Goosepoint here are the pics, hopefully this will help..I sent you a pm with the deminsions. from the base to the lid is 11.5 across the lid is 9 inches..I hope this helps. If you need more, just give me a yell.

What an attractive, clever and very useful item. DH did a great job. Thanks for sharing.

That is a great thread holder.

I really like it, it is great to hide my candy stash in lol

That is so neat.

I have one of these, but it is approx. 36 inches tall and is on a swivel base. I bought it in Springfield, Mo. at a sewing shop on St. Louis St. I have had mine for probably 20 years and really like it. Your husband is a crafty fellow

very nice! I like that alot more than the cheap plastic box I bought yesterday:)

How cool and handy!

Very clever.

my husband is amazing, I will say I need something and he will go in his garage and close the door, come out with a finished project.. but now at times, he over thinks things too much, I love to make rugs on a frame loom.. the one I had was 2x3 ft..I told him I would like one half that size, after a couple of weeks he drags this huge loom in the house.. it would do a rug 3x5 and had bunches of adjustments to do table runners, place mats, potholders..way too big for the house..sold it and finally got my 1.5 x 2ft size.
