After visiting Tom's web site, I kept thinking about the display box tutorial he has on it. Here's what I came up with.
Thanks for the tutorial Tom.

Great - somebody finally tried one! Glad it was of use to you, Don - makes the effort worthwhile. They look really great - did you find them easy to make?

They were not difficult to make. I did however have to use trial and error in order to get the distance from the hinge to the box correct so that the lid/back would open far enough to make the stand work well. If the distance is too short it makes the stance of the box wide when used as a display stand.
My son-in-law loved them and as a matter of fact now has the larger of the two. I believe his exact words were "that's fat". I think that means I did a good job.
Thanks again for sharing.
