The World is better when you are on youtube
Thanks Dale
Right he’s just so happy it’s nice to watch his videos very relaxing
Get on there Harry, glad to see this in my notifications. Happy to see you back in youtube land
Great to see you looking so well Harry, thanks for uploading this interesting piece of history.
Genius design. More often than not, simple is best. Easy access. My kind of tool tote!
Oh I'm so glad to see you again. LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. You look great.
Thanks very much Cyndi.
Hi Harry, glad to see you back.
Thank you so much for sharing this tool box pattern. Great ideal for my project. Blessings😊
My father is a carpenter, and has made a box very much like what you have there. Instead of leather straps it has wooden "loops". He probably saw one from some older master and made it from memory. Didn't think the design would be (at least) hundreds of years old.
Nifty piece of kit my friend. Well made. 💪👍👍
Sounds pretty good Harry great to hear your voice again on TH-cam
Harry! This certainly is a wonderfully awesome idea that you have shared here! This cool Tool Caddy with your new added details and free plans are greatly appreciated! This Tool Caddy can be appreciated and used in different lines of work and jobs that need to be done…. I’m so excited to see you back to work and on TH-cam sharing your wonderful ideas and videos. Many prayers 🙏🙏🙏 are sent your way for a full recovery ❤️🩹 blessings be with you!
Thanks very much
brilliant tutorial Harry! I'm straight off to do this
I like the " loo roll " handle with perhaps an old Allen key to fix ? Off now to modify a few of my tool boxes... ;o) ... mb
Thank you so much for this upload. It is a joy to see you back. I am pleased to say that both of the beautiful belts you supplied to me over the years are worn both exclusively and constantly.( I binned all my other belts)
I am even more delighted to note that I still use the same fastening location on the one I bought in 2018!!! The older it gets the sweeter it becomes. Wish I was like that!!
You have always been one of the most intriguing, skilled and gentlemanly people I have ever had the privilege to watch on TH-cam.
Live long and prosper sir....
Thank you very much, and it's great to hear your belts are getting very good use. I had a chuckle about sizing...you have done well. Thanks again...Best regards Harry
Hi Harry, Good to see you back on form. Congratulations on your book and love that 15th century toolbox, great. Take care.
Thanks very much Mel.
I have made lots of these, and one carried my Plumbing tools for 20+ years until I retired, I fitted compartments on the Outside to hold specialist Plumbing Tools leaving more room inside.

That sounds good Len...it would be interesting to see...tins of flux, moleskin wipe?
Thanks Harry. I use a toolbox of similar design, every day. Mine is made of plywood and has a piece of conduit for a handle. It's 8x20, lightweight and easy to carry comfortably at your side because it's narrow. I've added basswood blocks full of small holes to hold drill bits etc. I wouldn't trade it for anything, think I paid twenty dollars for it at an auction
That sounds a very good design Karl...the lightness is great.
Very good to see you again. My dad had a couple of tool boxes like this, one a bit larger than the other. I don't recall seeing him use a strap to carry them, but he did have assorted leather belts & straps hanging on a wall in his tool shed.
No the strap is probably only of interest to shoemakers, as it doubles up as a foot operated shoemakers stirrup
The strap could be used with a low Roman bench to secure wood in a similar to traditional Chinese woodworkers. Great box will certain make one, can never have too many toolboxes.
@@jeffstratford Good idea Jeff
Great project Harry. I’m about 1 1/5 hrs from Williamsburg. I don’t remember seeing the shoe shop. I’ll have to make sure I get there again soon and spend some time in that shop. Thanks for the dimensions.
Great News on your book. Very glad for you.
Best Regards,
John
Thanks John...looks like a good museum....a bit like the Weald and Downland museum here.
Sweet design, thanks for sharing. One thing I would've done differently is nail the leather loops in AFTER I glued the whole thing together. That way, it takes four times as long and the inside of the box gets all banged up.
I keep a bunch of my tools in japanese design tool boxes, another time-proven one. their weakness is definitely requiring two hands to pick up. I'll make this handled style soon :)
Haha yes I learnt the hard way on a previous one 😅
Good looking toolbox. I'd be afraid of putting dings in it and scratching it.
Gracias por compartir, un gran aporte para mi. 👏👏👏🤝🤝🤝
Gracias

Purpose of the notch in handle?
Thank you for sharing.
To hold the strap
I have a very similar one my wife bought me though the handle doesn’t disassemble. It was frustrating to the point where I sawed it off, adding two inch feet to each end so it was higher. Still not as good as the one you’re showing here.
Very nice where did you get the copper nails from ??
Ebay or boat chandlers
@@harryrogers Did you cut them down ? because I can see long ones but not short ones and you must have used short ones as your board for the leather loops was not that thick
@@kevindesilva4588 Hi yes I used short ones inside and 1.25 inch for the walls....I pre drilled narrow holes for the long ones.
Harry, what is the brown bulbous thing in the toolbox?
Hi its a shoemakers spinning top for making waxed end sewing threads....a bit like a drop spindle.
