W041 Make this Pirates Treasure Chest by Chris DeHut

Every Pirate's treasure chest has an adventure and this one is no exception. Chris DeHut walks you through all the steps to make this and along the way you will be shown some unusual techniques. The fun didn't stop at the end of construction with this project. Once complete, I filled it with little things that a toddler aged girl would like and hid it in the yard for her to find. We went on a treasure hunt, she found the treasure and enjoyed the haul! It went on in life as a toy chest and so on. This is a fun project to share a moment with you child or grandchild. I will never forget that moment with my granddaughter.

Outstanding explanation on how to build this box.
One thing I didn't see you do was explain how you're saying to the inside of the cover?

[@MakingStuffwithChrisDeHut]

Hi Thomas,
Not sure of your specific question but I will try to answer. As for the inside of the cover, that was not refined to a radius shape.

Great video thanks for this. I'm doing something like this eventually and there's little tips throughout for me and what I want to do.

Hi Michaelbuddy, thanks for the kind words and for stopping in to check out the video, much appreciated!

how do you work out the angle for the lid slats?

[@MakingStuffwithChrisDeHut]

Hi Martin,
There is a total of 12 bevel cuts made on the slats at 15 degrees, 12 * 15 = 180 degrees
