Jewelry Box needs help
What is the best way to keep the lid on this jewelry box upright? I've got it propped up from behind with a jar for the photo. Lid Flopping over completely is not a good look. Suggestions are needed and welcome.

i looked around the internet and all the ones i saw had no chain or anything. maybe there using hinges that limit how far back they will open ?
working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.
Yep the chain support is the easiest solution. Other than that you'd probably have to replace the hinges. Very nice box.
Nice looking box.
Chain,/stay, replace hinges, or a lip/stop block on the back.
The chain or stay is probably the simplest retrofit at this point.

I like quadrant hinges. They make some that are spring and lock open. Install is a bit more involved than just hinges, but there are jigs.

I ordered the chain from Rockler, thanks guys. Next time I will try the 90 degree hinges

Wondering out loud if you could make some kind of stop blocks (mentioned above) like so
Figuring out how to do something you have never done is what makes a good challenge.
Mr bentylj. Good idea I will try it out next time. Got the chain on the way for this one.

It’s a wonderful box and has a lot of detail with those great drawers.
Horton Brasses have stop hinges for small boxes for your next project.
