February 8, 20179 yr Popular Post Well, sorted through that pile of Orphans, re moved the chisels and the screwdrivers, and was left with this..pile.. Hmm, got almost than many upstairs, The Stanley #70 is just along for the ride...thought I make a tote that would fit inside Drawer #4. Nothing real fancy, just use up the big scraps.. Started with these two. Earlier, they were just the cut-offs from the 1xs from the drawer builds. random angle, whatever looked good. I was going to use this other board for the bottom... But...plans got changed, somewhere down the line....as this wasn't going to work with these.. Dovetails into edge grain...do not work. Cut the mess off, re-located them to an end grain side. Bottom board now became the side of the tote. But, I only had ONE long board....I did have a 1x2 about the right length. Made a notch to house it, and a screw and glue to hold it. Sized some plywood scraps to fit.. Plywood is glued and nailed in place, ends are glued up. Will let this mess sit overnight, and then see about a handle, and MAYBE a divider or two... Trying to "whittle down" that pile of scraps...stay tuned for part two.

February 8, 20179 yr Author This is to fit in the drawer ( currently sitting empty ) IF need be, I could always build another dresser...I think I have the hang of it, now....

February 8, 20179 yr Author Popular Post Tote is now completed... The "good side. The handle? I simply notched the ends of a 7/8" dowel and drove a screw. Added a bead of glue. Tote is about half full.. Drills on the right, drivers on the left and there are a few nail sets as well.. There is enough room, just in case more should show up tried the tote out in the drawer.. Seemed a bit lonely sitting there. Got out the OEM Stanley 45 box, and loaded up the Dremel.. Then closed the lid, placed the box in the drawer with the tote, and shut the drawer... Put all of these "special" planes back in their own box..... Closed the lid, and then found a spot to stash the box.. framing square found a home, need to hang those saws up. Box with the Visegrips is my Tap & Die set. Next up? Well....I do have a few chisels to box up.. Most of them. Might take more than one layer? We'll see how this turns out....

February 10, 20179 yr Author That one is full, at the moment.. I could move the squares out, but I'd need a new place for them..... As this one is a bit full, right now....
