How about a shot with it open!

Sweet work on this one Ed. That walnut in the top sure sets this one off.

How do you hinge the lid?

Outstanding.

How do you hinge the lid?

Thank You.... the hing is pinned with 1/8" brass rod. Very simple, yet effective. Prior to beveling, I have a couple of plywood spacers inside the box to hold the lid in position, then clamp it down to keep it from shifting.... then over to the drill press and drill 1/8" hole 1-3/8" from the rear and 7/32" from the top.... overall height of the box is 3.5"... I keep the pins long, about an inch or so more than needed for test fitting, etc..... then once I'm satisfied, cut them down close to the box as I can get and sand flush. You want to keep them long until ready because once they are installed - they won't come out.

Hope that helps.

I'll have more pictures of it, hopefully this evening.... just gotta remember to take some.
