ah, that changes things of course. I made a couple of wannigans for canoeing and camping out of 1/4 birch ply but 3/8 would have been better. Long story short is it has a hinged lid as well as a drop front which doubles as a counter/ ledge. I used bullet catches but didn't do a very clean job of it but it works.
Ralph's workmanship is light years ahead of mine and damn fine looking. Don't have the patience to do fine woodworking etc..
As an aside, not sure where you're located but this place is a candy store for woodworkers if you like hardware and such.
