Grey Drakkon Report post Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) So Windrider's posts on making boxes lit a fire under me, since they coincided with me fiddling around with something at work. When cutting moulding on a miter saw, you end up with triangle shapes. If you get four of them and put them back to back, the rabbet of the moulding ends up pointed out and makes a snazzy lid! This is my first attempt, I happened to have some burgundy latigo scrap and one of the lids that went nice with that color, so I went at it. I'm frankly astounded that it turned out as well as it did, since I completely guessed at the height/angle of the curve for the sides. I cut the edges at an angle (which was a challenge) and saddle stitched them together, then burnished all the edges. The lid pops right in but not so snug that it's a pain to get on and off. Size is 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" by 2" tall. Edited April 4, 2016 by Grey Drakkon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Windrider30 Report post Posted April 4, 2016 I am glad I can help light a fire under someone! I really like that lid, oh and the edges of the boxes that I have done are just slicked I did not cut them at an angle the stitching pulls them intogether rather nicely.
