Tool Chest from ShopNotes: September 2007 – Issue 95
I wanted a tool chest that I could put in the back of my Ford Explorer and the Tool Chest from ShopNotes: September 2007 – Issue 95 was just what I wanted and looked like a fun project.
It is made from inexpensive materials and I was able to make it in a weekend. It was in the the SUV on the following Monday (it has been banged around a little already). Inside dividers can be easilly changed, based on what is being stored.

This is a solid looking tool chest that should be able to take a lot of abuse. I need to add one of these to my to do list. I generally just toss my tools in a 5 gallon bucket and go. This is a much better alternative to that.
Good job and thanks for sharing.

Wow, sweettt box. this is a great design, very roomy. Does it bolt down or can you put it on wheels in case you want to move it? How heavy is this without the weight of the tools? This is nice!!! How long did it take to make and how much did it cost?
