@RexH Hi RexH
Thank you very much 
So I hope I can help you:
1. hinges
I took it from Amazon, but be careful to take the 8 mm hinges, not the 10 mm. Otherwise you need to ajust the .crv Files, not only the holes but also the thickness of the back!
- Sure I‘ll share my files with you Specially since it’s gonna be a gift for your granddaughters.
Would you mind sharing some photos of the cookie box when you‘re done? Sharing what wood you took too? So let me try to uplode the files. Hope you can open them:
- Bottom
Boden.crv (833.5 KB) - Cover
Deckel.crv (1.3 MB)
However, I suggest making the holes for the hinges about 0.2 mm deeper than I have them right now (each hole).
- The magnets I took also from Amazon. 5 x 4 mm.
Sorry, my english is not so good, so I hope you understand what I write / mean.
Kind regards

Thank you very much. I will post pictures when I get something made.
Made this box for a Valentine’s Day gift. My thought was I could make more of the center pieces to make the box ‘grow’.

Thats a great idea 
Perfect example of taking crappy wood and turning it into something great!
Made a jewelry box out of garbage wood. Literally. The maple was from an old dresser i found by the side of the road a few years ago. The mesquite (top) was a piece of mesquite that my neighbor was throwing out last year. And the body is a piece of mahogany that I’ve been carrying around for ages. Finally found a use for it.

One man’s junk is another man’s treasure for sure with this but you made the real magic happen!
2 projects I recently finished. 1 in wood and 1 in aluminium. Wood was walnut with curly maple inlay. Aluminium bottle opener in shape of connecting rod was a bit tuff till I figured out feeds and speeds after watching Winston Moy. I recommend watching this video it was what got me dialed in. from carbide create (winston moy), Check out his channel, its been a big help.Aluminum Feeds and Speeds for the Shapeoko - #MaterialMonday - YouTube

Do you think it would be difficult to do an aluminum inlay in wood?
I don’t see an reason why it wouldn’t work.
It’s totally possible. Diresta did as well as others. The series by Robert Cowan was long but good.

Nice work Todd - that’s some really nice wood grain too!

Thanks - most of my wood is rescued from pallets, scrap piles, or the lumber yard twisted and warped pile
The Soup of the day was a aspen edge glued panel from the lumber yard purchased new (I got lazy that day) The added detail on the flat was a texture cut at the end
The hickory was from a cabinet shop burn pile.
The white oak was slab wood (called live edge by seller) at auction
The pledge of allegiance was from a steel shipment pallet.
It’s amazing sometimes what is tossed or burned. I got pallets made out of black walnut that was used for steel pallets
