Since tipping boxes are most often used at public catering enterprises, it is advisable to arrange them in an appropriate style. Homemade, proposed by the author of Instructables under the nickname NortonCreations, is made in the form of the so-called. current (fr. toque). Today, the so-called variety of chef's hat. Of course, this box is appropriate in an institution in which cooks wear such caps.
The master begins work on the design with the manufacture of two identical plywood discs with a diameter of 457.2 mm each:
In one of the disks, he makes a slot for making a tip:
And in the other - a rectangular hole with rounded corners to extract them:
Using the door hinge, the master installs on the lower disk, which will be the bottom, the door so that the tip does not fall out spontaneously if you lift the box, but it opened when you click on it from below. Raising the bottom slightly, you can fit the ears under it for a small padlock and the lock itself, this is advisable if the box is not constantly monitored. And if they’re being watched, you can simply add Velcro so that when you carry the door does not slam, which the master does. He makes the cylindrical case of a box from flexible plywood, for example, Ceiba. The upper and lower discs are glued, and then additionally secured with a construction stapler.
In this form, the box is already ready for use, but it still does not look like a chef's hat. The master polishes it with sandpaper, gradually increasing the grit, and then stains it so that the tree does not shine through a rather thin fabric.
Taking the construction stapler again, the master tightens the cylinder with a cloth so that folds are obtained, leaving a margin below and above:
The bottom of the present cap has no folds, the following shows how the craftsman achieves the same with a strip of fabric on the box, which is turned upside down in the following photo:
It remains to tidy the fabric from the bottom and top, and also make sure that none of the staples clogged by the construction stapler is visible. And you can give the result to the cook. The master claims that he was delighted with such a gift. But how will he clean the tissue when it gets dirty?
