That's stunning work mate, i really want to build a tool box, do you have the plans for this chest? The anarchists tool chest is the one I will build at some stage.

Also nice chisels

Thanks mate, I dont have the plans but if you need to know the dimensions of his one let me know. I just guessed, It has come out pretty good for my needs...could have been 10% smaller for carrying around.

It has two coats of Danish and then a wire wool wax. I prefer an understated finish and dislike the yellowing too much oil produces.

It is the first item I have made using only the hand tools, felt inspired by Paul sellers and Roy Underhill.


Thanks for the big praise guys, it means a lot....first thing I have really made for twenty years.

Wow - looks like self-tution (and the 'net) really works!

It has room for 3 Stanley planes 3,4 and 5 under the Tills next to the saws.
