How Do You Make A Wooden Tool Box?
Many years ago, carpenters carried their tools in a simple wooden tool box. This tool box was easy to carry and offered easy access to the tools inside. Nowadays, tool boxes are much more complex, with drawers and compartments for all types and sizes of tools. But if you’re looking to carry just a few basic tools, a wooden tool box might be what you need. Make the bottom of the tool box by cutting a 1-by-10 inch board 18 1/2 inches in length. Cut two pieces from the 1-by-4 inch board the same length as the bottom to be used for the sides. Cut two pieces of 1-by-10 inch boards 12 inches in length. Measure 4 1/2 inches from the bottom on each side. Make a mark on each side. Then measure 2 and 7/8 inches in from each top corner of the board. Make marks again. Draw a line from the lower mark to the upper mark on each side to make two diagonal lines. Cut along these lines. Drill holes 1 and 5/8 inches from the top in the center of each end piece. Notch both ends of the dowel cut 18 1/2 inch
