Chip Carving a Glove Box
Chip Carving Instructions
Glove Box - Chip Carved
GLOVE BOX.
The carving on this box represents an interesting variation of grooving. The outer line of the pattern represents a vertical wall about 3/32 deep, and should be cut first with the knife held vertically.
The chip is cut slanting from the line next the outer line to this vertical wall. Only one-half of the front and top patterns is shown.
The front and end shown in the drawing are the parts below the cover.
If a lock is added to this box the front pattern should be modified to recognize the keyhole.
A box like this should be glued and bradded together completely and then the cover sawed apart along the line of separation; 3/16 is allowed for this.
