Fine looking chest and excellent craftsmanship. If you want it the way you need it sometimes the only way to go is building it yourself. Okay, I like that route most of the time. Good work, keep it up.

Thanks guys.

Mike i wish i would have known you back then, i actually made the box a few years ago and recently stumbled upon the photos and decided to upload them this evening. If i would have known you then brother, i would have certainly gave you a ring.

Thanks a million guys…i wish i would have had some access to some other types of tooling, i would have implemented some different joinery. But i did the best i could with the resources i had available at the time. I appreciate so much the work of many of you here on the forum to the extent i was almost embarrassed to place my work up here.

There are some bona fide woodworkers up here that make this joinery of mine and composition look pitiful in my opinion.

I want one !!!! ~whines~. LOL…gets out the blasted “TO-DO” novel ( the list got too big ! ) and jots this down.
Great chest ! I love the look. I’m assuming you don’t move it often or you might have put handles on the sides? Is it very heavy ? I’ve always wanted one like it; been wondering if my skills are up to creating one yet. Guess it’s time to find out !

Very Nice Chest, Good Idea. Merry Christmas

Nice tool chest!

Juriathe, it is somewhat heavy and a little cumbersome to tote without handles, you are correct. I do not move it often, thus the reasoning behind my procrastination for locating and purchasing some durable handles that would actually hold the weight of this chest.

I have looked a couple of times through Verita’s catalog but cannot seem to make a decision yet. One of the reasons is that i would love to have handles that match the knobs but would be durable enough to support the weight. Therein lies the dilemma, there are no handles that match the knobs in their inventory.

So i am trying to decide what to settle with?
