Well....here it is Day 3 is O V E R.!!!!
I got two shipments today:
1. The order from Lee Valley is here. I can start the process of making a set of prototype wooden hinges for this box.
2. I got a piece of Gaboon Ebony that I am less than pleased with. For $50 plus shipping for a 19" long piece of 4/4" wood, I expected it to be FLAT on the faces of the board. Instead, there are planer grooves 1/8" deep on each face and Opposite sides that takes half of each face at a taper cut to one end.!!!! Needless to say that it's time to call the supplier.
Any way, I got some little bullet hinges that are nickle plated in case the wooden hinges fail me during the making. I "really" don't want to go the route of the bullet hinges on this box as I honestly belive that it just wouldn't look "right" with cheap bullet hinges.
<b>I feel as though I'm about to "blow a fuse"!!!!</b> :eek: :(
