Brand new here, looking for plans for a wood box, hinged lid.
You know, the one I built in 7th grade woods class, I need another one. The one I have is full.
I can adapt any size plans to the size I need, but I plan to dovetail the joints rather than nail.
Or, if there is a website, I'd gladly accept a point in the right direction
Thanks

Are you not sure how to do Dovetails? Making the box is the same principal, its just how you're joining it together. I would recommend you make and glue together the four sides, get it as square as possible. then glue a top and bottom piece of solid on. route it off and then cut lid off on the table saw. If your box isnt 100% square, it won't matter so much, since your cutting the lid off of the box you glued up. Understand?
