I have been sorting out making a few more tool boxes as I am still short of a few.
The lids have always been the issue and having borrowed one press and not had much success I have sorted my own.
I have pressed the first one to try it out before ordering some round blank steel discs.
These discs are cut by water jet locally and are cheap to buy. This first one has been hand cut however the rest will be
trimmed to the correct size on a friends lathe.
The domed shape is the same as the original on my Ranger, not as domed as I have seen some reproductions.
