Toolbox / Small Blanket Chest

Hi Joe
Nice looking Heirloom Tool Chest. The hand cut dovetails look excellent. Your choice of wood and finish make the chest shine.

Joe,

This is a beautiful tool chest. I just hope that you aren’t planning to put it in your shop!!!! I would suggest a plywood tool chest there but this one is much too nice. You dovetailing is excellent.

thanks for sharing.

Really nice. The handwork, especially the dovetails, is outstanding.

Beautifully done Joe. A real antique of the future. I hope it’s signed and dated.

Very nice chest. Love the cherry, the joinery, particularly the mitered dovetail base trim.

Thanks everyone for the comments. Yes, it is signed and dated and I’m still debating whether or not to use it as a tool chest. Right now it is holding sweaters in our bedroom and I like that because I get to see it everyday whereas in my shop I wouldn’t.

Nice job on the chest. Looks too good to be a toolbox.

But them again. We need to do good things for ourselves also.
