Great tool chest. Nice build

That is awesome.

I just got a free metal machinist chest today and yours is much nicer…want to trade:-)

Honestly, great work man. The craftsmanship is shining through on this chest. Thanks for sharing.

Now that came out flat out awesome! I been keeping up with your blog on how you did and got to say I would love to have this jewel sitting in my shop. Oh yea… The handles where a killer extra touch.

Well done!

I don’t recall seeing: is it African Mahogany ?

Brilliant example of design + execution.

I wonder whether—as I envisioned I might—you learned a lot, in advance, by designing this IN SketchUp.

That’s not a strut, right ? Just a chisel, holding the top open ? Are you thinking about any additional hardware, for the top ?

I very much appreciate those LumberJocks who take the time to blog their process and their progress. Great opportunity for others (me !) to learn.

Just a beautiful box. From start to—literally—finish !

The finished product is just as good as the journey you included us on, Sharon. Great work.

-- The secret to getting ahead is getting started.

Congratulations. You have certainly created something wonderful. That is both functional and beautiful.

-- I was walking down the street, something caught my eye, and dragged it 15 feet.

Great job, Sharon. This looks like another one of those too-nice-for-the-shop shop projects. I especially like the fancy lid support…. pretty cool the way you disguised it as a chisel. :-)

Sharon: A great build Nice job and a beautiful piece. You filled the holes in great. Looks like you almost ment to do that.

The locks for the front door, are they self made of a purchased product?
