# Lidded Box 

## notes
  * end-grain boxes don't move much so tight-fit lid is possible
  * cross-grain (bowl-grain) boxes move and potentially oval so loose-fit is best

## sequence
  - prep
    - turn both lid and top as round as you like
    - put small recess in top of box and bottom of lid
  - box
    - expand-chuck box and rough-shape outside
    - add ridge at bottom for outside chuck grip
    - compress-chuck box on base and hollow inside, sand, and finish
    - expand-chuck base inside
      - push up to base of jaws to ensure square to rim
    - finish shaping, sanding, and finishing of outside and bottom
      - obviously remove chuck-marks on base if any and add any base details
  - lid
    - expand-chuck lid and add tenon/groove for compress-chuck at top
    - compress-chuck lid and size base of lid to diameter of box
      - if in-fitting then size to inside diameter of box
        - this will be the outside of a ridge
      - if out-fitting size to outside diameter of box
        - this will be the inside of a ridge
      - for salt-cellars there's no ridge since lid has hinge and slides over top of box
    - finish shaping bottom of lid
    - add groove to inside ridge area for expand-chuck lid later
    - taper ridge to allow for more options to size to box
    - sand and finish bottom of lid
      - be sure to test-fit to box
    - expand-chuck bottom of lid
    - shape top of lid as desired
      - include center knob for tight-fitting lids
      - lids that extend beyond edge of box don't need knobs
    - sand and finish box lid
