This is my Second Project.
This is wooden rice chest. it’s a rice storage.
It’s opening is on top.
It took a lot of time than what i expected..
Pine was used as material.
Have a nice day.
PS.
In Drawing Picture :
The first joint connects pillar and beam. The second one is called Swallow beak joint. These two joints are traditional way of wood working. I just reproduced the traditional funiture.
PS.
Last Picture : It’s other person’s work.
We open it by pulling the hinged top up.

It’s a nice piece Block. I like it very much. You took an interesting approach to the front lower rails. Did you just glued them like that or did you also cut additional tenons inside the joint. I guess I’m going to steal this idea for some future project if you don’t mind.
Our rice chests usually have lower dispenser drawers that automatically fill with the desired amount of cups by pushing a button… but then, they are chiefly made of cheap plastic so no point in comparing them with your beautiful job.
Keep on posting more of your work!

That’s a great idea. It would keep my dog from making off with the rice bag (!).
Block – what are the actual dimentions of the box?

Nice job … I really like the joinery on this one … I just have one question … how does it open … from the looks of it, I’m guessing the top is hinged … but just thought I’d ask.

Very nice project, Block. This would be a nice weekend project for my kitchen. I’m working on a desk right now that’s based on Korean furniture design, and has some of the joinery you have in this rice box. I should be posting my project soon. Thanks for the post.
