These things are sent to try us. But I am damned if I know what for.

Traditionally, the end panel would fit into a groove in the coopered sides of a barrel. Doing the same for your lid would have prevented this although would have resulted in a different look for the box.
Nice video of some coopering here:

Hi,
Yes I agree. Excuse my dodgy drawing but I was thing of something like this.
There would still be allowance for movement but the end grain of the side would be captured.

Good luck with it.
I'm sure it is in safe hands!

Lucky this is just an internet WIP - in the real world there would be LOTS of little faces pressed up against the windows of Alex's workshop !
Keep the good stuff coming Alex; I've certainly learned a few tricks re. jigs etc. from following this one. Of course, if this was TV, right now you'd be reaching for a fresh part with that well-known phrase "and here's one I prepared earlier"....
Cheers

Hi Alex
That was unfortunate. The end grain was tricky, in retrospect too weak to attempt. I know - been there and done that.
I built a similar box to yours but avoided the issues you had with a slight difference in the coopered lid and how it attached (in some ways the reverse of yours) ...

OK - I'm waiting to see who is game to join the curved end panels to the coopered lid with a 45 degree mitre on both pieces......no end grain showing anywhere.
Might be possible using a large 45 degree bit in the router table, with the end panel curve taken directly from the outside profile of the coopered lid?

Hi Alex
4 years on and stable.
The inside curve was faired and smoothed, and the side pieces were just glued in. Here are clearer photos ...
