Nicely done, I have the same color on mine.

Really nice work (and set of tools)!

A good home for your tools. Well done.

When I was a kid my grandfather painted EVERYTHING in green. All his tools, his house and on and on. I always wonder if he had some special stash he picked up at some government auction while he was picking up his government cheese in his Cadillac.

Anyways now I enjoy that color but don’t think I’ll be painting my saws green anytime soon!

nice! I just built one. Made it extra tall since I figured I would fill it up quick. I was concerned it would be kind of tippy but once the tools are in, the chest is pretty heavy. I also put drawers instead of a fall front since I figured I probably wouldn’t be taking off and putting on the cover often.

Nicely done. I’ve gone back and forth on whether this is the right style for me.

If you would be so kind, can you tell me where you got the hinge? That might be the style that I have been unsuccessfully searching for on another project.

I got the hinges from Lee Valley.

Whatever the longer one was. Spear point I think it is.

Yeah, think I will build the lower storage eventually when I have some time.

I have a couple Gerstner tool chests from the 60’s that I use right now and will suffice until I get my shop finished.
