How are these tackle box tops done?

Fixed pictures. Exclamation marks? Really? Whatever happened to good old /image tags.

Those are tackle boxes? That top one is sweeeet. I’d buy those in a heartbeat!

I think that last picture you posted pretty much shows how the top is constructed. What more do you need to know?

probrably some material that was 8/4 thick, resawn so it bookmatches, glued up then glued on the box itself, fianlly he cuts the top off….at least thats what it looks like to me. If you make on do something else on top so it has a better water resistence. Aftyer all you are taking it fishing arent you?

I believe its pretty much getneds way, the top is probably rabbeted all the way around and just drops into the sides, little glue and a tight fit and some clamps and your done.

Wood expansion is pretty negligible on smaller items making it a lot easier to do something in box form that would blow up if expanded up to table size.

“What more do you need to know?”

I was wondering how he dealt with wood expansion when it appeared to be directly glued. Even tiny boxes people always leave the customary room for expansion. Marcb seems to address that though.
