A Google search for “machinists chest plans” comes up with several more matches.

Good luck,

Thanks Bob. I’ll give the google search a try.

Hi Everyone and thanks for your help. I’ve looked at all of the links you’ve provided but none of them are the one I saw. I believe that the one I was looking at had a Dark Walnut front panel that opened from the top down, slid inside the cabinet at the bottom, and exposed the interior drawers and compartments. I’ll just keep looking. It’s got to be here somewhere!

Thank you again.

Check this one out. No plans, but plenty of inspiration.

If you can’t find it on LJs, here are a few links to check out. I think that there is one that is similar to what you’re looking for.

Hairy, KayBee, jm, cheb, and anyone else following this thread….thank you all for the links. They’re all beautiful and I can certainly use those for inspiration and ideas. As soon as I finish the two projects I’m working on the tool chest will be started. I can get my hands on some reclaimed chestnut from a friend. He also has some white oak, and walnut. I see a lot of cherry being used for these boxes. Is there any special reason for this or is it personal preference?

It is beautiful.
Machines nicely.
It is also relatively stable. (I have a store bought one in beech that is all split up)
