toolbox
Moses Yoder in White Pigeon, MI
>I had to go through the pics on my old computer to see what I wanted to keep, as we are passing it on to a friend, and found these pics of my tool box and shop. My new Adobe Elements program seems to do a decent job of resizing the files for uploading.
I built this box a few years back, realizing and planning on the fact that it would be the only one I would ever build, and it will be an ongoing project my whole life. I spent three months or so, had a lot of fun, and have not done much to it since. I could go out and measure it I guess, if you really need to know, but guesstimated size is about 30" wide, 46" high, and 18" deep. The doors have fold out racks, saws in the right door, chisels, files and scrapers in the left door, there are pigeon holes in the lower inside section for block planes etc., the upper section has fold out racks for marking, boring, spokeshaves, and small hammers/ mallets. The inside upper left section will hold bench planes 1-8 (I don't have a #1 yet, and have not yet installed the 4-1/2 and 5-1/4 and 2 that I now have) and holds a number 50 plow plane in the very top above the #6 & 7. Upper right inside holds boring tools, the large corner brace, a chain drill, angle attachment for brace, and other misc. A couple more pics after this one. This was really a fun project, and I probably have more time into it than anything else I've ever worked on except my house.
