Toolbox

Very nice toolbox. I like the carrying handles. Great work Chris!

This my sincere opinion, you can cut the groove for the drawer bottom by using hand held router and do not cut all the way through from end to end so as not to let it expose when the drawer in open position. Correct me if I’m wrong.
Thanks for sharing.

This is a good start to a great craftsman. You did a good job on this. However you need to clean up the box joints. Leave the tails proud and then sand them flush with the pins. Othere then that its a great start to something wonderful.

a job that helps keep order in the tools is the best work can be done. Will any finish?

Thanks for all the comments.

Dave: Thanks for the advice, after I assembled the box I realized I should have made the pins longer and cut them to size.

Omega: I’m still trying to decide weather or not I’m going to put a finish on it, probably not.

Nice job good mix of wood you might want to danish oil and poly that would make it stand out in a dusty workshop.

Amazing toolbox, would you mind sharing the dimensions.

Sure thing Jeff. All the lumber used (except the drawer bottoms) is planed to 1/2 an inch. The outside dimensions of the case are 26 1/4” wide x 13 1/2” tall x 17 1/4” deep. The drawers are all 16” long with an inside depth of 1 3/4”. The top drawers are 8” wide, the bottoms are 25” wide. I used quarter inch plywood for the bottoms of the drawers.

Thanks for the comment
