Woodsmith Slant-Sided Tote Plan
Boxes are always great projects. But add a handle to a box and you have a tote that can be used in a variety of ways from a handy supply caddy for crafts to a picnic basket to a gift box filled with goodies. With this many uses and the simple construction you may want to make more than one. The box is just four sides and a bottom joined with rabbets and screws. The real challenge is making the handle. It uses a bent lamination technique that incorporates a shop-made jig and thin strips of wood. The result is a handle with a smooth graceful curve that will surely be noticed.
We offer the Woodsmith Slant-Sided Tote plan as a downloadable PDF or a printed format that we ship to you.
This easy-to-assemble tote goes together quickly. And the bent wood handle offers a chance to try a new technique.
Step-by-step instructions, exploded views, materials list, and more—these plans have everything you need to build your own Slant-Sided Tote.
