House for a Homeless Stanley

Wow very nice boxes Love the finger joints well done. But it is true that every tool needs a proper home you have done that.

Beautiful job! It looks much more “period appropriate” than does the cardboard box mine came in! Well done.

Very nice. I’ve got one, too, and a box like that would be a great project and storage.

Thanks for posting. Very well done.

So many ideas… so little time…

The finish is Watco natural over Minwax Golden Oak. Maybe four coats. Couple coats of paste wax after it sets up a few days. It creates a surface so smooth you have to feel it to believe it.

That latch on the lid was way more trouble that it was worth.
