Its the beginning of a new academic year at work…
new budget…..woo hoo..
new tools…
old worn out tool boxes…not good…
3 sheets of 12mm ply and a lot of P.V.A glue and 30mm pins our goal had be achieved..
with a couple of simple jigs on the band saw and one for a 1/4 inch router all the components were made up and set out for production…the rush began…the Hitachi pin gun and compressor did me proud and all boxes were completed within the day…
Tool inventory..
set of 5 marples chisels..6,10,13,18,25
no.4 smoother
6”mallet
marking gauge
combination square
rip saw
coping saw
slotted/PZ2 screwdriver
5mtr tape measure
bradawl
and maybe one tool but i have forgotten…

Looks like a great set up. A couple close up shots would be nice.

thank you all..
will try to get some closer pictures for you..
i teach at a further education college…we teach students from the age of 14 years….they have a day release from school and they try different trades through out the year on a structured course…eg brickwork,painting and decorating,plumbing,electrical and carpentry…the tool boxes were constructed for the level two carpenters ( age range 18+)...they are more tailored to the trade…eg…big saws and hammer strike chisels..and for the joiners their boxes have mortice gauges and a couple of different sized gouges and a scribeing template aswell as a larger tenon saw…

The Battle of Hastings reloaded … lol
Good job … would have taken me ages to do the same.
Best wishes from another (non-woodworking) teacher who is like you still wondering why he does what he does.
Hope your pupils will value their new equipment.

I’ve taught technology but never woodworking. That sounds like it would be interesting. Nice boxes too.

Cool…. you teach something the kids can make a living at. My sons high school cancelled all the trades classes. They don’t even have home ec anymore. I wonder if the students could make a tool box?
