Paul cuts and fits the retaining strips with mitres at the corners and the lid support strips. He then starts the fitting of the lid and creating the pintels used as the hinging system. Applying a safe finish gives the project its final lustre.

Paul introduces a unique method for bringing each corner of the box together.
Paul describes his work using his sensory perceptions as he begins the joinery layout and then makes each of the corner joints.
