John,
ReplyDeleteI like this method a lot! It's a welcome change from the usual. And thanks for making the DVD on the kurinuki method.
I made a box with a triangular key for the lid. Separating the lid from the bottom tends to mess up the key. I'll try cutting the lid at an angle.
If you have any suggestions let me know what you propose.

Sorry, didn't see this. You can make a flange.
