Really nice project. One of these ( or something similar) should be on every woodworker’s list. The only thing I would add is a date on it. I love looking back and saying wow, has it been that many years ?!.
It actually started out as a place to store my antique tools, not my collection has grown so much I have a whole cabinets worth! Luckily just having this tool box around has proven pretty useful anytime I need to bring in some tools for a house project!
That came out great. You really are a talented wood worker and designer. The leather makes it feel quieter, like it should be used in a house not a shop.
That's what I was going for! I want to pack it out with tools to bring when delivering furniture, and the leather makes sure that if I need to put it down on hardwood floors I don't risk damaging or scratching them.
Thank, sometimes being a perfectionist can be really annoying because you end up spending so much time on little touches but at the end of the project it's well worth the extra effort!
Looks good, could be made with much thinner stock for lighter weight. I have a tool tote with oak sides that are less than 3/16"- in use since about 1980.
Love these quiet builds of cool stuff in white oak. Good idea with the overlapping rabbets on the big box’s base. I’m going to steal that for the tool chest I plan on building in a month or so.
I can't remember where I saw it but it's defenitly a game changing technique. Make cutting off the lid on the tablesaw way safer and prevents you from accidentally pushing the lid into the blade!
Very good video and excellent tool box. I need a tool box / tote carrier and had considered buying one. They are cheap enough but your video confirmed my thoughts that it will be far more satisfying to make one. 👍
This is great. I'm considering building a DeWalt T-Stak compatible set of toolboxes, I was thinking of using aluminium angle bar to make the attachment clips. What do you think of this idea?
Sounds like it would be pretty cool, the only thing you would have to plan for in your design is wood movement and make sure your attachment points aren't going to move around on you.
I really enjoyed watching your workmanship on this tool chest. One thing that I see that I would question is the handle doesn't have much wood at the top and I would be cautious of loading a lot of tools in this beautiful box. I'd hate to see it not stand up to the stress and rip off.
I was concerned about that too when I finished it, I'd planned for it to be slightly thicker but it endup at about 5/8" round. I did a ton of testing before using it, mainly putting a 25 lbs sandbag on each side and bounding the tool box around. It proved to hold up just fine and I didn't hear any cracking or any signs of the handle bending with the load. The important part is to look at the grain, if you look close you can see that the grain runs through the handle and doesn't vear off in the middle, this makes it extremely strong. So I probably won't go for a hike with this tool box but for carrying my tools from my truck to a workbench it should be plenty strong enough.
Around 15 pounds, definitely not a light weight item, but so far it's held up really well. I think I could've gotten away with thinner pieces but it was a good less to learn.
The handle seems thin and not strong if the box is loaded. But in general, of course, a wonderful clean work, beautiful. Of course I will give a Like. Brilliantly.
Good work! Be careful when you’re routing the inside of a box. I noticed you were doing a climb cut when routing for the bottom. When you’re cutting on the back of the router but you have to switch directions. You’ll find it a more stable cut by pushing left to right. Otherwise
Thanks, I should've included more of that clip to make it make sense but the reason I'm using a climb cut at first is to limit the amount of tearout. Doing a light climb cut works really well, especially in a wood like white oak which is prone to breaking out easily. After that first pass and to remove the majority of the material I did move the box in the right direction for a safer cut.
Really nice project - congratulations! Just a couple of observations, the music is pointless and repetetive and you're speaking way too quick at the end of the video.
The music actually serves a very important purpose. My shop isn't setup great for recording sound so the music helps hide some of the background noises that get picked up. As for my talking speed I don't think that's going to change, I naturally talk fast but if you are having a hard time understanding what I'm saying, RUclips allows you to slow down the video speed by clicking the gear icon. Thanks for watching!

I really like that idea of putting dates on projects!
Very good your work
I would use it for storing antique tools like wood planes/ molding, gentleman saws, antique chisels, marking tools , calipers, etc. Beautiful work

I love your precision and attention to detail. I’m a perfectionist just like you. Keep the great videos coming!

Looks good, could be made with much thinner stock for lighter weight. I have a tool tote with oak sides that are less than 3/16"- in use since about 1980.
I've been thinking about making a version with thinner stock for the sides, this one was kind of overkill!
Dude this is awesome work!
Glad you like it!
Great toolbox !
Love these quiet builds of cool stuff in white oak. Good idea with the overlapping rabbets on the big box’s base. I’m going to steal that for the tool chest I plan on building in a month or so.
That little half-lap works great, and saves you trying to glue up a whole panel!
Nice work, came out beautiful. You have a deft hand with that blade on the leather. 👍
Thanks, leather is definitely a bit challenging to work with but those slow and smooth cuts seem to work well!
Hai una falegnameria fantastica e sei molto preciso nella tua tecnica ,bravo
Grazie mille!
Looks fantastic!
Thanks!
very nice build. I have to agree it is too nice to use it.
Currently it's just sitting in my office on display, someday when it's not "new", I might bring myself to use it!
Not quite sawing the box in two, what a great idea! Cut it with a knife afterward.
I can't remember where I saw it but it's defenitly a game changing technique. Make cutting off the lid on the tablesaw way safer and prevents you from accidentally pushing the lid into the blade!
Very nice
Brilliant
Thanks!
I love this!!!
If you think this is good just wait till you see next weekends video!
That’s really cool. White oak is one of my favorite woods, but I have a hard time finding it for a price I can afford.
Great job
Thanks!
Very nice toolbox
Thanks!
Just perfect!
Thank you!
Nice work Mr Morgan😀 hälsningar Kent från Sverige 😀
Tack Kent!
Very good video and excellent tool box. I need a tool box / tote carrier and had considered buying one. They are cheap enough but your video confirmed my thoughts that it will be far more satisfying to make one. 👍
Thanks, it really is more fun carrying around tools in a box you've made!
That is a fabulous piece of work. Well done 👍🏻 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you very much!
Amazing work and precision and techniques , well done mate 👍👏👏
Thank you! Cheers!

@@morganhurst_redridge so true with normal wood, but quality plywood might negate that problem.

Nice box meng.
Thanks!
Great job!
Thanks!
De donde eres ?😮
How heavy is it without tools?
Around 15 pounds, definitely not a light weight item, but so far it's held up really well. I think I could've gotten away with thinner pieces but it was a good less to learn.

Lovely work and beautiful craftmanship. Although, I think your best use would be to gift it to your wife... LOL
Benefits of being single, I get to keep all the cool stuff for myself! Would make a badass makeup caddy though...
I'am Colombia
Good work!

Nice tool box. Old school mate. How did you sneak the dinner plate out of the kitchen and not get busted by your bride!!!! 😢
Thanks, lucky for me I'm single so it's basically anarchy around here!
Love it!!!!
It looks awesome, buuuuuuuuut, I wouldn't say it was "simple" to build.
Sorry, I should say simple compared to a full size tool chest. You are right though this defenitly isn't simple to make.
Thanks watching!
20kg?
I’ll give you $25. if you can throw in shipping.
Come on, I'm in Canada, shipping is the most expensive part!
Just kidding of course. That’s real nice work….such detail👍🏼
