Thanks for all of the great information. I would like to ask if there is a method for attaching a brass backplate to a sliding patchbox lid without using wood screws.

Thanks

If you want to avoid the look of screwheads on the brass covering the butt of the sliding wooden patchbox lid, you can use tiny screws, countersink them just a little, and after tightened down, file the heads off the screws.

if you did that with brass screws and peened the half filed heads out a bit then filed and polished them flush they'd be invisible.
