It came out great. I find hand tools relaxing.

Very nice, are the corners of the toolbox box joints or dovetails?

Great to see you developing hand tool skills. This is a lovely chest and I particularly like the contrast between the interior natural color and the Milk Paint finish – very nice work.

The four box corners and the drawers are all dovetailed.

The essence of woodworking is the handtools….I still like my horsepower but it’s the handtool work that makes me love woodworking. I need to start going to more flea markets..

Great Toolbox…you have a very lucky son.

Nice job Brent. I like the idea of hand tools to, but I find them hard on the joints (my joints). So many years of working on the computer that my elbows just ache when I have to do much hand sanding. I can not imagine building something by hand like you did. I would be out of commission for weeks.
