Notes

The lid runs in grooves in the quarter-inch walls. Butt joints are the simple option; finger joints are an alternative.

The pencil compartment has a raised floor so the pencil is easier to pick up. Final fitting depends on the actual plywood, dice and pencil. A travel catch is still to be chosen.
