Third times a charm

Well...what can I say! I really messed up again! When I got home from work today I set off to finish toolbox #2. When I went to rivet the 4th (and last rivet) to attach the handle to the lid, the rivet gun slipped off the head and bent to toolbox cover!!!! AHHHHHH!!!Lesson learned! Do not have you wife hold the lid and you try to rivet. It's just not a good way to work.

Lucky for me, I had a third tool box. In no time at all I was back up to speed. This time around I clamped the lid in the vice and bucked the 4 rivets for the handle. I countersunk the bottom hinge and dimpled the top hinge. After that everything was moving like a Swiss Watch! Precision and Perfection!!
