Chet Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 This has been on my list of things I wanted to build for a long time. I started it back in April sometime but because of some medical issues here in the household I have only been able to work on it in bits and starts, but finally finished it yesterday. It's made from white oak, the hardware was purchased from Gerstner & Sons. The tool chest that this now sits on I finished late last year. I wanted it to be more robust because of some of the tools that it would hold so it is made out of baltic birch plywood and has mechanical drawer glides. Just some of the pictures I took along the way. 3 Quote "Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for." - Epicurus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Outstanding! Super nice work as always! What finish did you use? I like the way it looks on the white oak! Like Bryan, I too hope the medical issues are behind you now! Shout if you need anything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted June 15, 2023 Author Share Posted June 15, 2023 The finish is General Finishes High Performance. It was close, I had just a little left in the can, about a 1/4" in the bottom. I was letting my supply run down because I want to give Target Coatings WB Conversion Varnish a try. Kathy is having some on going challenges after the hip surgery on her other hip. At this point she doesn't have any feeling in her foot which is make the physical therapy a slow process. We saw her surgeon last week and after conferring with the neurologist they believe she has a pinched nerve somewhere between her lower back and lower leg. We are going for an MRI next Wednesday. 3 Quote "Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for." - Epicurus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Great looking tool box bud. The hardware and finish sets it off. I hope the neurologist is able to give her some relief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope she gets the relief, I know what she is going through. I was having numbness and pain in my feet and when finally got imaging done, revealed a slight spine curvature and 3 back fractures. I’m not doing surgery, but did get injections and I got an infection in my leg and made everything worse, basically couldn’t walk for a month.
