Well hers is for needlework.
It makes sense when you are doing a project and spending all the time setting up the machines to make more than one. And you get a bonus kiss when you have finished from she who should be obeyed.
This is along the lines of the Veritas plan in oak and hard maple drawer sides. The hardware I got (expensively) from Gerstner, who shipped it here to the uk (expensively).
Finished in Arm R Seal and wax.
They turned out to be very useful.

I own a couple of genuine Gerstner tool boxes made in Dayton Ohio. They are well built, time tested, and a beautiful piece of industrial art you could say. Your boxes look every bit as nice if not nicer than the Gerstner. I do think your joinery in the drawers is much better. Great project, you should be proud. Thanks for sharing and welcome to Lumberjocks. Nice website too.

IS it bad if I say I lust for your clamps….??? ;)
NICE tool box! I just made the cutlist for the Shopnotes version tool box. I can’t wait to finish it (and a wall mount tool shelf) to TRY and get my shop cleaned a LITTLE bit!
Mine will look nothing like yours though. Veryy nice!

That is a wonderful toolchest. Great workmanship. You have put a few hours into this project and come up with a toolchest that will last for generations.
Well done
