A fine example of master craftsmanship. Sadly, in an age of throw-away tool stored in a plastic bucket, a tradesman’s pride and skill showcasing the respect, care, and storage of his tools is rarely found on present day job sites. A well built tool chest and its contents speaks volumes about its owner. Plastic buckets only say what they once contained(paint, stain, mud, etc…..).

-- Ciao, gth.

Nice looking and very functional box. Thank you for sharing.

It’s easy to see why it’s popular. It’s very nice.

Very nice. The lid on the smaller compartments is a nice touch.

Very very nice work …I might have to “borrow” that design in the future!

-- Wait...there *has* to be a harder way!

do you have any dimensions to share with us or what wood you used or what’s the best finish to use on a project like this ? It looks great even though the pix are a wee bit small for me old eyeballs : )

Very nice looking. How big is it?

Thanks for all the comments. For those of you who are interested in the size of the sma’ kist, the dimensions are as follows:
(L) – 846mm
(W) – 296mm
(H) – 296mm.
The sma’ kist is one of the intermediate projects from the Lethenty Mill furniture making course. We also offer our evening class students and distance learners the chance to make a larger kist (project 7 from our course). I will try and post some photographs of our larger kist on LJs too in due course. Meanwhile, the following links provide a little more information on the sma' kist and the kist..
