Nice video, Tom. The two tool chests look great. Also the division inside I find great. Since you have a beautiful carving lying on the table, which looks like a mirror housing.
Hey Tom, you referenced a stool you guys built in one of your sessions. I was looking to make something exactly what you designed. Where can I find your information on that stool? Thanks.
Thanks for the interest. I think the stool I was referring to was a commissioned piece I made last winter. You'll find it on my membership site, An Unplugged Life, details here: www.theunpluggedwoodshop.com/membership all the best~

Hey Tom, Love these tool chests!! I've been doodling ideas for my own for a few years now and you've pretty much given me a kick up the butt being able to build two in the space of two months!! Where did you find that lid/drawer latch?! Or is that custom hardware?
Thanks Kris, all of the hardware came from Lee Valley Tools. The lid/front panel pins are here: www.leevalley.com/en/wood/page.aspx?p=32762&cat=1,46158,42665 all the best~
Incredible work just love your videos and of course your work. And I'm going to try to fit a month to build the box and go from there the price is definitely worth it. I look at it if I learn something new even just one thing and that's worth its weight in gold. Thank you again.
I love this! Having special storage for tools is so satisfying, but only if the tools are worth it :D Do you have some junk tools for banging on stuff or more general building purposes? Where would you store them? ALSO I LOVE the wood you are using! Any tips on how to get some beautiful wood? All I can get my fingers on are cheap pine-boards... cheers :D
where abouts in the world are you? Most places in Canada and the US have some sort of lumber supply within a few hours drive. Lots of places will ship you small amounts too.
Austria...other side of the world haha. Unfortunately, here the wood vendors are kind of expensive, or won't sell to you if you are not a carpenter by trade.
thanks for the comments- I keep most of my tools in tool chests and/or tool cabinets. As for wood, if you can't find any locally, then try mail order. all the best~
Parabéns por mais este projeto, sou seguidor do seu canal e me inspiro para realizar projetos semelhantes ao seus, apesar de morar em apto e não ter espaço suficiente para realizar alguns tento fazer e as vezes até ficam bem semelhantes, obrigado amigo.
Thanks for sharing. On the Japanese tool box, how far in does the top the insert into the sides? I've made Japanese style tool boxes but more along the size of a small shoe box.
Hi Tom, just discovered you having bought the book ‘The Unplugged Woodshop’. Just watched this video, what’s happened to the membership site (Unpluggedlife) and all the content? Seems to be down. Is it available elsewhere? Thanks
Hi Andy, happy to hear you found me-;) as for the website, yes, it’s under construction but you should still be able to view membership content. Stay tuned -
Hi @@theUnpluggedWoodshop , thanks for the response. Which url should I be looking at? I was looking at unpluggedlife.com, is it now www.theunpluggedwoodshop.com/?
Andy Brook-Dobson -yes, the Unplugged Woodshop.com then click studio tab and you’ll be able to login. Website should be back to “normal” soon-;) Thanks for the interest! Cheers-
I don't travel with my tools often enough to justify elaborate tool chests, but have easily run out of tool storage space so storage cabinets are on my horizon. The aesthetics aren't nearly as important to me as durability and reliability. Your chests are pretty nice, but I would probably go with the plain look over aesthetics every time.. Just a personal thing with me. Other tastes may vary.
I feel similarly. I carry my daily user tools in Paul Seller's "Traveling Joiner's Chest." Its simple, plain, and ultra strong. I made mine out of alder and pine scraps from the trash. Despite its simple aesthetic, it regularly elicits compliments and curiosity from strangers.
Thanks for all the hard work and sharing your talents truly appreciate it beautiful work!!!!!!!!
Kia Ora & Good Evening from Unsworth Heights, North Shore, Auckland, New Zealand …Great Video Bro …
You mentioned the eclipse, so I thought there was going to be (and you were warning of) a dip in the brightness of the daylight.
Woah! That spalted maple panel looks like a marble tile. Wonderful!
Man, I miss seeing your stuff via TH-cam!
Nice video, Tom.
The two tool chests look great.
Also the division inside I find great.

One thing I really like about woodworking is you can build custom stuff to fit your needs exactly! You make some very nice stuff Tom thank you.

Make it wooden with the help of the Stodoys instructions.
Tom, your ability to flirt with elegance and functionality continues to impress. Very 'Krenov-esque'.
Thanks Stephan!
Thank you for sharing Tom! The two boxes are awesome very smart design use of space and artistic beauty, like you say Masterpiece's.
I would be interested in seeing the carving tools you suggest putting in this chest.
Tom, great pieces!
The pins that push down and lock the front door when you close the lid, are they commercially available? Or did you make them?
Thanks Katie-
yes, they're available right here: www.leevalley.com/en/wood/page.aspx?p=32762&cat=1,46158,42665

OK Tom. Not sure what I did differently this time but I seem to have cracked it now. Thanks.
Great stuff Tom! Hope you'll put them in a new book perhaps? Thanks as always for the inspiration! :-) Regards John
Thanks John- I'm working on a new book now...but no, I don't think these will be in it. Other 'boxes'-; )
Great job on all the things you make Tom.

Hi Tom, Love the tool chests, another wonderful project. Regards from Australia
Thanks Garry!
Where can I get a plan for tool box?
They are awesome. How is the folding panel hinged at the bottom. Does it tun on a slot?
Thanks for the question. It simply folds down and there's a slot it stores in.
@@theUnpluggedWoodshop thanks. Planning to finally get around to making one similar
great vidio thumb up

An interesting source of wood is discarded furniture. You can frequently salvage a lot of good, high quality hardwood that way.
Beautiful!

Very nice pieces of work, thank you for the video and all the other as well. Cheers!
many thanks!

Obrigado! Usar apenas ferramentas manuais torna mais fácil fazer trabalhos de madeira em espaços pequenos. Muito bem sucedida.
What a passion. Good on you......
Looks great man! Well done. I'll definitely be member soon :)
Thanks Shane!

@@theUnpluggedWoodshop Thanks, are you still adding weekly content?
Andy Brook-Dobson you bet. Some weeks it’s almost daily but through the year it’s safe to say it averages about three a week, sometimes more. 🍻

Thanks for the comments. I completely agree- sometimes just a box is enough...that's why the Japanese style tool chest. Very fast and easy to build.
