Here we have a small tool box for a friend who works in IT….and he is always fixing stuff for other people…so he has a selection of small tools but when i saw the plastic box he kept things in i was shocked…terrified in fact…almost insulted….this could not do….
so the challenge began….first i sourced a design…check….
then i sourced the timber…check
the biggest challenge i had was the fact that ceder is so soft…you could sneeze and dent it..is that i had a small issue of the timber crumbling even with a very sharp and polished chisel …i used ash for the runners and sanded from 80 to 240 then a few coats of bees wax….
i thank you..

Does the removeable tray slide in to the dado then drop down in to the notch? To lock it/hold it in place? Neat idea.

indeed it does..i recommend you make sure the runners are rounded and smooth with a good lump of wax applied..also the ends are sanded to a fie grade…you need to be carfull…to tight and it wont be a joy to remove…to loose it could twist lock into place and you have the annoying wiggle technique to master…

I like this a lot. Thanks for the idea. I’ll bet with it being cedar it has a great smell too!
Nice work.
