Our Toys for the Month of April are two small keepsake boxes, the Crappie Fish Box and the Escargot Box.  Both have a secret compartment for use in hiding small jewelry or trinkets. 

These boxes require a piece of 2x6 and some 1/4" plywood for the top and bottom. Shaped on a bandsaw, the lid is attached on a pivot pin (axle) that also serves as the eye for the characters.

As usual, build 13, keep one, and return the others in a box marked Category 3 and clearly marked on the box.
