We like you, Cash. We really do.
For the construction-ish minded:
We have an old footlocker we'd like to make into a toy box for Em. Obvously, we need to figure out a way for the top to not slam down and chop her fingers, toes or head off. We can't put one of those "stay-open" hinge things on it, so I'm trying to figure out a way to keep it open all the time. How could I do that, besides wedge something in there? We can't just take the top off - it's old and really put together well.
piece of wood or metal from top front corner of the base (storage part) to the top corner of the inner opened lid.
How do I affix it to the trunk so it can't be removed?
