Subject: need plans for a roll top breadbox


Just decided to make a roll top breadbox, and just so I don't screw it up I
was wondering if anyone had plans to help me on my way?

Thanks,
Clint

Hi Clint,
Lee Valley/Veritas sells Tambours for bread boxes (i.e. the rolling
part, which is essentially wood strips attached to felt). The box is
really a matter of two sides with rabbited slots for the rolling
tambour, a bottom and any decorative additions you may add to the box
(i.e. chamfering, design work, scroll work, etc.).

I also found two links on this site:
http://absolutelyfreeplans.com/INDOOR%20PROJECTS/indoor_projects.htm

but one is just a box.

I know I saw a plan for one in a book I was looking at recently. If I
can find it I'll send what I can. Best of luck!

Thank you very much for looking into it for me.
If you do come across the plans for the roll top I would really appreciate
it.

Clint

Rockler used to, I believe, so there are some out there. Quick search
turned nothing other than books.

I have one my dad built in his "rolltop" phase. Though his prototype was
bigger than a breadbox, what I have is basically a scaled-down version of
the roll top on the desk now residing at my daughter's. You might want to
check for desk plans and scale down.
