    Default A box for holding tools

    Just finished a tool tote to help keep tools organized when moving them from basement to garage workbench. I have been doing a lot of lurking and I figure its time I constributed something. I hope you like it.

    Beautiful tote. Those dovetails look really neat. Nice work.

    What a beautiful tool tote. A bit better than the one I'm nailing together out of ply. I love the dovetails in contrasting woods.

    Yep beautiful work indeed but my grandpa would roll in his grave if I put my saws in a tote blade down like that!

    Lovely workmanship on the joints, can I see the pencil line?

    Reminds me when I purchased my brace, it cost me nearly a weeks wages in the 50's and my one (a Stanley) hangs on the workshop joists.

    JOW104, below is a closeup of pencil line during dry fit. Lots of minor imperfections but nothing that could not be hidden/repaired at glue up.


    Thanks for all the complements everybody. I hope that all the dings and gouges that my tools will add to this box will just add character. I definitely will not baby it and will make it a true user.
