Nice! Side projects can be some of the most fun.

I think Bob Smalser's explanation probably makes for a good foundation--although I've only read up on this process, not done it.

Outstanding--and, for a fellow beginner, absolutely inspiring.



Do bears relieve themselves in the woods? Thanks for sharing the imgur album!

Whatever life is, you two are doing it right. Cheers for the thread and stories.

Jim, your find is encouraging. When I moved into my current apartment, a small (now closed) hardware store was a 10-minute walk away and next to a coffee shop. My 5yo daughter and I would walk over...

:eek: This is striking, and the build pics and notes really help. Your work came out tremendously! (So much so that I've bookmarked the build in my Projects folder for later reference. Cheers!)

But seriously, thanks for sharing this and the rest of your website, Derek. I regularly answer questions...

Super design! Lovely work overall.

+1 to that, Dave, and I'm pretty wholly a neophyte to everything hand tools, let alone lofty things like conservation and period furniture.

As a beginner (albeit one with a strong academic bent),...

Those beautiful walnut remind me: The handles are hands-down my favorite feature of this style toolbox. The sliding lid gets all the attention, but the handles are the first time the line between...

Nice work! You're tempting me to do this myself. I'll be happy if mine is 1/4 as good as yours.

On a related note, Jim is probably the main reason I bought a combination plane (albeit a Craftsman knockoff of a Sargent 1080). He's also the only reason I've looked up 55s on eBay. Well, he and too...

:eek:. That's bonkers. The work I've seen of yours is tremendous—and must be equal to the amount of hard work you've committed during the time. Cheers to you.

And ditto everything Prashun says...

Whoops, I made a poor joke. I mean that your tool chest's space seems endless, since each picture has a new area with new tools—which I jokingly attributed to magic. Of course, the reasons are your...

This chest is incredibly marvelous. Thanks for sharing it!

Quick question: How did you manage to integrate the magical drawers? Because I swear your drawers have drawers with larger tools than...

Here's a pic of a jig from a page on Derek Cohen's website:

(Derek attributes the idea to Andrew Crawford.)

The joint can still slip, but with the jig, you'd have plenty of positive...

Executive really nails it.

Now THIS is a thread I can identify with. I'll post pics later if I remember, but this hobby started out as "I'm not paying that much money for that" on top of wanting a new skill—two reasons I doubt...

I keep coming back to admire this build. Outstanding!

This toolbox is great! You really dove in, which (I saw this as a fellow newbie) took tons of guts. Your did will flip.

As for the mixed tails/pins on the drawers--they add contrast! :D

Brian, I hope you don't mind me jumping in here. If you do, lemme know and I'll replace this post with a picture of me as an adult in a onesie drinking Franzia from a baby bottle.

Joe and Phil,...

Whoops, I didn't mean to imply your clock is derivative or a copy. Instead, I had thought your clock was a replica of a famous Shaker clock, not inspired by a famous Shaker cupboard. But I couldn't...

Seeing the pics before reading this, I was really confused; I couldn't place where I'd seen this Shaker clock before. The answer: Nowhere. Tricking me isn't too hard, but still, tremendous...

Anyone else having issues with Chrome (not necessarily on your iPad)? Any time I go to post on a thread, if I don't get my reply off in two or three minutes, my whole browser freezes. Does anyone...

Now THAT would be a neat storage box.



That compliment's probably the best I've gotten in awhile. Thanks, Bill.
