Marked out where I did NOT want rounded over ( in theory, best laid battle plan?)

I wasn't to go past that line on the long sides.   Short sides I could plane all day long..

Main tool for this sort of thing was just a block plane.  Wasn't trying for a perfect half circle, just enough to "break" the edges.  I also planed a bit on the bottom of each part..plane work.JPG

As there was a few rough spots.  Got the two ends done.   Tried to plane the longer ones

And forgot what that pencil line was for...ooops.  Jointed the edge, re-marked the line with a chisel.   Needed a better tool to do the stop cuts..

A spokeshave would do the trick.  The chisel and mallet made a better mark to work to.

A little better?   Flipped the part over, jointed the other side.    Got both long sides all planed....might as well find a bunch of clamps, and some Elmer's

Think I have enough clamps?   Somewhere in there, the lid is glued up.  let it sit overnight.    Found a small packet in the tool well...

Brass hinges.  Still had the ACE price tag on them.    Might give them a try later.   About all I can do for a day...always tomorrow, no rush.
