A deceptively subdued piece, this tool box serves as the basis of a variety of casework, from a simple dresser to a slant-top desk and even a highboy. This project provides an introduction to woodworking fundamentals, including milling, sharpening, board layout, dovetailed case construction, and drawer construction. Despite its title, this project has a myriad of possible uses: jewelry case, collections chest, silverware case, etc. Changing lumber choice, dimensions, and drawer layout allows for personalization not only for space, but also function.
Tool Box
Tommy Mac,
I total enjoy your show, trying not to miss any. I just finished watching the show about your hand made Tool Box. It was awesome to watch to the finish, I enjoy your mastery and your per site to the detail, I’m the same way. It’s a joy to every day I can. I hope to collect every show in time. Is there a price for the whole season or a box set. Would like to know if those are available?
But I have 17 years woodworking at a door comany in Fort Worth, Texas. It was a 5 acer lumber yard. The ower started the door comany using his 1sr letter of his name, “RES Door was the name of the company. The time I spent there was one of the best time of my life. So much I learned there from this one guy fixin to retired from the comany. Was a blessing to be around.. Doors wasn’ t the only thing we made, mantels side lights and so on. Plus I lived only 3 blocks from work. T he owner siad if we to, we can glue up scape wood to make anything we want to. At first I made toy for my 2 kids they was under 5 year old.
Hope to from you soon, May the blesing be.

Do you sell plans to your tool box that you built? If so how do I get a copy of it?
Unfortunately Shop PBS does not have the plan. I was able to get it from the Popular Woodworking article. http://www.popularwoodworking.com/dec12/tommy-macs-toolbox.
