Details

This is a 28" x 14" x 18" tall machinist style tool chest. Drawers are finger jointed and run on Hard Maple runners. Drawers are HM also. Front panel reflects light wierd in the image, it looks far better in person. I couldn't bear to get it dirty so I gave it to my brother Jeff for his extensive arrowhead collection from the Chesapeake Bay.  The main case is mitered and crossdoweled similar to the ancient Mummy cases from Egypt. The front panel folds down and slips under the drawers. 


Design or Plan used: My own design - Cliff Wieser
