requesting help from the mathematicians again please.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back on track with the chevron box but I want the lid also to follow the pattern. (like this)
Can anyone please do me a sketup, The box should have 4 sides each 225mm.
So that is 112.5 to the centre line which is not variable.
It will be my normal drop in lid design, no hinges, might have to put on a overlapping lip at lid edges to look decent.
No rush, snow showers forecast as per picture below until Thursday.

Perhaps I should rephrase and request a sketchup plan. Maths will be required..

Returned to the shed, weather improving again!.(thick frost this morning tho)
Rebated the top and bottom of each side on the router table and then laid out ready for gluing up the sides. Using wooden blocks (from waste bin again ) which will be screwed down to my flat work base as per pic. below.
All corners glued, blocks and clamps as per picture.
Reasonably happy this morning after removing clamps, that with a little sanding at mitre corners and one or two other fiddles to come this lower portion of box will be satisfactory.

Got an MDF base fitted which I might veneer at a later date after looking at pictures this morning. The sides have sanded down quite nicely and mitres are reasonable if not perfect. I might insert angular supports at each internal corner because I have most probably sanded down to 9mm thick timber.
Making a former for the top lid as per photographs below.
The box upended and fitted into the former, this should ensure the lid comes out to size and fit.
More delays, car going up the repair shop. etc.etc.
Being retired I seem to have no spare time for anything hobbywork these days. :roll:
