Tapered Drawer Box
« on: August 30, 2013, 08:02:29 pm »
This box uses a 10 degree angled cut to hold the drawer into the frame and to give the inside of the drawer sides a slant (easier to get stuff out). It is 3" x 6" x 1" birch with 1/8" BB Ply top and bottom. The drawer pull is from Hobby Lobby.

beautiful little box Ray, love the way you tapered the sides - it gives it a very elegant look.

Nice looking project Ray, I like the concept of the angled drawer, much along the effect of using a bowl.  Thanks for sharing the information and picture with us.

Thanks for the nice comments.

It may not be obvious from the photo, but there is no bottom in this frame (the outer box). The frame is a U shape with BB Ply glued on as a top, with the frame bottom left open. The drawer is an oval with the center removed, and BB Ply on the bottom. The taper cut between the drawer and frame is what keeps the drawer from falling out the bottom of the frame - like a dovetail fit.

I will put together a pattern - this one was cut on the fly.
