Needs keepers made yet...

[steven newman]

And then MAYBE just maybe this box will be done?

Lid is filled up....

So is the box.   Maybe some sort of swivel keepers?   Gave the box a good rub done, after the lacquer coat had dried..

need to set things up to take some decent pictures of the outside.    Still haven't gone to get a latch.   Thing weighs a 'ton", too.   I knocked down the gloss quite a bit.  getting close to the end.  

 

While going through Menards sometime, to get the latch, I'll go past the screen hardware section.....those screen keeper levers might be just the thing....may have to add a strip of wood, here and there....

Nice storage for those marking tool!

The box looks great and the tools look good in it.  How long will they stay there?

[steven newman]

Until I need one of them...

I  took some "better "  pictures...and forgot to get one of the front of the box......it can wait on the latch. 

 

Things wanted to go all "orange" with the camera.....neon orange.   toned it back a bit..

Same side, just toned down a bit...

At least the hinge side looks decent enough for "Polite Company"?  All those tools?   Well right now, this is what happens after I closed the lid...

And after the lid is opened up again...

When everything is done, I may put this in the photo gallery....

Very nice!  Are you going to put some sort of holding device in the lid to hold those tools on place when you close the lid?

[steven newman]

Going to try to....

[Kevin Beitz]

Or you could make a tray....
