Thanks for the affirmation David

I did all operations with hand tools. I was really careful with the resawing, planing the boards was a challenge too. In the end my no 80 was needed as the grain around the knots couldn’t be planed !

I’m happy how most of it turned out. As said before, it was meant As a practice project.
That being said, there are a few errors I wouldn’t dare to leave in a commissioned piece. Check the pics.
Most are faulty resawing. But I managed to hide these where the drawers are.

The door still isn’t to my liking, also possibly because I’m not really happy with this lock. It’s a tad too small now.

In the end it is a good place to keep some less frequently used tools in. I’ve made a few rice bags to keep moisture levels low.

Now I need to make a handle.
As it’s meant to be portable too for when I need to do something away from the shop, I need some thing that fits my hand.
So I’ll be free shaping that, another first.

I couldn’t cut the catch any shorter, don’t really have any space.
I had to reduce the catch on the carcass already too.

To be honest, I bought the lock after I started making things, another good one to remember. Just buy everything before you start building.
