Box lids

You can do through dadoes and use plugs to close up the open ends. If you use scrap from the same wood, you shouldn’t be able to tell. Especially if you make them slightly tapered so they fit very tightly. Then sand flush.

Alright after milling the lumber for the tops I said there is no way I want to sit the long enough to take 3/4 stock down to 1/4 to face glue to plywood. So after a couple hours I came up with the idea of just taking the lids down to 5/8” and leave them 1/2” oversized then attaching them with floating cleats which would be hidden by the cedar liner I already had planned on doing. Seems like it would be really simple. So what are the bought a on this?

-- Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again, but life goes on.
