Wow! Very, very cool. A lot of tricky joinery and detail in that box. Quite impressed here. May I ask; How many hours did you put into that?

This our father did for us.’ “ --John Ruskin. Audels Carpenters and Builders Guide, 1923 Theo Audel & CO. New York.

compound mitre angle formular equations from the triton bevel manual are;-
Large Mo = true mitre angle to be cut.
Large Bo = True bevel angle, (bevel guide angle)
small mo = corner half angle
small bo = side angle to the horizontal.
Ask wongo for further details

Er,... I liked the shop classes in high school BECAUSE there was not much math involved.
Do you expect us to be able to read that?

Labolle,
Didn't count the hours but at a guess I'd say about 20 to25. More if you count the first lid which I completely stuffed up.

Sorry Zenwood,
I forgot to answer your question about fixing the posts to the case. When the proper mitre angle had been cut on the 4 sides of the case, I just rebatted the tip of each mitre by 5 mm. Then after the glue up, the edges of the posts were glued into the rebates.
Regards
