Sanding weather
Yesterday was a great day to do a little sanding outdoors.
After I finished sanding the coopered top for the chest I cut and made some hinges and a hasp for it out of an old leather belt.
You want to make sure the belt is a thick solid piece of leather and not two pieces laminated together.
When I made the original chest I was able to utilize the grommet holes in the belt. This time I had to use a punch to create the holes. I then attach them to the lid with some pan head screws.

The pan head screws have a larger top so they are better to use to attach the hinges, making them more secure.
I shaped the leather hasp and now I just have to punch holes in it and attach it to the lid and the chest.
We should resume shooting on Wednesday and get this episdoe in the can'
