Jewelry Box

That is one nice tool/jewelry box. A tool chest like you made is on my project list. I think nice tools should go in a nice box. You did a really nice job on that chest. I can see why your wife would confiscate it.

I agree on the jewelry box idea

Wow that’s one beautiful tool box, excellent work.

I know what you mean about the price of the gerstner chest…. That is why I am working on one like you did. Yours turned out great !!!

Sweet! Nicely done. I really like cherry as well. The proportions look great!

That is a lot of box. Sweet.

Truly amazing work. I have always wanted to try this project but have not had the nerve. Love the wood tone and knobs on the drawers. Good job!

Very nicely done, really like the cherry with walnut trim.

I’m betting “fair amount of work” is a gross understatement! It turned out beautifully and will get even more stunning as that cherry ages.

I’ve seen the recent Gerstner’s, and I would say yours wins hands down in a side by side review.

Thanks everyone for your kind and encouraging words.

I can only dream about creating something as amazing as this. Thanks for sharing. With the inspiration from your project I am one step closer to building one myself…soon.

@Dave—Gorgeous, simply gorgeous! Did you work from a plan, or did you just look at the Gerstner boxes and design it yourself? In either case, your design and execution is worthy of a Gerstner label, but put a “Dufour” on it, for sure!

I can see why your wife confiscated it. It’s beautiful…

I hope i can store my tools in something that nice one day. Mind you that means i’d actually clean up my shop and put them in their correct place once in a while
