MATERIALS

The wood components for the Tool Chest - includes parts for the lid panel and frame, sides, bottom panels, base skirt and the top skirt - are provided by the school as a kit for each participant. The parts will be milled to finished size and ready for joinery.

The Tool Chests are offered in two sizes in this class. One is the full size, the other is the "traveling size" for those who don't have the space for a full chest but want to hold all the tools. The smaller one is basically the same with some shrinkage.

The original is approximatly 38" long 22" deep and 25" high

Traveling size is approximatly 38" long, 18" deep and 14" high
