Project Information
I am headed off to the Great Lakes Woodworking Festival in Adrian, Mi tomorrow, and I realized (several weeks ago) that I didn't have a proper way to transport my tools. So I ended up making a pair of tool chests. The one on the left is a small Dutch tool chest via Chris Schwarz ( http://www.popularwoodworking.com/woodworking-blogs/chris-schwarz-blog/details-on-the-dutch-tool-chests ), and the one on the right is a Japanese style tool chest via Toshio Odate and Wilbur Pan ( http://giantcypress.net/post/44613074898/tool-box-after-odate ). I got the idea for using the lid of the Japanese chest as a way to hang the saw from mafe ( http://lumberjocks.com/mafe/blog/30446 )
Both are made of primarily eastern white pine, and are screwed together except for the bottom of the Dutch chest is dovetailed. The Dutch chest is finished in milk paint and linseed oil, and the Japanese chest is unfinished as they traditionally are.
Now it is time to take them on the road…
