After seeing different Dutch tool chest builds, English tool chest builds and Japanese tool chest builds, I designed this portable tool chest as I didn't think any of those styles would exactly meet my a portable hand tool storage needs.
I needed something with a small footprint to not take up too much space on my workbench, yet fit a my hand plane, coping saw, pull saws, chisels and a variety of other tools while still having room to grow. I also needed to be portable as I have to take to my backyard every time I work on a project.

I so appreciate you showing how you made this wonderful project including catching the errors so many of us hit and your fixes. This art requires so much patience

Good project to practice your skills on. I know Japanese saws have a very fine kerf/cut, but you still need to cut on the waste side of the line, not through the line. Then you finesse the joint with gentle chisel work or sanding.That's why your finger joints were bit too loose. Keep it up, you'll learn something new with each project

Yep, less exact cutting, more finessing with the finish touches next time!

I appreciate that you showed the product, the process and the mistakes. In this day and age, it seems as if everybody only show flawless almost unobtainable results especially for the beginning level wood workers. it almost seems a bit dishonest. I feel that you taking the time to make a video, to show the good and little mistakes shows integrity as a whole. And with due time you will only get better. I'll definitely subscribe. Looking forward to the progress and new projects. 👍

I agree. Editing out everything that's not 100% perfect leaves no room for us mortals to see how other people tweak the project back on track. Thanks for describing the problems and how you dealt with them. That's truly helpful.

I’ve been putting off doing something similar with excuses like; not having a workshop yet, cost of exotic timbers, etc. But you’ve just reminded me that I don’t need a 30’x30’ fully equipped wood shop and or expensive woods to be making something to keep my tool collection in safe, good condition. Plus; I ain’t no master craftsman, so clearly cutting my teeth on some inexpensive materials and working out the kinks in my design and/or execution is the way to go. Thanks for the inspiration. I’ve subbed and will be keeping a watchful eye on your progress in sawdust. Keep up the good work and content💪👍

Thanks! I think we all dream about having that big shop one day.

If you place the work fully on the bench the chopping out of the joints will be much easier

Sounds about right!

Hi, cool design and nice to see you struggling with the same stuff as the rest of us. I like the fact you share the full journey. I was wondering how the box held up ? Maybe it’s time for a review ?

@StumblingBearWoodcraft Жыл бұрын

Hey, its held up well including a cross country move! Will see about a review of it and some of the other projects soon!

Don't take this the wrong way, but the way most creators edit videos we don't see the mistakes. Thank you for making the projects look more accessible to more beginner hobbyists!

Chiseling off the edge of the bench like that takes all the power out of the chisel. The board flexes and instead of cutting the wood fibers the chisel bounces. Awesome design and project though

Yep, learned that the hard way. :)

Neat tool chest. Gluing the solid wood panel in worries me a bit but maybe since it’s soft pine wood movement won’t be much of an issue!

@StumblingBearWoodcraft 2 жыл бұрын

Same concern, it got the job done but not doing that again!
