Hello fellow Lumber Jocks.
Been a while since I have posted a new project, however I have been busy in the shop. For awhile I have needed/wanted a tool chest, just couldn’t find one that was priced fairly and made to last. Besides I primarily work with wood, and who needs a metal tool box in a wood shop. So I decided I would tackle the task of making my own, with the idea in mind that I could make it to match my workbench I recently completed. The majority of the chest is made from reclaimed plywood from work. (plywood is thrown away daily there…. such a waste). I used red and white oak for the drawer facings. Since I had left over plywood I went ahead and made for my sanders. And then update my R.A.S. station and Band saw carts to match. I now have a matching set…... The two sanding carts on the end have shop vacs built in. I Used Boiled Linseed oil for the finish.

The junk I call my shop furniture has gone on strike. They are demanding I give them all matching face lifts.
Nice job, it all looks great, and recycling plywood to boot.

Fantastic work and inspirational. I have been in a bit of a rut in my woodworking recently. I’ve had to force myself to get out in my shop and get busy. Your tool chest has inspired me to get back out there and build something that I WANT to build. Thanks!
