Building a Tool Chest out of Scrap for an Antique Tool Collection

  • A tool chest for antique tools. I was asked to make a tool chest to display a large collection of antique tools. It's made using materials from an old oak wardrobe, a pine chest of drawers and a mahogany desk. This has been a very complicated build, but it was a lot of fun.

    😲 Oh... My father was a carpenter, and from him I grew a respect and love for woodworking and wonderful old tools that has been with me all my life. When I was living on my own and making my own money, I began to grow a collection of vintage tool like these. I always managed to find small, suitable boxes in which to keep them, and I used some of my old woodworking tools to make Appalachian dulcimers.
    I've always loved those old tools... Alas, I have far fewer these days, than I'd like... Sadly I haven't the room, anymore. I still love the sight of them, though. I wanted to thank you for this build. It's been truly gratifying to watch a master at work. Thank you for having the respect for these fine old tools that you would take such a careful, thoughtful time building such a wonderful chest to house them. 💕
