Toolbox From Scrap! (mostly scrap anyway)
i was out messing around in the shop today and started the build for a much needed box for some of my woodworking tools.
i used a combination of scrap 1/2" plywood for the sides and floor, some 1x4's from a shipping crate for the rear panel and top , 1- 1x8 (new wood) for the front, 1-1x2 furring strip (new wood) for the top lid supports and lower floor supports, wood glue , 2 short sections of reclaimed light duty chain,crown stapler and 1-1/4" crown staples, a few screws, a pair of new hinges , and a few antique square cut nails.
this box is super solid, but relatively light in weight.
the dimensions are 24" long x 20" wide x 20" tall
i'll be adding a small drawer and doing some limited finishing in the next episode,
thanks for looking !
