So final Summer, my hubby together with boy developed a novel talent...blacksmithing! They took an apprentice storey together with built a abode forge...but ane thing they needed was a tool box for toting their hammers together with punches from abode to other sites. My hubby speedily designed this tool box to gibe their needs.

It's amazing but non patterned. So if yous are looking for inspiration, this is a great house to start. These are a fun pattern for Cub together with Boy Scouts. They are made of elementary pino boards.

There's ane base, 2 long side, ane transcend grip together with 2 smaller sides.

My hubby designed these for their forge together with had them Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation etched from an exterior companionship alongside the forge logo.

Okay, therefore here's the mitt tools used yesteryear my husband, Mike, to brand these boxes. He did all the fine details yesteryear mitt to ensure a precise fit.

He measured together with measured together with measured. He used the ability of math to figure out how much together with where to cutting on each side for the perfect pigeon tails.

He also made 8 boxes, therefore he got actually skillful at making them.

Here's the puzzled border pieces, ready to gibe together.

Dove tails were also reinforced alongside Elmers Wood Glue Max.

Then it is but a thing of plumbing equipment the puzzle pieces together to shape the tool box.

Gluing, plumbing equipment together with gently pounding alongside a white prophylactic mallet...to foreclose cracking.

Because of the precise measurements, the pieces gibe together really snugly together with perfectly.

Fit the small-scale sides to the base, therefore the handle...then gibe the 2 long sides on the base of operations together with small-scale sides.

If yesteryear adventure at that topographic point is a crack, but role the forest mucilage together with mucilage it dorsum together. Looks closely at the grip piece, it has 2 slits cutting inwards it...they are for plumbing equipment the grip inwards snugly inwards but a second. They are crucial.

Next, create total the grip opening alongside forest mucilage together with accept a pino shim ready. Remember those cuts on the handle? Here's where nosotros role them.

Place the perfectly measured wedge shim inwards the grip slits together with hammer gently into the infinite until they gibe tight together with snug.

Repeat for the other side.

Then role a saw together with cutting the shims off around the box side.

Use a grinder to sand downwards whatever stone oil edges...or role sand paper!

Perfection! You tin encounter where the grip was split upwards twice together with filled alongside shims.

Let the mucilage dry out completely. Sand all the edges. It is ready to paint, stain, doodle, forest forcefulness out or torch!

Fun to create total alongside arts and crafts supplies too!

They hold off awesome together with professional...even though they are stone oil together with distressed.

My boy loves blackened wood, therefore he took a torch to his to blacken the edges. Perfect for all his tools.
Sorry I don't accept a pattern, but hopefully it tin hold upwards used every bit wonderful inspiration for your forest tool box project!
