January 21, 201610 yr Just a PIP of where this box is at.. I usually have a bit of trouble, when hinges get used.. But at least these don't bind up....lots of fine tuning to do, yet.. Need to decide on some latches of some sort....gathering a few tools to toss inside when this box is done.. Well,it is a start....
January 21, 201610 yr WOW! Those dovetails turned out super and I like that decorative edge around the bottom, too!
January 21, 201610 yr Steve that turned really cool, I love it. The breadboard ends on the lids were a nice touch too. This box reminds me of a box my dad used own and was used for plumbers tools, pipe wrenches, a blow torch and it all fit nicely. Thanks for the tour along of this project, I have enjoyed it.
January 21, 201610 yr I love it! Nice tight dovetails, bread board ends on the lids and a sweet reveal around the bottom. I had heard a rumor that maybe the lids might sport some walnut. Must not have been true.
January 21, 201610 yr Author Gene: I have the Walnut blanks cut out for the lid, and they will be at the ends as a dust seal....as soon as I finish fine tuning them lids. Box is patterned after a 1920s Stanley No. 888 Tool Box. They were made from all walnut, I'll add a bit to mine.
January 21, 201610 yr That is one really cool looking tool box! Nice job on the dovetails! You are the master. I'll have to be on the look for one of the 1920 models.
January 21, 201610 yr nice job. Ya might put chains (or something) on the lids to prevent them from flipping hard and putting strain on the hinge screws
