Although refrigerators long ago rendered them obsolete, antique oak ice boxes remain popular with collectors, even though they’re expensive and hard to find. This do-it-yourself version is neither: it’s both inexpensive and easy to build. An authentic reproduction of an original, the project is especially popular when used as a bar, but it has many other uses. The top opens up to reveal a convenient storage area, and the lower cabinet features two compartments perfect for glassware and other fragile items.
The ice box measures 38 inches high by 24 inches wide by 16 inches deep.
Love the ice box
Thank you so much for this
Brilliant I am going to make this my first project!
This would be great
Do this really keep ice cold?
Looks just like the one my Great Grandparents had! Can’t wait to try this one out!
Thank you
Beautiful!
I’m going to modify the edges to match my mission oak decor! I’ll let you know how it turns out!
Love it
That looks very fun to build
Looks fab I’ll make a pair
I think there is potential to build a small refrigerator out of this unit.
Thank you. I have been trying to find a plan for years.
Do you have a link to purchase the hardware? Specifically the handles.

Looks like a great place to keep my hard liquor.
From out of the past, comes a new blast. A great conversation piece, and it is useful.
I’m going to try this one..
Very interesting! We just happen to own an original icebox that is utilized for storage for baking supplies inside and a cat lounging area on the top, when it is closed.
Icebox 2 door
Ill give this one a shot! I like the looks of this piece.
Can I make the ice box a working ice box, for that period?
You probably could, but I don’t know what would be needed to do this. You’ll have to do some homework on what components are needed for a working ice box.

I have boxes and boxes of woodworking magazines, some as old as 20 years. It seems as though the same projects keep resurfacing every few years, with minor modifications.

Ticket 21516 Which glues would you use in building a project.
Dear Dale,
Thank you for your patience. In regards to your question-
You could use whatever woodworking glue you would like for this project. I generally use Titebond III because it has good working time, and is waterproof for projects that require that.

ice box
Looking forward to getting started.
Interesting piece. My folks had one similar they used.
Sign me up
Basic project, great for the first timer
Looking for plans for a rocking chair along with other plans for furniture for my soon to be grandchild!
Looking at the size This must be a scaled down version . I remember the Ice box as being much larger. Room enough for a fifty pound block of ice.
About how much cost in material?
Hi Stuart. It is impossible for us to say, as the pricing will vary based on the species of wood that you use, what hardware you choose, and the cost of these items in your area. I’d suggest bringing the plan to a local woodworking store and pricing out the materials.
Thanks

Hi Paul thanks for the response. I’m looking for a project for Christmas gifts for the family I need 12. This year I made Finger Joint boxes out of pallet wood that I’ll fill with peanut brittle. I’d like to try something a little nicer and more functional next year. But without blowing the budget. Thanks again, Stuart
