Love the forum and now would appreciate some advice.
I have spent an inordinate amount of time making a simple box. Using forums, books and Utube I'm slowly learning some skills but sometimes my eagerness to construct gets in front of my planning.
The pics show my box so far. It measures about 5.5x 8.5x 4.5". I plan to make a 1-2" bevel on the top to lighten the appearance. The top as planned overhangs an all sides about 1/4". My problem is that I don't know what sort of hinges to use that would allow the top to overhang in the back or perhaps the top in back should be flush with the box but this is not the look I had planned. I would like the top to stay open by itself once raised. I have trouble reading about hinges and visualizing how to apply them and would love the thoughts of folks who make boxes.
Thanks,
