Now some fancy chisel work now to match the corners and ill call the case done!

Lid time.

Glass in last pic contained a pear cidar... Give it a miss, in case your wondering.

Central panel of the lid is done, waiting now for glue to cure fully.

Pics to come having trouble uploading g from phone....

hear'tis

Done. Now for the trays.


Painted


Paint magnifies the errors!

Prior painting looks brilliant. After painting its now just another box.

... and I bet it's not quite as lightweight as the Schwarzian pine version! Nice work - and a good job it has wheels!!

re the weight... it's pretty light. the blackwood i had was pretty light in colour and had wide-ish growth rings.

Now that the paint is dried it looks a bit better. I'll update the photo later, it's not as motely now.
As for looking ordinary - well thats kind of the point. I remeber my uncle buying a masive new outboard for his punt, only to have it stolen the same night.
the next week after he bought another brand new motor (the same), he scratched the outside up and spray painted it weird colours. It's still there. Not that this one will be travelling with me to job sites or anything.

I agree with Christos a good story.

Bit like the fellow who married an ordinary looking woman so no-one would want to steal her from him. Trouble was he became tired of her treat her rough and she finally left him for someone who cared.

Middle tray...

Saw till in!

Starting on the top tray today.

Now you've had ur Tool chest for a while now, are you happy with re dimensions of the inside draws? Would you make any changes?

I'm a out to start the inside of my toolchest. Judging by the pictures, it looks like the draws are about 40% of the depth of ur chest? I'd appreciate ur feedback.
