What to do…make a box lid and practice with the angle grinder So I had a walnut short that was split, so I broke it apart and here's what it turned out to be. One side is the lid top with the knot acting as the handle and the other is the tray I went to town with. I intended for the tray to have two sections but the angle grinder said only one was do-able. So with much hand sanding, this is how it turned out. The box is butt jointed with walnut dowels, pin hinge lid. I messed up on the back side (one of those common 'duh' moments of mine) and ended up having to add the chain support instead of the lid supporting itself. My Grandpa loves the knot handle, the tray AND the chain support so all is OK with me He helped hold one set of pliers while I cut the chain apart and bent it back together around the eye screw. We did this together so it's a little extra special. He hasn't seen the final product with the nice black velvety upholstery fabric liner yet. I don't have a destination for this box as of yet, I just wanted to see what I could do with that split board, really. Finished it with I think 5 coats of wipe on gloss poly. That tray really does shine, the grain is really pretty.
