Tool chest

Vern, very nice. I like the natural finish and the clean lines. I would leave the draws. If you place it below eye level people will never see it. Learn from your mistakes and move on. Great job.

-- Have a great day.

If any part of that project was a mistake” I have to say I wish my mistakes came out that nice. If my tool chests looked that good I would be happy too. Mine are old kitchen cabinets from my house and some jobs. Great work!

Hey Vern,
Very nice. Very nice indeed.
I would be proud to have such a chest.

How does anyone know that the drawers were not designed to be two different sizes.. nice cabinet period.. don’t beat yourself up.. enjoy your work, and learn.
It is a cabinet I would be proud to have built.

real nice toolbox! I actually think that the differently sized drawers make it look better.

question – it’s hard to tell from the angle of the 3rd picture, but does the tool tray fit in the chest? (it looks deeper than the chest itself in the picture -but it could be my eyes :) )

That is what’s called a “Mental Check”.

If anybody comes up and points out your error, you tell them “they passed!” It was a mental check to see who was really paying attention.

Very nicely done. I like the layout, the lines, and the finish.

Thanks for all the compliments. Yes, PurpLev, the tote fits inside the chest. This was in a “Wood Magazine”, book called “Making Great Boxes.”
