Cherry Tool Box
Man Wood Doc that is a nice treasure chest.
Mark that would be tough to put tools in. Treasures yes.
I have a feeling Mark has a set of tools to put in that box. Yes, I built that with "lots of time on my hands" last year. It was a great project.
I resawed the slab of 3" thick Brazillian cherry that Mark found years ago into strips that were about 3/8" thick and then planed them smooth, down to about 5/16". Then I cut the sides, top, and ends to length before box joining them. I ran out of Mark's stock and had to use hard yellow birch for the bottom of the box and the lift-out tray, but that was a small sacrifice.
I have a similar tool box, but smaller, that I use almost every day. It's lasted 14 years. The idea is to make the lift-out tray so that it fits inside the open lld and rests horizontally. I have two metal tool boxes and neither one does that.
Thanks for looking.
