The strap hinges, hasp, and staple for the Dutch tool chest are installed. I had to take the hasp apart and flip one piece to make it into an offset hasp so it would better fit the chest. Also, I had to use a spacer when attaching the strap hinges to the back so that the pivot point would get closer to the outside of the chest or I would not have been able to open the lid without leaving a gap between it and the lip of the chest. Finally, I wanted the back of the lid to protrude a bit, so I had to carve a couple of notches in the lid to allow the strap hinges to open all the way to their stopping point (otherwise the lid would not open past the vertical). #DutchToolChest #ToolChest #HandToolsOnly #Poplar
