First Project

It may not be practical to carry around, but it sure is a thing of beauty!

Tis a beautiful piece. Hard to believe it’s a first project :-))

If you’d like , I could send you some Pine and you could send me your Oak : ) Beautiful job !

Very nice first project …. Great idea to make it out of oak to add weight to it so that it doesn’t walk away easily :-)

Wow…that’s some beautiful toolbox…..don’t want to get it dirty!! Keep it on display to show off your talents.

Put new hardware on it and give it to the wife for a jewelry case! Nicely done.

Welcome to LumberJocks, That is a very nice first project. Well done, it may not travel very often but it will be around for a long time to come.

nice job I would guess my last project wont look that good. For the weight issue at least you will know not to mess with the guy that take it loaded with tools.

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

That’s your first project! Wow, look at those beautiful finger joints!

Nice tool box. Great job on it!!!!

-- Davesfunwoodworking

I’m glad it’s too heavy. You’d end up banging it against something on the job then it’d be a shame to have damaged it. It looks like something that should be holding a fine musical instrument. Great job. Thanks for sharing.

I have made this very same tool box. Yours looks great. A lot of practical woodworking knowledge. Good for you!

Fantastic first project

-- Jim from Heirloom Woodshop Southern Oregon

Nice project. Oak is a good choice. the tools inside likely weigh enough that a few extra pounds of wood don’t matter.
