Made my 1st box where the top fits slightly over the bottom... Don't know the style name but, it's made by cutting halfway through on the insid of the board. After box is glued up you cut in from the outside just below the inside cut. apparently my accuracy is lacking some and I had to shave down the inner edge of the lid. Now that surface is not very even and I'd like to make it smooth (need to learn cuz similar will probably happen again). I used a chisel to cut the correct depth all around the inside of the lid. And then a scraper. I can scrape but, the area is so narrow (1/4") that all the scraper does is follow the irregularities.
Here is picture of the problem. Any help appreciated.
