MrRick Posted October 15 Report Posted October 15 I made this box all with hand tools for my Stanley 750 Sweetheart Chisels. Made out of Spalted Pine. Just look at that grain!! Seldom do you see spalted coloring! Brass hinges were installed. Also magnets and screws for snugging the lid securely. Handcut dovetailed corners. Handcut moulding all around lid and bottom perimeter. Applied finish is General Finishes Water-Based High Performance Polyurethane from Lee Valley. Thanks for looking! Cheers!

lew Posted October 15 Report Posted October 15 Like the magnet idea for the lid closure. Grandpadave52 and Gunny 2 Quote
MrRick Posted October 15 Author Report Posted October 15 I often do this on boxes with these types of lids. It works well. Did you notice the adjustable screw that the magnet sticks to when closing? This allows you to tweak the fit. lew, Gunny and Grandpadave52 3 Quote

My grandfather showed me this when I was a teenager. Unique and functional detail. MrRick, lew and Grandpadave52 3 Quote
MrRick Posted October 16 Author Report Posted October 16 There are many details our grandfathers did in woodworking that were done by hand and rival or surpass that which is done by modern power equipment today. One reason IMO: Their hearts and hands were focused on the journey not the expediency. lew, Grandpadave52 and Gerald 3 Quote
