Machinist Tool Chest, From Woodsmith Issue 183

Very nicely done. I thought about making this for myself. Good job.

Good job. I’ve seen this in that magazine as well. We can never have enough drawers.

it’s brilliant!

This must be wonderful for all the little things we don’t know where to put in the workshop.
Thank you for sharing with us,

Hi all,

My avatar is one I recently restored, it`s a vintage 30`s black leatherette orginally built by Gerstner & Sons.

The Woodsmith chest was built by a client of mine and modeled after a turn of the century mission style Union Chest Works Co. box from Rochester NY. The company was founded in 1893. They also made ammunition boxes for world war I

If your planing to build one here`s a link to the WS sources page.

That is so nice! Maybe one day I can store some of my tools like that…just imagine..

Very nice. How much does it weigh including tools? Great job!

-- Doug - As my Dad taught me, you're not a cabinet maker until you can hide your mistakes.

Sweet! You did an outstanding job on this! This project is on my wish list, hope I can make it look this nice. Great Job!

-- Mike

Another one for my wish list. Excellent job.

-- The nicer the nice, the higher the price!

Great work. I’ve been thinking of making one of these for quite some time.

Nice, looks great. I am also thinking of making one

-- Back home. Fernando

Great design and finish…well done.

I often wondered why the plan hasen`t been avaiable on PDF yet.

I learned recently that the plan is now being featured in the current issue of the Australian Woodsmith magazine, Issue 79 . It looks to be edited a bit. The chest is showen on the front cover as opposed to the back on the US copy.

I`v been told that the plan is the metric version.

For the Jocks down under !
