RE: It woke me up? - bandit571 - 10-31-2021 Time for a PIP? Lid has been installed, magnetic catch works...all outside wood and the underside of the lid, are now stained...a look at the lid, first? [attachment=38497] Remember, this was a 2 board, book-matched glue up..next a look at how the hinge side turned out...goal was to almost hide them.. [attachment=38498] Came close? Then a look around up front...to where a rare earth magnet sits in the lid, and contacts a metal plate. mortised into the top edge of the box.. [attachment=38499] Arrow points to the latch. Wipe this all down...there are four round feet glued into the bottom of the box... [attachment=38500] 1/4" forstner bit for the hole to glue these into..one per corner. A second wipe down...then a coat of Amber Sheelac...for now... [attachment=38501] Not too much of a change..maybe a hair darker....might make the splines stand out a bit better? Maybe a second coat? Light sanding, then a coat of clear gloss poly? May or may not make a tray for the insides...haven't decided..yet.. Might be too busy rehabbing 7 handplanes.... RE: It woke me up? - bandit571 - 11-04-2021 Ok, second coat of clear gloss poly has dried, and been rubbed down...So..here we go..Front view.. [attachment=38566] A look at the back/hinge side. [attachment=38567] Open the lid? Showing corner details, and the high-tech latch.. [attachment=38568] Was trying to get the grain to flow all the way around... [attachment=38569] Like I simply "folded" the board into shape... [attachment=38570] And the splines would then just look like the "barrels" of a hinge... [attachment=38571] If I do another one like this....I might extend the splines a bit...to look just like a hinge was used... Wasn't enough room to add a tray to the inside...I think I can just call this box...Done? Thanks for looking in.. |
