Bible holder

[Judy Hunter]

I am looking for a pattern for a bible holder.  Made in two parts that slips into each other so open it spreads out and holds a book. But slips together to lay flat.  I hope I made it plain enough to understand what I am thinking about.

Would it be hinged?

Hi Judy,Is this the sort of thing your after, you will have to cut the slots the size of the wood you are useing, never made a pattern for anything like this before but it should work........Paul

[Judy Hunter]

No hinges Janet but I think grampa's idea might work.
Thanks Grampa.

I like it Grampa, had to think about how it would work a bit but saw the idea and as Judy said I think it will work.

It took me a while but I think I get it.

I guess i'm alone in my confusion...um, how does it work?

Is it something like this on Sue Mey's site??

Or...you could always use Steve's plan...and just enlarge it on a copy machine.

I'm thinking you are looking for something that holds the bible to read it?  Or is it a storage box?

I printed out the pattern that grandpa posted and compared it to a Bible holder I have. It was much smaller. I re-sized the picture and changed the graphic. I hope you don't mind grandpa and if you do I will delete the pictures. I printed out the pattern and it is still a little smaller than the one I have. The only way I see it working is if the cut where they go together is angled at a 45?.

ok this is going to be bad but as you knoe my hands don;'t work so good.  I know what grampa has in mind and it would work but what I was originally thinking was like this bad drawing.  A long time ago, I made a patio chair with this method  it was slats that one half fitted into the other.

That is the way grampa design would look when assembled. I don't think you would have to cut the slots on an angle. As long as the wood was 1/4" or thicker it should work.   

[Judy Hunter]

Yep this one is on my brain burner.  I am going to design it with fretwork/scrolley type stuff instead of pictures.

[Dawie]

Nice twist Judy and your drawing is not at all bad.

I think if you cut the slots where they go together a little wide it should work.The wider te the slots the more flat it will lie. My 2 cents. Bobby

Dear Judy: I liked the pattern that you sent and I took the dare to do so, but the image is too small to calarla in its original size, for this reason combined it with depth and pyrography, I hope not bother you like plus the idea of combining ... greetings from Puebla, Mexico
