Man that’s a cool box!
Thanks Image
Good idea but this and all further upgrades have to wait for the next two weeks since I am on vacation. Image

and very nice outdoor workshop :cool:

To flatten the crown guard,
I'm lazy, so I first try to bent it till the bottom sits flat. :angel:

With this wood color, a brass plate could be nice too.

And if you are to remove the magnet, you could also use a strap and buckle to close the box...

Just my 2cts.
