    Toolbox project

    Hi,

    I just wanted to post some pics of a toolbox I recently built foir my dad. He is involved in the old car hobby, and needed something nice in which to carry tools in his cars to shows, rallys, etc.

    Dimensions are 18 inches by 9 inches by 9 inches. All wooden parts are Elm, hardware is mainly from Lee Valley, with Soss hinges.

    Very nicely done, Charles. Very "show-worthy" toolbox, and I'll bet your dad will be proud to show it off.
