November 24, 20169 yr More camera issues today....started to install the hinges on that Cherry box, just about got it done, and the camera acted up. Oh well, laid out some toys for this job Had a bit of trouble with those push drills.....changed to a different drill later. Had these two to install.. And I used the square to set how far in from the corners to start the hinges at. Marked a line on both halves of the "joint".. Used that chisel, and a couple others, set it at each spot, smack it twice with the mallet, and move along. Wider chisel to level the playing field. Pencil to mark the holes using the hinge as a guide. pilot holes for the screws.. And repeat until all rebates are done. Waxed the brass screws,and installed the lid. Found a jig to hold the lidded box up enough to add a coat of 50/50 mix. So, now a PIP? This is the front, needs a latch yet...rotate 90 degrees Side #1, rotate.. Ah yes, those hinges. Rotate again.. And the other side. Oh, about that other drill I used for pilot holes? That Buck Rogers drill was having "issues" with holding onto that small of a bit. This was the second eggbeater I tried. First one wasn't able to tighten down enough. The only markings on this drill is a "No. 5" on the crank. Seemed to work well enough. On Dec.15...I will be going through same day surgery for them to scope the knee. Have a lot of "junk" floating around in there. They will also be "sanding down" all the rough spots Uncle Arthur has been leaving. Waiting on the Hospital to tell what time to show up that day. Hoping to get this box done before that happens...
November 24, 20169 yr If I know you, you'll have 2 more boxes built before that!! That turned out really super! Don't know about you but I absolutely love my little combo square.
November 24, 20169 yr Author Been using mine for a lot of the smaller stuff I do.....works nicely around dovetails, or finger joints. Doesn't seem to get in the way like the larger ones do.

Nice job on the hinge fitting and the case...I really like that extra touch of the beading cut round perimeter. ???4U...The Phillips screwdriver on the far left...is that a Wizard by chance...from old Western Auto tool brand...just curious. Like Lew and you, I can't do much of any project anymore without having my 6" combo square close by...I grab it up even when I probably won't need a square...just habit. Glad you got the 2nd opinion...sorry to hear results not so good, but at least a reason now for the pain you keep feeling...keep plenty of ice on hand after the surgery...you're gonna need it...you might be able to get one of these too. These work GREAT...also need the knee cuff...might check with your local medical supply; some places rent them; also check with local Walgreen's as a source. Wishing you the best in advance Steven!
