I know that in the USA this type of chest is called Dutch tool chest.
But despite that I keep repeating:
Dutch means that it is from the Netherlands. But this model of tool chest is for so far I know from Germany. The dutch model is really different. When a German says “I,m a german” in his own language he says “Ich bin Deutsch”. And in the USA made other think that he was Dutch (also called Pennsylvanian Dutch).
When you google “timmermanskist” you will find (pictures) the dutch model.
When you google “schreiner werkzeugkiste” you will find (pictures) the German model.
It’s up to you which most resembles.
BTW You build a great chest.

Nice tool chest. I really like the lid. We can always use more storage for sure.

buck_cpa very nice work. I especially appreciate your saw till and the external storage of the framing square and hand saw. Thank you for posting, as I am in the process of designing a ‘dutch’ tool chest myself. Additionally, I have some of the same tools as you so your layout has really caught my eye.

Great looking Dutch chest Buck and I mean that in the most platonic sense.
