I'm just about to build the trays for my own chest, out of the same book. It has been a lot of fun. Yours looks great! And the LN no.6 is my favorite plane, too. Nice choice!

Hi. The mallet is made of beech. I'm Danish, and I have never seen a Danish mallet made from anything else but beech, and it looks like it as well. Thanks for shearing.

Oh wonderful, thank you. I've kind of lost touch with the Danish guys I did that course with, but one day I intend to get myself over to your fine country and check out all the lovely furniture, and other things!

If you've sheared good times in the past, theres probably room for new in the future. Hope you get to do it some day. One thing I forgot to mention - very nice tool chest.

Hi David! Great video. I use my chest like crazy. Perhaps I should break down and paint it one of these days.

Hey Brian, they sure are super useful. I kinda want a wall cabinet too, but a different concept of course. I think the origin of these were shipping where they would be taken on and off ships ie mobile. People were stronger in the old days I’m sure! For a static workshop with wallspace I think a wall cupboard has the edge. Still yes this is very useful.

Hi Scott, thanks - glad you liked it. The shell is pine, the runners, tills are oak. Painted in milk paint - two coats of barn red, followed by three coats of matt black.

Nice, it wasnt radiata pine was it? Having trouble finding good pine to use that is around 1 inch thick for my chest. Would you you wha species of pine you used ? Thanks again

Scott Gates it is Scott's pine, Pinus sylvestrus. Really, the best wood to use is whatever you can get. The lighter the better, because once it's full of tools it is very heavy.

Yes that’s Dictum, they run a lot of great courses. I’m not sure if they are still doing this one. Niederalteich is a interesting place to go to.

Not exactly modern. But did you know it is virtually identical to a chest in a book by Paul N.Hasluck, "The Handyman's Book" page 257. isbn 0-89815-203-8 Ten Speed Press. Aside from those made at Christopher's classes, I have not seen many OLD constructions like this one. The saw till is an abomination of space abuse. About the book. Do you subscribe to the notion that you are not allowed to have more tools than those on HIS list ? What if you want something else. By the way have you seen any indication that CS is a MASTER cabinetmaker? Just some food for thought.

I've seen quite a few chests where the saws live on the underside of the lid. It's really up to you how you fit out the insides of the chest - CS's design is an intersection of old designs but it's not laid down in stone what should go on inside the chest. I'm not sure how common saw tills were in old times - probably quite common if CS chose it for his design. CS earns his living through publishing, teaching and his woodworking skills and knowledge are extremely high, I'd say. However, cabinetmaking and furniture making is not his main activity, at least it not used to be when I met him around 2012. It's something he enjoys a lot but he doesn't spend all day every day making pieces, if that answers your question.
