My first hand tool project, well… since high school shop class 25 years ago. The trim is cherry salvaged from an old local barn that was torn down years ago. My design came from various totes I found on this site, thank you for the inspiration.

Nice, Russel! This is great! Is that a Stanley #65 and a #18 in there? We need more pictures though. :-)

Looks like a slick little tool box to me. Very nice.

Looking forward to more pictures! Again, it’s a lovely tote and I think it will serve you nicely for a long time.

I love those knuckle cap planes and yours are particularly nice and shiny! Unfortunately, I don’t own a single one yet.

Almost forgot—- Welcome to Lumberjocks Russell!

Welcome Russell,

The best boxes are purpose driven, and this work is a prime example of that principle. Your bio indicates that you have adopted a new mantra when woodworking. Enjoy the journey.

Only one little criticism. One photo isn’t enough to do it justice. Nice work. I love looking at other LJ’s work totes, and this one’s a beaut.
