barfiloi Posted March 15, 2023 Share #1 Posted March 15, 2023 (edited) Hi all I am thinking of making some wooden storage boxes for my children’s bedroom. I was looking at sliding lid opening but a little unsure how these are made. I saw some examples on many sites but couldn’t find any plans. Any help will be greatly appreciated Edited March 15, 2023 by barfiloi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaager Posted March 15, 2023 Share #3 Posted March 15, 2023 I am not really sure just what you mean by sliding lid, but I am imagining a sheet of wood fixed between two rabbets. It slides in the rabbets. At best, only 50% of the plane can be open. A roll top could maybe get you a 90% opening. Instead of a single sheet, the movable part would be slats with rounded edges and bonded to a tough fabric. The rabbet would need to have a navigable curve and continue down the back. In any case, the rabbet is a dado cut on a table saw or a straight bit router cut.. mtaylor 1 Quote NRG member 45 years Current: HMS Centurion 1732 - 60-gun 4th rate - Navall Timber framing HMS Beagle 1831 refiit 10-gun brig with a small mizzen - Navall (ish) Timber framing The U.S. Ex.
