Building a toolbox from reclaimed materials - BANDARRA

My hand tools have been all over the place for a while and I had some reclaimed plywood and other parts kind of in the way so I thought I would put it all together in the shape of a toolbox or tool chest.

I started by measuring and adjusting the drawer sliders so that they were all the same length. Then based on that and the plywood I had I made a quick CAD model to define the look and dimensions and also to make sure I had enough wood.

Then I cut all the pieces to size and glue them together with rabbets and dadoes. It's really nice to work with good quality plywood :)

Then I fitted the drawer slides and this was the trickiest part. They didn't come out perfect but was good enough for my first try.

I finished by doing some drawer faces out of reclaimed flooring and put down stickers from all the makers I met at Makers Central back in May.

Now I'm one step closer to having a somewhat tidier workshop :)
