As a hybrid woodworker, storing and protecting my handtools in a way that makes them easily accessible is very important. My Dutch Tool Chest is basically an entire handtool woodshop in a box. In it is every single tool I need to turn a tree into a piece of fine furniture. It is handy to take my entire handtool workshop with me when I teach classes and build in my friends' shops. This chest's contents are particularly special to me because every tool in it has a story- I either know the maker personally or have taken part in the actual construction of the tool myself. I think using tools made by people I admire encourages me to build to a higher standard. Further, using beautiful tools inspires me to do beautiful work. I built my first dutch tool chest after reading about the project in a piece written by Christopher Schwarz. You can read what he's written on the topic on the Lost Art Press blog and he also has a video about building a dutch toolchest available through Lie-Nielsen Toolworks. Building a Dutch Toolchest is a great weekend project utilizing fairly inexpensive materials which will allow you to practice your dovetails (don't worry, it's painted!), dado grooves, tongue and groove joints, and breadboard ends. If you haven't seen it yet, check out the "building a dutch toolchest" video: • Build a Dutch Tool Che...

I watched the build video and am very happy to see the tool chest filled and in use! For all the viewer concerned with the cost of high end heirloom tools: There are a number of You-Tube Channels were the makers show how to make the basic tools needed or aquire them at low cost. Pask Makes, Wood by Wright , Paul Sellers and Rex Krueger are just the tip of the iceberg. As you go along, you can later replace individual tools with high end versions as your finances allow or you heart desires.

That is a fantastic point and a great addition to the conversation. This is certainly not my “starter” tool collection, it was built up for many years by scrimping and saving.

Hi Anne I also have many hand tools. I love using them, many of them were my grandfather's. My tool chest was made by my grandfather so all the tools have significant conscious value to me. He died when I was 16 and left them to me. Many family members wondering what his 16 year old granddaughter a girl was going to do with hand saws hammers planes etc. They couldn't have been further wrong I have used them all my life and they hold very precious values to me of grandfather using them and showing his very young granddaughter how to use them. Thanks Anne Ashleigh 💖

Very nice. When I got out of the service at age 22, I started woodworking. I had the good fortune to inherit some old tools that my great-grandfather used in his business of building houses in the summer and making coffins in the winter. I was and still am, a traditional woodworker. I have a lot of the old school tools, but I realized here lately that the older I get, the more power I use. There is something to be said for power. It is a hard way to turn a bowl on a spring -pole lathe at the age of 75 even if I do have two motors to run the thing! Thanks for keeping the traditional way going.

That's an impressive toolbox full of beautiful tools you certainly should be proud of! Love seeing the tools you use to make your wonderful projects! I hope they all get packaged really well for the move and nothing disappears during the move. My friend moved about 8 months ago due to a job position change within the company and the company paid for a moving company to relocate him. When the truck arrived at the new house his 70" T.V. was missing and the moving company couldn't find where it had been "misplaced." Even now he still hasn't had any resolution on it. That's why I decided to move everything myself when I bought my new house.

Another great inspiring video. I have a small collection of hand tools and I'm not very good at using them but I'm getting better with each time I use them and plan to get some more hand tools when I am able to afford them. Unlike some others that have someone to gift tools to I don't know anyone who would do stuff like that for me. Please don't get me wrong I'm not trying to be picky or anything like that it's just that I don't know very many people who are into wood working on any scale. That is one of the reasons why I really enjoy watching videos like yours. I'm disabled and can't do a lot of things with my hands,but that doesn't stop me from doing the best I can with what I do have. Keep the great videos coming. Thanks for sharing and God bless

Jim Tolpins book "the toolbox book" on page 8 list a chest as a Dutch chest. Because it was brought to America in the late 1800's from Amsterdam, and it seems that it has been popularized recently as a Dutch tool chest instead of a tool chest from the netherlands.

