my new tool chest built from wood

I’d imagine that you can fill it with every tool I own, and it would still be half empty. I love the idea of everything having it’s own place. A very pretty design that might have been built 100 years ago aw well as yesterday…

Assume it will also get wheels for mobility? Or are they already there and the wedge just hold the chest in place where you need it?

Thanks for kind comment yes steven wheels are under the bottom skirt to hide them but they function fully it’s a great help to me.Alistair

Wow, nice. Sorry to hear about your parkinsons but it looks like you do very well with it. Does it bother you+ much? Hang tough and keep up the good work.

Nice design with clean lines. Please tell us more about the materials you used. It appears the upper section has the drawers set back to allow for doors.

Beautiful!!

What type of finish will you use to prevent the machine oil from staining the wood?

I just varnished it believe me, no oily stuff gets near this. Only all measuring devices chucks including micro collet chucks and tungsten and hss tools and blanks quick change toolholders one day I will post pics of my machine shop which I have very well equipped etc, etc. All clean stuff it is nearly full though The top cabinet I still have not finished yes this is a copy of a well known desing on the top box the lid opens to reveal a storage facility and there is a wooden slide front panel no doors but good guess thanks for the very kind comments. I am alone a lot of the time not many people even know I have workshops so the encouragement you lovely people really makes me get out even on bad days (WGHICH ARE BECOMMING TOO MANY THESE DAYS ) to do something I am about to start on a new project but haven’t decided what to do yet thanks again and GOD Bless ALISTAIR

Alistair, This is a beautiful chest that is not only functional but it beauty is representative of the craftsmanship that went into it. Many of us simply settle for functionality when it comes to shop furniture but you have gone well beyond the “call of duty” with this piece.

Thanks for sharing.
