I have used sliding lid boxes a few times,but every time I do , I spend more time then I want to getting the neck and all the fitting right.I cant charge more for time the customer "cant see" , so I'm steering clear ( when I can) of sliders.
Sliders dont fit in my formula that I use to get em done and on the sale wall. But thats just me,guys thats not trying to get them done in numbers might enjoy the challenge of the fitting necessary to get the job done.

I have to agree I am not really a fan of the sliding lids either. Good luck

Turn the box around and use the back side of the box for the frong, that way you have a slidable back accsess panel in the back.....you can do what ever you want from in there....I am thinking about doing my next box like that, that way, when I work on it I don't have to worry about taking the strings off and crap. Good luck....can't wait to see these builds.

I agree with Jerry turn it backwards, would make a nice access from the back side for repairs later, I love the silver ware and boxes of this nature, more of a challenge to get it right
