This is the interior of the tool chest I posted earlier. The plans called for four kerfs for saws however I have a 26” back saw for my mitre box so ….... I couldn’t resist filling it just once before I started the tray slips and trays! I also routed a small groove on the front skirt to make opening and closing the chest less risky for the fingers.

This looks amazing! Where did you find a chest lock that has an antique finish? I bought one from Horton Brass, but they only sell them in plain brass.

Looks pretty good to me. I am building one right now, about 30 minutes at a time, but I am almost done with the main box.
Had a set beck today though, the chest lock I bought from Lee Valley, turned out to not work very well. The center pin snapped during the install. Your hardware looks pretty stout, where did you get it?
