How do you stop would be thieves from stealing tips out of the tip jar? You put a lock on it! In this one day build I build a tip jar box to prevent would be thieves from snatching those tasty tips. Admittedly this isn't the best looking item I've built, and I struggled a bit with some of the cuts (would love your feedback on what I could've done differently). All told, though, it is fully functional and once we slap a coat of paint on it I think it'll work just fine.
Tools used
M12 Milwaukee Drill
Ryobi Orbital Sander
Ryobi Tablesaw
Dremel
M12 Milwaukee Jigsaw
Acrylic
Ryobi 23 Gauge Pin Nailer
Ryobi 18 Gauge Brad Nailer
