    Tool Chest Pics

    Here are pics of the tool chest I made my son for Christmas. The chest carcase and drawer fronts are red oak. Drawer boxes are maple with baltic birch ply bottoms. Handles are walnut. Finish is garnet shellac rubbet out with Mylands Antique Brown wax. Sorry for the quality of the pics, but they were taken in a hurry just before the gang showed up for Christmas Eve.

    Thanks for looking,
    Bob

    Beautiful, Bob. That's a really, really nice tool chest and certainly an heirloom!

    Very nice! So, you want to "adopt" a way older son? Tell us, are the dovetails hand cut or machined? Really nice detail, regardless. ('Course, seeing as to how I'm setting myself up for a Leigh.... ) Thanks for the post. I'm positive it's a much appreciated gift!
    Cheers,

    John,

    I would consider adopting such a son if he would support his poor old dad so he didn't have to work and could spend all his time in the shop!

    The through dovetails in the case and the half-blinds on the drawers were cut on the Akeda jig. Sliding dovetails were cut on the router table.

    Thanks for the kind words.
