Re: Cherry candle box

Thanks, it was a great project to practice what I learned at the school. The outside dimensions are: 12 long, 6 7/8 wide, and 4 1/8 high. The width and height were set just to get the max out of the wood I had at the time. The sides are 5/8 thick; the front and rear are 1/2; the top and bottom panels are also 1/2. The panel grooves are 1/4 x 1/4. I used 1:8 for the dovetails. The pin center spacing in the rear is 1 1/4 and the front is 1 1/16. Hope this gives you enough to get started. Good luck.
