I have blundered into a situation I could use some help on.
I've made three small "treasure boxes" for the grand-daughters aporx 6X10" from 1/2" stock. The top is from 3/4" with a routed profile.
The problem is that I made the top 1/4" larger, so the top is 6 1/4 X 10 1/4. I don't know how to mount the top...
I would think, if I flush mounted the back of the hinge to the sides, the 1/4" overhang of the top would hit the side at 90 degress when open. Also, the hinge can't be morticed into the top, because of the over-hang, so it would have to be surface mounted to the top. And I'm not sure how that would look.
Obviously, I've never done this before. Any help would be appreciated.
TIA - Ken
