Candle Sconce with Drawer Free Project Plan

Here is a woodworking project that will add a lot to any Early American setting. It is very functional since the drawer is a great place to store matches. Every time the power went out before, I never could find matches. With this candle sconce you, too, will be ready, with a candle and matches in its drawer.

Instructions

Step 1
Study the drawing of the exploded view so that you know how it all goes together.

Step 2
Cut all of the pieces to size according to the materials list.

Step 3
Lay out the shape of the back, part number 1, and the two sides, parts number 2, using a 1/2-inch grid. Transfer the shapes to the wood, and cut them out. Be sure to make an exact pair of sides.

Step 4
Carefully make the two "stop" dadoes, 1/2-inch wide and 1/8-inch deep on the inside surfaces of the sides. Be sure to stop the dadoes 1/4inch from the back edge.

Step 5
After all of the pieces have been made, assemble the case. Check that everything is square. Be sure to screw the holder, part number 4, to the shelf, part number 3, before assembly.

Step 6
Fit the drawer assembly to the case. Add the knob, part number 10.

Step 7
This project looks great either stained or painted. Add a candle and don't forget to put matches in the drawer.
