October 29, 20169 yr Getting down to the "finish" line......The front of the box's lid...needed a roundover done, to blend in that "bad" corner.. Might as well use this. Didn't round over the back edge..hinges were in the way.....FINALLY found some 100 grit sandpaper, so I gave everything, inside and out, a good sanding down... ...Got down the "Honey Jar" and an old brush. Worked my way from the inside of the bottom page all the way to the top of the lid... Just might be enough hinges? IF the latches arrive, there may be that many on the front of the box.. 1st coat of that SMELLY BLO/Varnish mix has been brushed on...inside and out. Will let it cure out today, then rub it out. Might get another coat or two? Then add the latches, when they get here?
October 29, 20169 yr Did you wind up with the latches you wanted? I looked around and couldn't find quite the same style.
October 29, 20169 yr Author Making a "chain-like thing" out of a few hooks & eyes.....All I can find for now. Maybe the next big check...I might mail order a bag of latches. Just won't be this time around. But, when they do show up, they will cover the old holes...
