Does anyone have any plans for a Gerstner Style tool chest. The only plans I could find you had to buy. For something like this I hate buying plans because there not always what you bargain for. Any help Would be appriciated. Thanks -Dan
Did you have a look at this set of plans?

At a total cost of $15.00 for the plans plus shipping, you cannot complain. I have a set of these plans, and they could easily be modified to make the chest a different size. The chest in these plans is 26" wide, 16 1/4" high, and 10 1/2" deep. There are eleven drawers. It is a very complete set of plans, and includes a bill of materials as well as some construction notes. There are a total of 13 pages.
Will I share my set of plans? No, and for a number of very good reasons:
1. They have a copyright on them. I copyright my work and hope that others will respect that copyright. In turn, I respect the copyrights of others.
2. It takes a lot of work to create a set of drawings. Many hours go into producing what appears to be a simple set of drawings. If the designer chooses to sell his plans to compensate himself for his time investment, that is his choice, and the rest of us should respect that.
3. Compared to the cost of the materials and the cost of the machinery you need to build such a tool chest, the cost of the plans is a drop in the bucket.
ON EDIT: I did not create the plans for the tool chest, but I did purchase a set. The plans that I created and shared were for a no fog coolant sprayer. Sorry for any confusion!!
