This is just a basic, traditional machinist's chest build video. Here's a link to where I purchased the hardware: gerstnerusa.com/product-categ...

The blue suede combined with the walnut made me feel things

That's just beautiful, thanks for sharing! I might scale this down somewhat for a jewellery box. And wow, _great_ tip for gluing the material to a precut backer before inserting it, I always make a meal of that step! 👍

I'd definitely love to see this done primarily with hand tools! 👍

The originals are made with machine tools, and the correct joints (NOT the ones used here) would be very difficult by hand. Gerstner have a video showing manufacture.

@@Tensquaremetreworkshop I realize that. But he did say he's done them by hand in the past, and asked if we'd like to see that. Hence my post.

@@memilanuk Ahh, so you want to see the wrong joints made by hand? The original is very much an engineer's approach to woodwork. It all goes together without fixings (apart from the furniture) and interlocks beautifully. They use veneered ply for back, bottom and inside bottom, so that wood movement does not interfere with the machined approach. They have been making them for almost 100 years- a testament to the design.

@@Tensquaremetreworkshop seems like anything deviating from the original offends your sensibilities somehow. Too bad

@@memilanuk In this case, yes. It is a beautiful and logical construction. Why change it? A pastiche.

I ‘d like to see this done in more detail over 4 or 5 episodes. With plans. In metric! I had you until metric? 😂

Awesome work! Can you offer plans for sale?

@@josemoral8768 sorry, I tend to make these things up as I go, so I don’t have plans, or even a decent way to create them.

Nice piece, but you whipped through the build a little too quickly to really understand what you were doing in some steps. I hope you do a slower edit of this build with a little more detail. I reckon a 20-30min version would do your skills more justice. Really nice job thouugh. This type of tool chest is on my project to do list
