Mum's new project
#31
It's looking good.  Any issues with lining up the lid using new hinges?

Haven’t tried yet but should be ok. I want to get it painted before I put the top back on.

I have a couple of gas arms you can have. Well actually, not really arms, I guess they are legs and they stink.. anyway, you can have them at no cost. Ha. Seriously try here.

So fast forward to the present. We use the hope chest as a coffee table. Slightly too tall (always bugged me). Plus, the original hinges weren't on, the molding I purchased didn't fit exactly right and I couldn't keep the top open. 
So I finally took it to a guy I have used to re finished some furniture.  What a great job he did and all for a 100 bucks.

He took off the molding I put on & custom made molding for the front & sides. he cut about an inch & a half off the bottom & put on the original hinges.

You can see I now can keep the top open and take a look at the legs, perfect height.

This is how it looks opened up.

Gonna need a new paint job, but well worth it.

That's gonna look great after you're done painting it.

What is that wooden block for, inside, on the right top?

Was made with the chest, just a storage box. If you recall, Parkster did some research on how this was made with home made nails etc.

Looks awesome Mum.
Fishing is much more than fish. It is the great occasion when we may return to the fine simplicity of our forefathers.
