Need Material Guide's for Wood Box

[barfiloi]

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

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..
