June 8Jun 8 Author comment_377366 It is when I hit "Post" that the text goes and hides, as the photos all slide together and hide the text...Hitting Enter a couple more times seems to stop that BS... Report

June 9Jun 9 Author comment_377493 Ok, fingers crossed ( might be the problemski?) get this caught up, before the Varnish goes on..Hinges: These did not have any counter sink around the screw holes, so..after cleaning this up..I used that bit to counter sink the Brass Hinges...Count the turns (18) per hole, to get the head of the screws flush...Mallet and chisel to dig out a place for each hinge leaf...Hammer to set the pilot hole punch..Leaf need to sit flush...connecting the lid to the box was...fun..Stay tuned for part 2...(we'll see how this turns out) Report

Need to cut some parts at a 45 degree angleGlue and pre-drilled holes for nails...Clamp up, and let sit overnight..This morning, brushed on a coat of the Infamous Witch's Brew Stain...All closed up..vs..All opened up...vs..Occupied...That Nickel Plated Depth stop and wing bolt, looked a bit out of place...Upper right corner. Turned out, it belongs elsewhere..Craftsman No. 3720/Sargent No.79, Type 2....and, yes, it already has a box/case of it's own.Tomorrow, install a fancy label, and a coat of Warm Gloss Poly...and maybe this Project will be done?We'll see how it looks after all that..stay tuned..
