Eric,

You did well on the construction of this box and I like the woodburning too. You just added a new skill to your ever growing list.

Very nice.

great job. thats a nice looking chisel box and it works great too. thanks for the post.

Eric here is a tip for you that I really should follow myself – Slow Down! Things tend to go sideways when I don’t think something through, label my pieces, etc. Your box looks fine and it’s a learning experience for you, after all, ”It’s only a chisel box.” Have fun Eric!

The chisel is a fearsome instrument whose mastery comes only to those with the strength to persevere. The road to LJ nirvana is paved with many splinters. You sir have showed your mettle by taking the high road.

Use the pencil Luke.

Nice chisel box BTW ^o^

it accomplishes what you set out to do, that’s the important part.
and it was a learning experience!

This is a great little box. I like the chisel image. Maybe you should put another one on the front too?

A very suitable box to protect your chisels. Experience has no substitute. Next time u will avoid all mistakes because next time it won’t be ”It’s only a chisel box.”

Thanks guys! And Blake – that’s exactly what my son said. I’m halfway tempted to do it, but…

”It’s only a chisel box.”

Leaving it as is will be a stronger reminder to me to take my time with future projects!

eric, that is a good idea, hope you don’t mind if I borrow it as I have to make a chisel storage box myself. We all learn from our mistakes we make when we rush. As long as we don’t repeat the mistakes all is well. If I worried about all the things I’ve done that haven’t turned out like I wanted them to I would be old and grey, I mean older and greyer, lol. I don’t let people get to me too often because I love myself and the heck with them.

Eric: I guess this is the infamous Chisel box of another post. I like it. Good job
