AKs Tool Makers Chest

That’s a handsome box. The top looks like hickory to me, but I’m not sure.

That’s a mighty fine looking tool makers chest Rob. I still have my beat up metal one from 1966. But yours look so much better! Nice work!

Nice looking chest. As for the clinkers, I figure when I stop making mistakes, I’ll be dead. In the meantime, I try to learn from them and just don’t make the same mistake twice.

Again, good job! It’s a pretty one.

Good lookin’ tool chest, my patience would have run out long ago and the project would have turned into a Gerstner

Wonderful construction, and a real beauty!

Around here we have a saying that our tastes in wood and decor choices are “eclectic” because to us they seem so mismatched. The only feedback we’ve gotten from anyone coming to visit has been more than positive. Well, you can now apply that kind of feedback from me to your very own eclectic mix of woods used in this project, and give yourself a great big pat on the back for a job well done….not only in the craftsmanship, but also in how you put that eclectic mix of woods to work in this project. Well done! Very well done, indeed!

Good looking tool chest. And the dovetails aren’t “reversed”, they are just oriented to prevent the sides from falling off. It’s all in how you accentuate your “mistakes” ;)

That is one super chest. The kind all of us wish we had. Your patience really paid off!

-- We all make mistakes, the trick is to fix it in a way that says "I meant to do that".
