See PDF file for more detailed instructions. In addition to the svg file's, I've also added the affinity designer source so you can change it at will. TL;DR version. 1. Adjust the design magnet hole sizes to match your magnets. 2. Cut the four pieces. 3. Apply finish. 4. Use CA glue to attach magnets and the hinge. The chamfer for the hinge is required, they need to be cut with the 45degree v-bit or later on a router table.
