powdercoated black. also cool to be able to take something relatively quickly from computer model to real material. i love it when the computer translates in that matter, seems to be a step that is lost so much in industry. the people who draw the thing never seem to be the people that make the thing. i feel pretty lucky to be able to work on both sides of that translation.
