Not much to say, nor anything to show in this post.
Just received the locking hardware from Lee Valley which was the last thing I needed to finish this build at this point. I thought about making the locking set myself, but seeing the set LV offers it just didn’t make any sense so I just ordered it from them with the Free Shipping they offer this week. arrived in 2 days and installed today – very nice set, and works like a charm.
The set I got is this one:

This Toolbox is officially considered complete, and has been posted here on LJ:
I will keep this thread alive as I still plan on making custom drawer inserts for all the toolings and such.
Thanks for reading, and have a Happy New Year!

Sharon,
Nicely done my friend… The combination of wood figuring and complimentary colors make the end result WAY too pretty for the shop…....

thanks for the comments – I could try to build the toolbox not pretty on purpose so that it’ll ‘fit in a shop’ – but why bother – it’s the same amount of work.
