A clickable box...

Hello reader,

This is a little woodworking project you could do, you only need some pieces of thin wood. Some glue, some screws. And some tools would be handy.

Last night I had the idea of a "clickable box":

It's just a box, but than more complicated. For school I have several books, everyday I have to take different books to school. But they are stacked on top of eachother so it takes me a long time to find some books. Well, I have a solution. I hope :) If one has x different books, than one makes a box with x drawers. The box is a bit deeper than the drawers because there will be a mechanism behind the drawers. The drawers will be big enough to fit the largest book in, and the box will be big enough to fit all the drawers and the mechanism in. On top of the box (well, it's the top of the box) is a wooden board. With, behind the drawers) square holes cut out for the buttons. Every button is connected to a little stick, just long enough to reach to the corresponding drawer. Behind each drawer (connected to each stick with the side of the circle that is the furthest away from the front of the drawer) is a wooden cilinder. A very thin cilinder. It's installed horizontaly, the top of the cilinder points right or left. At the side of the cilinder that is closest to the top of the box is a little stick fixed. But it must be able to rotate though! the other end of this stick is fixed to the back end of the box. This must also be able to rotate. This mechanism is then made behind all drawers. So, when you pull at one of the buttons, the cilinder rotates, causing the other stick to come closer to the drawer, which causes the drawer to come out or show the book. The only thing you'd have to do now is mark which button goes with which book. And then packing books for the next day would take halve the time of normal!
