After allowing the glue to dry… not that the dovetails needed glue… they were tight to begin with…
Here is a few photos of the box after cutting the lid off… using the bandsaw and the Sand Flee to sand the cut surfaces…
A few little tricks for attaching butterfly hinges…
Use business cards as spacers when clamping the lid to the box and a little daub of Super Glue to hold the hinges in place while you pre-drill the holes… then insert the screws…
Works a treat…
Next post will see the finished box… and its sister… with a few coats of Penetrol penetrating oil…
Neat!
I’ll have to try the super glue trick!!
Lew, it does work…
