Slanted-Lid Box
Keep your kitchen essentials close at hand in this practical project, plus its traditional construction makes it a breeze to build.
Designed primarily with kitchen use in mind, this slanted-lid box has two drawers in the front for storing small, frequently used items. Opening the lid reveals a surprisingly large storage area that is big enough to serve as a bread box. It’s also sized to accommodate several boxes of plastic wraps and foils. Conveniently, the lid doubles as a book (or tablet) holder. It’s the perfect place for keeping your recipes close at hand.

Imperial Plans
The United States Customary System of Units (USCS or USC), more commonly referred to as the English or Imperial system, is the standard set of units for our plans. It uses inches and feet for measurement. This is the one you probably want if you are in the United States, and it is the one we have traditionally offered on this website.

Metric Plans
The International System of Units (SI), more commonly referred to as the metric system, is the alternative set of units that we have available for some of our plans. It uses millimeters, centimeters, and meters for measurement. This is the one you probably want if you are outside the United States. These plans are provided by our business partner, Australian Woodsmith, and are based on the original Woodsmith plan. However, dimensions and other elements of the plan may vary between the metric and standard versions. Be sure to double-check the plan before building.
