This is my Tool Box from North Bennet Street school, built in 2007. It is made of walnut with Cherry Draw fronts, with turned walnut draw pulls. The lid panels are tiger maple. The secondary wood is of soft maple, which was used for the draw dividers. Poplar was used on the draw sides and draw bottoms. The finish is Shellac. Demensions 30"L x 18"w x 17"h. When designing your tool box you have to stay within certain parameters, such as no larger than, no smaller than. A certain number of draws, with dovetail partitions. Several skills brought together in one project. With an emphasis on Craftsmanship.