Seeing a young woman doing this sort of work , all by hand if wanted on site . I've been a carpenter / woodworker all of my adult life , and then some . Im 59 years old , semi retired . But I still have two shops , and a ton of aviation air tools , electric carpenter tools , and most importantly hand tools . If I may be so bold as to offer a few added tools for your chest . Firstly a Stanley odd jobs measuring device , a 12 pc small set of carving tools (English steel ) , no. 2 Stanley sweetheart plane , lie neilsen chisel plane , Stanley small bullnose plane , shinwa 30 cm protractor gauge , 3 pc set of Japanese douzuki saws, 4pc set of paring chisels , 4 pc set of short cranked neck paring chisels ,, starrett small thicknessing gauge , Boggs spoke shave , good German drawknife , numerous wood auroiou rasps , incl circle stairmakers set , pferd detail rasps , nicholson49 & 50 wood rasps . I'm going to stop there....I will list more to you later.....I guarantee you will use every one of them . I have 3 wood tool chests , all I made myself , plus a bunch of ruffian canvas carpenter bags , chisel holders , etc . Drop me an email sometime at hartchase@aol.com or on Facebook Carl Krebs . I will show you a LOT. Of old tools , their uses , maybe a few you haven't seen . I started buying antique tools when I was 16 years old , as well as modern electronic tools , makita , porter cable , fein , lamello , and many others incl many machinist tools too . I don't buy modern table type shop equipment , I restore 40-80 year old stuff because they have very heavy mehannite iron castings in them . They don't make em like that any longer . Once they are restored they had accuracy more and longer than ANY. New ones . I have a step daughter that's a 21 year old filipina I would like to introduce you too . Her name is lynses Alexa Krebs on Facebook . She has taken a serious interest in woodworking and carpentry . It would truly be great for her to know and see that not all younger American women her age are as lazy as they may appear. Your the perfect woman to do that ! Hopefully I will be moving her and her brothers and sister ger soon . Iv been married to her mom4 years this October . So anyhow.......seriously drop me a line ! Enjoyed your video !

Sounds like you and I could do some serious tool debating around a fire pit sometime, I have used most of the tools you've recommended and can give a fairly articulate argument for why none of them are in my chest, save the carving set, I keep my pfiel carving chisels in a special roll in my tool cabinet. I'm a sucker for old tools too, I actually started my business by professionally restoring old tools for folks interested in putting their grandpa's tools back to work or even just back on the shelf to look at. I've got a pretty cool collection of rare stuff as well. I am currently in the market for an old bridgeport, so if you ever hear of one, let me know! You can send me an email anytime marketing@anneofalltrades.com

Is there a specific reason for the lid to be sloping? I would imagine a square box is more efficient in use, can be stacked and is perhaps also easier to build?

@txheritage 4 жыл бұрын

Jan Verzee you can’t let junk build up on the top of a sloped toolchest, but a flat topped chest gathers it quickly!

@AnneofAllTrades 4 жыл бұрын

Jan Verzee the sloped lid is specifically designed *so you can’t* stack things on top and make it harder for yourself to access the tools you need to work ;)

Hi Anne. What is the finish on your tool chest? Looks very traditional.

@AnneofAllTrades 4 жыл бұрын

It's milk paint and wax! Traditional indeed. There's a video coming on forging and installing hinges and painting the chest I built a few weeks ago.

No shooting plane? I find the shooting plane to be a very important tool.

@AnneofAllTrades 3 жыл бұрын

My shooting plane lives in my shooting board and while I use it a ton, it’s not a “necessary” tool by any means, and with the shooting board it doesn’t fit in my tool chest. It’s very easy to make a shooting board that will accommodate any of the other planes just fine.

@AnneofAllTrades Жыл бұрын

So fun to find treasures like that and give them new life! Lie Nielsen is still making tools to the same quality they have been for 41 years- they might not be available at all the same retailers, but you can still get them straight from the source :)

Sigh, I'm jealous, none of my tools are shiny, they're also all well used! Every time I go to 2nd hand stores I always look for old bits and parts of tools. I've got way to many bits for braces! Kind of a runaway train in that way. But I hate to see them just abused by people trying to use them in power drills.

@AnneofAllTrades 4 жыл бұрын

I collect old braces as well, and have many an antique tool in my collection, this chest is the culmination of a whole lot of relationships, and as such, even though these are my every day users, I take a lot of care to keep them really nice. I plan to pass them down to my grandkids someday!

@@AnneofAllTrades I'm waiting for my sons to figure out how to make grandkids...sigh, ongoing! My favorite find on ebay was a hand operated drill used to drill holes in beams in barns, that were connected with trunnels. After you squared up the beam, you set up your holes then plunked this thing down, sat on it and started turning the gears.
