I got a chest that I am planning on turning into a hand plane chest. It already has a place for the handsaws on the lid. Inside the chest was an old tool tote or parts tote. It was in rough condition, but I decided to try and save it anyway. Let me know what you think. Hit that subscribe button.
In MY Humble Opinion…...Absolutely stupid! You have an old original distressed looking tool tote, you sand it prime it, paint it, distress it, clear coat it! You should have just left it alone and used it.

Thanks for the input. I also have an even bigger tote, parts tote, that I will be just cleaning and actually using. This one I was going for more of a decorative look.
I think we all have different opinions when it comes to a distressed look. I would've stopped at sanding it, and put a clear coat on. That's a lot of work for a tool tote already distressed. As long as it's functional and you like it, that's what matters! Thanks for posting!
LOL
Should have stopped at 1:36 if it's actually for tools. If it's for your wife and keeps her from buying something from Pottery Barn then well done lol!
