6. Conclusions and Future Work - BD

My mechanism was a success! I am very happy with the progress I made and the final result. I had a lot of fun with this project and learned a lot about the importance of good joint design. In the future, I would like to work on closing the gap at the back of the lid, as seen in the figure below. I could accomplish this by moving the coupler and follower back about half an inch. Additionally, I could add a motor and a button to have the jewelry box open on its own. Finally, I would like to add an organizational insert to it and stain or paint it. I do plan on using this to store my jewelry!
