Wooden Tool Box Build - A Mitred Dovetail Tote

#toolstorage #toolbox #woodworking

Welcome back to my channel.

I have been using a plastic box as a means for transporting my consumables but it keeps breaking and it require 2 hands to hold it. I wanted to make a tool / consumables tote.

It had to fit in with my other tool chests so naturally it had to be walnut ( English I believe? ) and Maple. As with many of my projects I like to use traditional wood furniture joints so This includes Mitred Dovetails & Through Wedged Mortice & tenon.

The handle was 3 layers laminated together using TiteBond 3. It was then turned on my Record Power Coronet Herald wood Lathe

Finished with Chestnut Products Shellac Sanding Sealant and a burnishing of Microcrystalline Wax. Left to harden then buffed off using my lathe.

This is well balanced when held anywhere along the handle.

I want to show that how living with mental and physical health issues has been helped so much by having a hobby.

Don't forget to tell me in the comments what you would use this for. I look forward to reading them.

I hope you enjoy watching the build process and welcome your comments.

Thank you for watching.
