And now you tell me that it's only good for firewood. Thanks for the late advice.

Mick, let them all talk, you are on your way to create a lidded box, that's what count.
Keeps us informed about the progress.

Redgum likes to move so a snug fit = future problems.
So don't try for a tight fit of the lid... but if it "rattles" slightly then you should be right. Besides, it makes it more usable when you can remove the lid with just one hand.
