/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Complete beginner here without any tools or experience. I would like to handcraft a cigarette box like pic related as a gift for someone's birthday in April and was wondering how difficult the woodwork would be and what the steps might look like. I've taken a peek at a few "beginner box" videos on Youtube but they seem to not just be larger, but rely on hinges whereas this one is relatively small and uses what seems to be a metal piece on the inside to keep the lid attached. I'll post more pictures following this post.
