I have to admit that when I was asked to design and build this project it struck me as odd. Why would anyone want a junk box at the bottom of the stairs? Just as I was wondering about the judgment of project director Paul Lewis, I noticed my wife, Jill, arms filled with stuff, on her way upstairs. That's when I knew we could use one of these things after all.

There are important details to think about when designing a project like this. Size, weight and shape spring to mind, all of which are practical issues. That's why this project struck me as being more about utility than aesthetics. Sure, it needs to look good, but if that's all it does, the project is a failure.

I have a pretty good stash of old pine planks I've pulled from our house, so I decided to use some for this project. I also decided it would be a great opportunity to introduce you to hand-cut dovetails. They're much easier to cut in soft wood because too-tight parts still interlock fairly well.

I would have liked to build the stair box with standard 3/4"-thick lumber, but in the interests of keeping weight down, I opted for 1/2" material. If you don't have a thickness planer, consider visiting a friend who does, or plane your stock down by hand. The pieces aren't large and you'll have no trouble if you choose relatively knot-free wood. Before you cut the sides and ends to length and width for both the bottom and top box, measure the rise of your stairs. My design is ideal for stairs that rise 9", though that's easily adjusted by varying the height of the bottom box.
