Hi all

I’ve just completed a joiner’s toolbox for my eldest son. I’ve been woodworking for some years but this is my first truly hand made item. I made it from my son’s old bunk bed that he had when he was at home so was restricted a bit by the material I had available.

These were also my first hand cut dovetails, quite a challenge I found, especially without a proper bench to hold everything. All I currently have is a B&D Jobber bolted to an old desk-my next project is a bench!

I didn’t sand anything, wanting to leave my tool marks in but that does leave it looking a little rough. It certainly isn’t perfect but I enjoyed the process.

I filled it with tools both new and old (which I restored) and all the tools from his childhood tool box which we still had.

After the bench I need to build myself one of these…I’m just about to buy a new bed so I can see a use for the old one 🙂

Thanks for looking everyone 🙂
