This recipe box can hold more
than recipe cards—buttons, ad-
dress cards, candy, crayons, almost
any little thing around the house
can find a home in it.
1. If you are unable to purchase
the 1/2" stock needed for the reci-
pe box, custom plane the neces-
sary amount of 3/4" stock or resaw
t on a bandsaw.
2. Cut the basic box parts (A, B, C,
D, E) to the dimensions found in
the materials list with the grain
running the way indicated in the
drawings. Rip a 70° bevel on the
upper edges of the front, back, and
top pieces and make 70° angled
cuts across the upper ends of the
sides.
3. Make a simple jig to hold the
top and back pieces at a 70° angle
while you make the cutouts for the
hinge. The jig consists of a 2 x 4
with a beveled front face (see the
jig layoutend view) that is
fastened to a table saw miter
gauge with counterbored
carriage bolts and wing nuts.
The jig must be long enough to
be used on either side of the
saw blade. (A 12" length
should suffice for most saws.)
4. Cut the notches on the top and
back pieces with your saw blade
(or dado blades, if you have them)
set to a height of 9/16". Hold each
piece firmly against the jig and
keep its beveled edge flush with
the table top while cutting. Make
the notch at the center of the top
piece wide enough to create 1/64"
of clearance on either side where
the two pieces fit together.
Fit the top and back pieces to-
gether with their faces flush and a
1/16"-thick spacer holding them
slightly apart. Center and drill 1/4"-
diameter holes through each wing
of the top piece 1" deep into the
adjacent part of the back piece.
This process is best done with a
horizontal boring machine while
the prices are held flat on a table
top and against a fence .
6. Cut a 1/2" radius on the hinge
sections of the top and back. Sand
one end of each dowel so that it
will rotate easily when fit inside the
back.
6. Dry assemble the top and back
to make sure the dowels fit and the
hinge operates properly. Sand parts
as needed.
7. If desired, cut a scallop in the
inside edge of the front to make it
easier to get to the front cards.
8. Glue the box together without
the top. Keep excess glue off the
visible parts and clamp until the
glue dries.
10. Set the top in place lining up its
dowel holes with those of the
back.Push the dowels through the
holes
in the top until they barely pene-
trate the back. Apply glue on the
last 3/4" of each dowel, then push
them the rest of the way in until
they are flush with the sides of the
top.
11. Give the box a final touch up
with sandpaper, then finish as de
sired. Attach the knob and mount
felt pads on the upper edge of the
front.
