This is an old
English design originally called "Ladies work box". I find no reason
why a gentleman should not use this box as a sewing work box but
even so I have kept the original name. The box is supposed to be
divided in compartments to keep different sewing tools and threads,
but of course it can be adapted to any desired use. The original
pattern suggests making the box as a whole piece and then the box
and lid created by cutting the entire piece with a band saw. The
restored pattern I have made permits you to choose between using
this system or making the box and lid separately. The box is
completed with hinges and a lock.
The
box is designed to be made preferably with 1/4 and 1/8 inches wood or with 6
and 3 mm wood, but of course it can be resized at will to fit any wood
thickness. The following table gives the dimensions of the box depending on the wood thickness you use:
