Apart from the missing nut that looks in perfect condition. Is yours
a duplicate for some where else?

That box is similar to the four that I need to make. I'm still waiting
for photos of the original.

I thought I would have the base and back in one piece and the other
three sides as another piece.

Makes the folding easier if nothing else. You can probably tack
solder that those two peices into a mechanicaly stable object then
solder along the join in a single pass with a small blow torch. Or
you could try brazing it, which would be stronger than soft
soldering.

Hah! I better investigate brazing. I'm tempted to have a look at
getting it cast in a foundry. This may be harder than I thought.
