with pleasure ...

I have contacted this box seller and designer and expressed him my good and bad feelings

He is a nice person who is out of time so much work he has, but he is open to an instructions manual improvement some how.

I am impressed by this Michael who have created his company and i believe he needs our 100% support

I have indicated him your thread

the base have been assembled, CA tacked and now is white glue drying.

The lid have been wood filled on the multi jonction parts, sanding tomorrow morning.

All parts fit perfectly, the kit is well cut.

Tools are part of my wood work hobby, love them as i love my models.

the box is completed !! I am very happy of the result, came out straight , closing very well , no issue on final step. Remains fixing some metal corners that i will look for.
your help was useful Popad ... and helped me to practice CA glue for tacking. Under control now.

Question: i understand that you have laminated your box ?

Hello Jean Luc. After seeing your picture, I also looked for the necessary parts. I find it in Leroy Merlin store and now installed them.

Thanks. It's a very good idea !
