Post Gun box lid attachment
I had a 1x1x5 gun box made with the left over aluminum sheet i had from replaceing the floor in my boat and i was wondering what the best way would be to attach the hinges for the lid? I didn't want to screw them on and have the screws sticking out inside the box where they are sharp. Is there a better way to attach them with some type of adhesive or is it best to just deal with the screws?

Rivets would be best but you could go with small bolts so you could grind them smooth to the nut inside.
