Relay Stairs

A folded ribbon staircase for domino runs: six 10 mm steps up and six down, with 20 mm treads that hold a standing domino each. A domino chain climbs over the summit and runs on down the far side, a classic chain reaction trick made neat and repeatable.

Slipcase Box

MAIN PURPOSE: Store supplies under a captive sliding lid

A sliding-lid box for pencils, brushes or beads: grooves run round three walls at the top and the front wall stops at the groove, so a lid slides in from the front and stays captive. Two low walls make three front-to-back bays. The Slipcase Shutter lid opens one bay at a time.

Slipcase Shutter

MAIN PURPOSE: Open one compartment at a time by sliding

The lid of the Slipcase Box, with a window: slid fully home, the window sits over the back bay of the Slipcase Box; pull it out one bay and the window moves to the middle, another and it reaches the front. Only one bay is ever open, ideal for seeds, beads or sweets, and the overhang is the handle.

Gridlap Comb

MAIN PURPOSE: Anchor divider strips to a drawer wall

The wall rail for Gridlap: a 200 mm comb with 2.4 mm slots on the same 30 mm pitch, stuck to the drawer side with foam tape. Strip ends drop into its teeth, so a grid holds square to the wall and T-junctions work without crossing strips.
