It is a simple build, I'm sure I'm making it more complex than needed but that is the Western way :-). I cheated and dug out and blew all the dust off the old biscuit joiner. BTW, it took a couple of minutes of butt scratching to remember how to use it. Finally figured it out and used it for the end butt joints. The cut nails should add a little to the strength but I suspect they will be more decorative than anything else.
I'll tongue and grove the bottom slats if time permits.
I have not decided on a sliding tray or not, right now I'm leaning toward yes.
Labor Day is barreling done on us and I have no days off before we leave for Oregon.

Nice tool box. I have one of those on my to do list. It seems like a manageable size for traveling tools.

I vote yes on the sliding tray. As for the biscuits, call them floating tenons and you'll feel better. That's what I do. :)
ReplyDeleteSteve,
ReplyDeleteThanks, I think it will work for a traveling tool box. I just finished it with the exception of the sliding tray.

Andy,
ReplyDeleteI like the way you think. BTW I made another tool box several weeks ago with just using cut nails and it was a disaster. I'm not sure if it will ever be finished, even for a tool box it is too ugly to live.
The sliding tray will be done once the vise is finished...Screw should be here today.
