Timber tool box

Kind of a Big Deal

Timber tool box

I decided to make a timber toolbox for timber off cuts and salvaged kerbside timber, my intention  was to use materials at hand, I had pine for the sides, marine ply for the base,  IKEA bed timber ( looks like Swedish pine) for the sides, merbau timber for the handle.

 

I made the joins by making box joints, the base was recessed  and screwed on the bottom, I did this to allow future replacement if required.

 

The handle was shaped by making a template and using a jigsaw to cut and router to finish.

 

The toolbox was oiled then waxed.

Hi @tnsmith001 

 

I also suggest having a look at this project - Coffee table with recycled hardwood top. Absolutely no screws visible.

Very nice woodworking skills there @JoeAzza I only wish I had the patience for that type of detail.
