Got a question about putting in the hinges. While the looks aren’t really THAT important for a box that won’t leave the shop, I was wondering if it’s possible to chop out one layer of the plywood to sink the hinge just a bit. Any pros or cons to doing that? Or should I just screw the hinges right on the top? P.S. The plywood is 1/4” -- Eric at http://adventuresinwoodworking.com
