Dave, I really like the design…. it looks great! Did you use a plan or design it yourself? I hope you don’t mind if I try to copy it. I could really use one of these.

Nice job Dave, I love the inlays. Its a winner!

Chris, I did use a plane how ever I changed everything about it to make it my own. The plan Only had 6 drawers. I needed more room and I wanted it to look more like a tool chest. I would be happy for you to copy it. I can’t wait to see how yours turns out. Thanks to all for the kind words. Dave

-- Dustygirl..Hastings,Ontario.. How much wood can 1 gal chuck if 1 gal can't cut wood?

Now thats nice,did you line the inside of the drawers?

-- projects dont pay,pieces are profitable,production is painfull

Noknot, I am using a rubber no slip pad in the bottom of the drawers. I wanted to use it because of two reasons. One- so nothing moves around. Two- so I don’t mess up the Oak bottoms of the drawers. Thanks for asking.

-- Davesfunwoodworking

This is a wonderful use of wood, a real heirloom piece of work. If you don’t win the contest, you’ll do well I feel.

Love that chest. I am meaning to build one for my machine tools but haven’t got around to it yet. Your chest has given me the inspiration, and maybe the kick in the butt, I need to get on it. Great job.

Great chest! Really like the way the grain looks on the sides as well as the drawer details. Thanks for posting the in-construction pics as well.

-- Chris

All that I can say on this is….. WOW! The use of wood grain and figure is just amazing. The whole thing as great, good work!

Wow, that is one of the coolest wooden craftsman’s toolbox that i can recall ever seen. I really like it, the embellishment strips that you added to the face of the drawers just really holler’s at the onlooker, saying “HELLO, you need to notice me over here, i am one of a kind, unique…just look at me closer.”

Wow what a vision that was seen prior to the cutting of the first piece of wood.

Great looking job.
