Lid closing mechanism



The lid didn't close tight enough on its own to keep the pressure in. I made the wooden clip on the right to keep it closed tight.

It was too stiff, I wouldn't have been able to open the lid agin. So I took an old ruler and made a lid close out of that.




By that point I had already put the side panels on the pressure box. So I had to saw a large hole in the side of the panel so that I could attach this lid clip!
