Description by Pieter

I made this toy box for our son Olivier's first birthday.

How I made this project

I put the box together with the parts sawn to size. I countersunk and primed the screws so that they are no longer visible after painting. I then painted the box and finally covered it with stickers. I used gas springs to ensure that the lid can be opened almost effortlessly for a small child, but at the same time to ensure that the lid does not close too hard, which is the case. safe!
