Finished my tool box - Jonathan S - 01-24-2013

I had been wanting to build a tool box to carry tools to club demos, and classes. I decided to do something along the lines of the Stanley tool box that was posted a while back. I took the Sketchup file that Doobes created and scaled it up a bit to hold 26" hand saws. I opted for a milk paint finish. Details are on my blog













Thanks for looking. Comments and critiques always welcome.

Terrific job! That looks great.

Jonathan, very nice!! It is not only functional but very well thought out and extremely well crafted. I especially like the hinges.

The entire piece flows.

Looks awesome. Can you give up some details? What are the dimensions on the sawtill? I'm doing some preliminary in-the-brain planning for a chest, and I'm not 100% sure what to allow for saws. I'm probably going to end up with 5 total and want to figure out what width I'll need.

There is something about the look of clear finished secondary woods inside a painted exterior that I love. Great tool box. I'm starting to realize just how many tools can fit in a small box like this and just how much you can get done with those few tools. Its kinda liberating

Very, very nice. Nice stealth gloat on the bedrock, too.


Re: Finished my tool box - ZachDillinger - 01-24-2013

That's a great looking box, and I'm sure its highly functional. Nicely done!

Very nice! I really like those hinges. Look great on that box. Does it weigh a ton when filled with tools?
