Requirements

Body. 1 Butter Box (about 5% in. deep, 13% in. wide, 141/4 in-long).

Top. Two Pieces 1/2 in. thick, 1 1/2 in. wider than one half the outside width of the box, by 3 in. longer than the outside length of the box.

Legs. 4 Strips 3/8 in. thick, 13/8 in. wide, by 7 in. longer than the outside depth of the box. 4 Strips 3/8 in. thick, 1 3/4 in. wide, by 7 in. longer than the outside depth of the box.

Sole Block. 1 Block 2 in. thick, shaped like the sole of a shoe.

Hardware. 2 11/2 in. hinges (butts) and screws.

Construction

Make the legs 7 inches longer than the outside depth of the box. Remove the cover. Turn the box on end and nail on the legs. Stand it right side up on the legs; nail on one half the cover, allowing it to project evenly on the side and ends. Hang the other half of cover, placing the hinges in the joint between each half cover. Cut the edges of each half cover to let the hinges in even. Nail the sole block on the under side of the hinged half of the cover, and turn this hinged half over on the fixed half when it is necessary to place the foot on the sole block.
