I made a number of them and they are a lot of work.
Also, sourcing slotted screws is also a problem nowadays and I was lucky with the wood as at our wood club we buy it by the lift and that can and does get expensive.
The jointing is a hoot if you do dovetails and finger joints and you are still able to buy the original hardware and clean it up and use it.

Nice work Skiprat! My brother is the metal cutter of the two of us right now - about 80 miles south of you. Will ping your PM and see what we can do.

I have the hinges and turnbuckles all made up and shipping from the UK already. Could have saved you the CAD time setting up a laser cut run.
The trade rates we offer are OK.
We have thousands of correct to era vintage British
screws on the shelf. I bought out a lot from an old stockist a while back.
Turnbuckles are getting tricky.

If anyone needs a few of those for the Canadian No.15 or Bren chest let me know.
