Managed to fit the hardware. Might be able to remove it again tomorrow to start the finish. Thinking of doing a Danish oil finish on it. The knobs are quite nice and fitted nicely in the clearance. I also need 4 more corner details, I'm not sure how I only managed to order only 4 of them.

That looks really nice with the hardware on and I'm glad the draw pulls fitted inside the front flap. Looking forward to seeing it with the finish applied.

Looking really good, Jacques! Everything looks to fit perfectly, and that’s definitely not easy with drawers, lids and folding panels. Colour me green.

Thank you for the kind words guys. I like the way its turning out. I'm just a bit disappointed with the recycled timber I used as it caused some issues here and there. Nonetheless, the first coat of the finish is on. Just need a sand down and another coat or two of finish before fitting the felt in the box and finishing it off. End in sight, then I feel its time for a nice little dovetailed box with some veneer/inlay work [emoji16]

How have I missed this build?
I’ve always liked that style of toolchest and I’m looking forwards to seeing it all finished. G’donya too for using recycled timber.Nothing succeeds like a budgie without a beak.

Doing some repairs on 2 screws that broke off. I found a neat way to remove these pesty brass screws. I used a diamond tile cutting bit to surround it, then in with the chisel to remove it. Once capped its as good as new. [emoji16]

And it's done (apart from 4 brass corners for the bottom which is on order).
I ended up finishing it with Osmo Polyx Satin as I didn't have any Danish oil left. I think I prefer the satin as the Danish oil would probably have been too glossy.
Here's some photos.
Hope you enjoy.
Cheers
Jacques

That's an excellent job; well done!
Quick question; what is the dinky little smoother next to the block plane?Nothing succeeds like a budgie without a beak.
