I haven't made many small wooden boxes (ie., Recipe Boxes, Jewelry Boxes
etc.)
I am starting a jewelry box for my daughter.
I can't see anyway of not glueing the lid top to the four lid sides
without glueing across the grain.
Can someone tell me the rule here.


Dado it in and use no glue in the dado. Like the panel in a raised panel
door.
