I used to have a printer that would accept 3&#215;5 cards on manual feed, so I&#8217;d print out all kinds of useful information onto cards for handy reference. I even <a href=\"https:\/\/ee0r.com\/blog-old\/2010033001.html\">made a box to hold printed and blank 3&#215;5 cards<\/a> on my desk so that I&#8217;d always have them within easy reach. That printer is long gone, and my current printer will only take things as small as 4&#215;6 cards. So, it was time for a new box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ee0r.com\/proj\/images\/box-4by6-full.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ee0r.com\/proj\/images\/box-4by6-full.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\"\/><\/a><figcaption>Full 4&#215;6 Box<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A friend gave me some thin wood scants, I think they might be mahogany, and I had enough to make this box. There is no fancy joinery, it&#8217;s all held together with glue and 23-gauge pins. There is even a divider down the center to keep the clean cards separate from the used ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ee0r.com\/proj\/images\/box-4by6-empty.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ee0r.com\/proj\/images\/box-4by6-empty.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\"\/><\/a><figcaption>Empty 4&#215;6 Box<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is finished with a couple coats of blonde shellac, which really brightens up the wood color and gives it some polish. I put some cork squares on the underside so that it won&#8217;t scratch up my desk. You might notice that it holds the cards in landscape orientation. Given the shapes of the wood pieces I had, it was actually more economical to do it this way than portrait. The 3&#215;5 box was portrait, and made from cedar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ee0r.com\/proj\/images\/box-4by6-compare.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ee0r.com\/proj\/images\/box-4by6-compare.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\"\/><\/a><figcaption>4&#215;6 and 3&#215;5 Boxes Compared<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I use index cards for a lot of things.
