I am fairly inexperienced but have found that practicing on my own shop cabinets, etc.. is a good way to learn (usually what NOT to do.. but that is for another day).

I was looking at tool chests recently and am shocked by how much good chests cost. I was toying with the idea of making my own (wood) toolchest, but I have two questions:

1) will this end up costing me more money that if I just bought the darn thing

2) does anyone have any plans they could point me towards?

Thanks,
George
