Hello everyone
I am making a small project, a box. I am using thinner material than I have used before for boxes. It is 3/8" thick.
My question is: how to attach the lid. All the hinges I have used before requires 1/2" stock. I mortice the top edge of box and under the bottom of the lid leaving only the barrel of hinge exposed.
How does everyone handle this situation?
As a last resort, I could leave hinges off and make a floating top.
I appreciate any suggestions.
