Captain's Treasure Chest II

Nice chest. I’m a fan of all things nautical and wooden hinges are one of my little hobbies so I find lots to like here.

Thanks.

Nice chest and very interesting hinges!!

-- I have metal in my neck but wood in my blood!!

One bit of additional information…..the leaf for the hinge must be made of plywood. A piece of regular wood will eventually split. I used a piece of 1/8 inch aircraft plywood.

Nice little chest, but the hinges are what really, really get my attention. So simple, but gosh, they look like they work. I’m gonna give this a try on my next box. Thanks for sharing.
