    Default Cedar Toolbox.

    Last year I made a small machinist chest based on a design that was shown in Woodsmith magazine. It ended up in my wifes sewing room as it was too small for what I wanted.
    I bought some Australian Cedar from Greg Ward and decided to make a bigger tool box and added a few more drawers and some larger hinged doors. It will hang off the wall instead of being on the bench and hopefully I will get organised and know where I put things.
    The box is entirely from Australian Cedar with the exception of the two front inserted panels . These are from some King Billy pine I brought back from a trip to Tasmania.

    Hi Jimbogeorge,
    The original design was in the US version of Woodsmith issue 183. From memory you can see it on their website. The one in the magazine is much smaller and I made one similar to that with the exception that I finger jointed all the drawer fronts.
    The one shown in the magazine is quite small and mine finished up in my wifes sewing room.
    The one shown here is loosly based on that design except this one has many more drawers, is higher and deeper and has the hinged doors that locate chisels and other stuff.
    If you are going to make one, please feel free to send me a PM . I never made a drawing for this one but if you want I can give you some basic sizes that I settled upon.
    And my head I'd be a scratchin'
    While my thoughts were busy hatchin'
    If I only had a brain.

    Default hinges

    I think this is a brilliant piece of work on many levels,its beautiful & functional like most exceptional bits of furniture. It reminds me of those timeless cutlery sets that came in wooden display/storage boxes or even the surgeons instruments cases from the 1800s except bigger & better. Where did you get the hinges/what brand are they?Im also looking for some brass L brackets ,biggish 100mm x 100mm x50mm in Sydney. Any suggestions would be most welcome. Moikel
