- Final part of my dutch tool chest build, built from plans by Chris Schwarz via a Popular Woodworking article from October 2013. This video is mostly assembly and the final touches like painting, attaching hardware, and loading up the chest.
Not a how-to video, just a look into my (mostly) handtool woodworking and some shop sounds. I'm just an amateur woodworker so I'm sure there's plenty of mistakes to be found in these videos 😁. If you have any questions feel free to leave them in the comments and I'll be sure to asnwer, and thank you for watching!

A job well done, a wonderful outcome , you can be very proud of the tool chest, I watched all 3 videos in a row , very good videos indeed.
I particularly like the dust seals you put on the lid. They double as battens I think. Great idea!
Thank you for the video series. What a wonderful hand tool class? Enjoyed it a lot and a beginner, learned a lot. Thanks again.
Very nice job!! Im just getting started. currently building a workbench and will then build a tool chest. Thank you for sharing!
I’m in the middle of building one myself; thanks for sharing 👍
Awesome built man
Well done of a project 👍 , I really need one instead of my scattered tools everywhere 🤷 , maybe soon larger than yours , thanks for sharing.😊
Nice work!
I subscribed, hope it puts you to 1,000 subs. Nice chest, I need to make one for myself.
It does, thank you, I really appreciate it! And thanks for the compliment, I'm loving working out of it.
Beautiful
Thank you, appreciate it!
I'm looking forward to your new content. What's your take on a get home bag for a vehicle?
I like the use of dividers to lay out the nails! Makes sense, but I don't know if I've ever seen it done that way before. Nice job timing all the screws btw👍
Where'd you source the cut nails? Tremont, or TFWW?
Appreciate the kind words! Probably overkill but I wanted my nail spacing to be exact 😁.
16:00 I have a Stanley No. 6 if you prefer something bigger for those chamfers. ;)
Haha, make it a no 8, even better 😂.
@@twenty-twoonewoodworks3745 Hahaha sure!
looks good, if you ever need to chop out a hinge mortise look up a vid from english woodworker called hand cutting rebates. Also where did you source your strap hinges from?
Thank you, appreciate it! And I'll have to check out that video.
The strap hinges are from Van Dyke's Restorer's.
What was The finish you used on the unpainted sections? Great chest! God bless
What are you passing your planes on before use (on the tin can) ?
The can has an oily rag in it. (Usually 3-in-1 but any lube will do) He’s lubricating the plane so it slides easier and smoother on the wood.
Loading that beauty up for the first time must have been particularly satisfying!? Nice Job!!
Where did you find the hinges ?
Since when is an electric drill a hand tool? It has a battery; it's electric. Why the obligatory Japanese pull saw? I've done many fine cuts with a western saw.
Why not the Japanese handsaw? There's no difference what typ saw you use, if its sharp and has the right teeth for the job. Who cares?
@@mathiasschulze6148 Show offy stuff and the work is not improved by it, one bit. Question: Why use a $5.00 saw when a $50.00 one will do?
@@harrymason1053 the toolbox looks great and it works. Yeah he could drill the holes in the back with a hand drill. I have manny western handsaws, frame saws and japanese saws. I use all of them. The only real advantage of normal western handsaws...they are smaller and easyer to carry.
@@mathiasschulze6148 I'm old school. I acquired my tools back when Japanese was synonymous with junk.
@@harrymason1053 I am jung and I am in to woodworking only a few years. What a great hobby that is. I start to collect and restore old tools and work with them. Japanese Saws are cheap for the quality you get. The saws are thin, very sharp and easy to use. But you can't resharp them, that's the only reason why I don't buy them any more. I have 3 of them, and if they become doll they will be the last ones for me. but they serve me well for years now. I think the most important skill is to find the solution to the problem with the tools you have. If it is the smartes way to solve the problem I use power tools, if it makes no difference I always use my hand tools.
Nice!
Is that oiled maple for the battens on the door and lid? Looks great.
I might steal some of these ideas for my own build. Love the little wedge to hold the planes in place!
Thank you, that's a big compliment 😁. I'm sure lots of other people have done it, but that seemed like the easiest way to secure the dividers in place while still being easily adjustable. I have to say it works pretty good too, it's been nice and snug ever since 👍.
