That Tool Chest Build, Floor Is Full

Featured Replies

Ok, a start on filling this thing up.    First off, needed a way to hold the lid open.   Trimmed a piece to length for along the back edge of the lidIMAG0189.JPG?width=750

To keep the lid from going too far back.  Glue and screws to install

Sorry about the fuzzy photo.   Seemed to work.   Ok, lid will  stay open, so I can get a little work done on the inside.    Set up a corral for the four braces, and a drill bit holderIMAG0187.JPG?width=750

A 1x1 screwed to the floor.   A 1x upright to keep them upright.   A diagonal brace to keep the divider upright.  Whew.   Had to keep working on the top of the divider to get it below where the trays will slide across.   Yeah, a few handplanes showed up, wanting a place to hide.   As for the bits for these braces

And an eggbeater drill, too.   I already had the 2x4 block made up. Was going to make a drawer like  thingy for it.   Screwed to the side of the chest.   One last look at the crowded floorIMAG0186.JPG?width=750

There is even a pair of rails installed for the next tray to slide on.   Then, the battery on the Makita died.    Bummer.   Oh well, BREAK TIME!       Need to plan a few trays anyway.
