Box II Hardware Installation

pix.gif (49 bytes)
Prerequisites: Router I and Jumpstart I

After making a large box, you will mount many types of hinges, lid supports, locks and pulls into the same lid. For more opportunities, you can cut the bottom off the box to create a second lid. No one will be expected to buy all the different hardware used in this class; however several sets of each hardware will be available for fitting. Fabricate templates for routing quadrant hinge, butt hinge, and soss hinges. These production techniques usually produce cleaner mortises then chiseling them by hand. Your practice box will be especially useful for the Jewelry Box class for the next time you will need to mount hardware on your box making projects. Please note: you must have taken Jumpstart I and Router I prior to coming to this class.
