Actually, there's no need to scan it...

FWIW, there's a complete step by step for making a wooden safe in the
book "Box by Box". The one in the book is a small one intended to be a
child's bank, but the same principle should work for a larger one.

If you've got Amazon Prime you can borrow it for free for a month. If
you don't it's available for Kindle for $11.99. Note that you don't
need a Kindle--there are free readers for PC, Mac, Iphone, and quite a
lot of other stuff.

If neither of those is a viable option let me know and I'll see if can
find my copy.

As I wrote it was used in Danish movies and a part of danish culture today,=
and it looks cool, yes. Fun to build to as Bill mentions.
And I can think of several uses of it.

So, why not for this winters project?

Maybe I fill it with bottle for a part at some time?

Other than the fact that it looks cool, and is fun to build... why would
anyone want to build a safe out of wood?

So it will float in case any would be thieves try to make off with it
in a leaky boat.

Unfortunately, that is a preview only... not the whole book. I didn't see
the safe in the few pages shown.
