Put the hardware on the totes this morning. One each for two of my grandsons and one for me. Roughly based on Frank Klausz's article in PopWood a few years ago, with lots of thing to be decided by the builder (only went from rough dimensions, and a note that if he made another, he'd make it smaller). and a picture or two. https://cdn.popularwoodworking.com/wp-content/uploads/YourFirstToolkit.pdf Around the edges are spots for screwdrivers, awls, chisels, nail sets, pencils, etc. Inside is a removable till for whatever and can be centered, or pushed to front or back. Realized too late what those little telephone pole thingies on the side were for -- I think it was to lock the drawers in place, but I'm not really sure. I normally make a box a one piece, then cut off the lid. I didn't on this one (but maybe should have) so it took some extra care to make sure the lid was the same size and shape as the base. I guess you can consider this "trash art" because everything except the hardware came from my leftovers and recycled wood stash. When I first started woodworking when I made something from pine I'd always say, "For all the effort I put into this, I should have sprung for a better wood." But I think the pine is traditional, makes the whole thing a bit lighter, and will show the "wear and tear" of a functional life well lived. The bottom has box joints that were made from the router jig that I showed a few weeks ago. The top dimensions didn't work out too well with that spacing, so they are hand-cut dovetails.

Happened to run into the (remaining) Popular Woodworking guys at the local big iron supplier last week. Had a brief lunch with them and they talked about where magazines were going with video content. I see now that they're doing a weekly update with some of their stuff and stuff they've found. Great job to have -- surfing the internet all day looking for woodworking videos, huh? Anyway, here's the current version https://www.popularwoodworking.com/woodworking-blogs/popwood-playback-11-top-woodworking-videos-of-the-week?utm_content=buffer32c6a&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=buffer
