re: Captain's Keepsake Chest

Thanks Oldtool, 987Ron.... the hinge was not drilled. All done on my tablesaw. Without being long winded, I basically used a box finger joint approach to make the barrels, used my dado blade and ripped a precise calculated depth on edge, radiused the bottom along slot length, plugged the open end of slot length and radiused again. Then I made an insert tool that I made to shove in the one piece dowel.
