CD Box Fail

A small project I made around a decade ago and before I was posting regularly on KZbin. It was a box designed to hold my overflow of card-sleeved CD cases, which don't fit comfortably in to plastic jewel case racks.
While it was made in accordance to the SketchUp drawing I'd produced, the method of secret opening didn't quite work with the fluidity that I'd hoped for... Hopefully this will be of interested to other woodworkers. A chance to learn or find inspiration.
I'm aiming to get back in to a rhythm of posting regular videos on this channel again. It may only be monthly at best but I have a backlog of footage to sift through from months of DIY-type work and there are several pieces I've furniture I've made that have never been showcased in video.

Hi Olly, Not a failure, a Prototype! It is a very nice box, a shame to bin it. I have an interest in boxes with secret locks and boxes with secret compartments in them. I saw a video one time of an 18th century French desk with many secret compartments within it. I hope you get back to having a workshop again. 👍

Hi Will, Yes, I guess I could see it as an expensive prototype; the type of idea I'd usually create with cheaper materials. But I was so confident this would work. I might keep it in the loft for the time being. Thanks, Will. I would like my own workshop. I have limited access to the one in work and, being on low pay, I can't currently see a way to afford a space of my own. I hope you have a good Christmas, Will and all the very best.

Glue the doors on permanently, cut all the way round and reattach the top with some hinges. Would be a shame to throw it away.

Thank you, there's definitely an idea in there! What you can't see in the video is the central divider inside the box... It isn't 'fixed' to either the lid or base but I probably glued some part of it! Have a good Christmas and thanks for watching.
