I beleive the "Bonnie Klein" standard is 1 and 1/2 revs. I agree...1/4
turn is not enough.

My complaint with threaded boxes is that it takes several complete
revolutions to separate the lid from the box. It shouldn't take more
than a quarter turn to remove the lid. More than that and I think I'd
find it annoying with frequent use.



One quarter turn to un-screw the lid? Can we assume that three-quarters of
the lids' thread will be unmated? Why have a threaded lid on the box?
Seems a suction fit would suit you better. I just checked my Richard Raffen
cocobolo threaded box. It takes one and a third revolution to unscrew the
lid. Not annoying at all and it sounds like it is made of porcelain....Nice
sound. However I agree that a lid that takes several turns would "grow old"
very quickly!
