Thanks for your appreciation Bill.

Sir, You would not believe this but I just got a toolbox at a Market Sale exactly almost but in need of good sanding and paintwork. I am very proud of it and it got sanded today in Australia! Now I work to improve it to your standards it will be fine! Old toolboxes are still a treasure for Oldtimers but Stanley I have and are very compact and nice, lockable too!

I have made this toolbox after several views of this video I am not one to carry my tools from place to place so I wanted to just have a way to organize things. I made mine 30x14x9 inches wide. I set the length by referring to a standard length saw. I installed a till tray in the upper part of the box and that helped me determine the height of 14 inches. I needed to learn how to make box joints and ended up on Ed Stiles' site for a great jig. I built that and used it for a great result. I am now "kitting it out" and having a great deal of fun with it. Thanks for the great video and sharing your design.

Brilliant simple design and answers the problem of accessibility. I'm going to make a series of these so I can stack different tool groups.

I love the simplicity and sheer functional practicality of the design. It's the accessibility of all the tools that appeals. Everything is easily found and returned to it's correct place afterwards, and the idea could be used for tools other than carpentry ones, or adapted to suit your own particular needs. Great design Jeremy

I love how functional this is. I think it's good looking too.

thanks Jeremy, great design, promise you'll get full kudos when i make mine!

Genius, simplicity at it's finest.

Looks like a very practical design. My suggestion to anyone wanting to make one is : make two ! When you're working on site it's very useful to use a pair of these as saw-horses , besides you can carry twice as many tools :-)

I have one that's a different design that my old man got from a friend and I use it a lot when cutting wood as a work surface

This is a nice tool box. I am still looking for that perfect toolbox. The plastic ones become brittle and often have cheap latches. Or they are very expensive, for plastic!

They always feel like they're going to break the second you put something in them I've actually had handle break on me

What an elegant and practical design, I have been looking for a project to get me started in work with wood. I think I may have just found it. Thank you!

love the design simple and actually functional

I agree with the others, great simple design. thank you much sir.

I was looking for a better toolbox design when I came across your Compact Toolbox. I was so impressed I decided to have a go and this is the result. Wood Workers Toolbox Many thanks for putting this up, it was a great project to work on.

What's great about this box is that tools don't rattle around in it. They are secured in specific places.

I was looking for a practical design. This is It. Thanks

Hi mate my name is Robert and I'm going to be teaching wood work to people in my church and l was trying to find a new way so that when I help them thay will have there own tool box thanks for your video it was just what I after for them tar again mate

That is an excellent modern design.

Wow that's great. I'm inspired to make a tool box for my craft tools.

I like that design might build myself one thank you for the vid

Nice design, thanks for sharing

Smart and elegant design

very nice, great concept !

Ingenious design.

Thank you Mr. Broun. When I make this toolbox (two boxes at least) I'll get the hardwood from Amish sawyers who may actually carry the name Miller although I doubt they mill the lumber they sell, the tools will be powered by a strong Scot's wind born in the The South. That's the southern region of the US. and every time someone asks about the boxes or doesn't ask I'll tell them by whom they were designed.

Nice toolbox and good video .

wow...just wow, ill send you picks when I'm done

I might mine a bit bigger. Maybe long enough for a full length panel saw

Very innovative ! 😀

very nice

very cool

I want to make this for my son, How did you make the spring catch?

awesome

Beautiful. Isn't plywood heavier? What's your view on the toxicity of the plywood glue?

Plywood has too many advantages over normal wood and while it might be a little heavier it’ll last longer to impacts and won’t get splits. I think it was more about what he had on hand. The doors being plywood is also dimensionally stable and won’t get stock when it’s swelled in winter. Modern plywood is glued together with resin. A long time ago it had some nasty stuff in it but now it’s inert for anything you’d use it for.

Cool

Are the plans for making this tool box on your DVDs? Regards

Nice design, looks simple enough that even a bodge artist like me could make one. I followed the link back from Alans Woodworking, where the channel owner has produced an upsized variation, with "classic" joints and internal tool trays. Maybe one day I'll aspire to being able to match the ability needed to make the bigger version, but I need to stick to basics first - my woodworking is ... er ... what *IS* the woodworking equivalent of "rusty"?

+Mark Sinden A new e-book with detailed making instructions and plans is now available at: woodomain.wix.com/mediastore#!e-books/c1w5n. Using the correct methodology is essential and size makes no difference to the success of the project. If anything making smaller objects takes more skill as a generalisation.

True - examples being the miniature apprentice pieces of course. In this case, though, the larger version used more complex joints such as dovetails which is why it's a "future" level project. Thanks for the ebook link

Studley would approve this.

I don’t understand the butterfly sprung connection. I have some ideas but I don’t se the opposing socket or anything.

The 'opposing socket' is far more simple and I would encourage you to purchase the plans and build instructions in this online ebook if you would like to build my design: www.woodomain.com/online-store/Video-integrated-Ebooks-c40558215 . Please understand these free videos take an enormous effort and are based on many decades of experience and I need to make some income from my work hence my online store for videos, books and video integrated ebooks.

@@WoodomainJeremyBroun Noticed this comment late. Totally understand that and it is smart of anyone. I am a huge fan of techniques that become the best practice. If there are several ways to accomplish something I like to learn about all of them and be able to recall and apply them. You’re content scratches that itch :)

Cool box, looks quite easy to make.

Not sure how I've missed this for so long, great design. Is this the toolbox you went head to head with Ian Wilkie on in the early days of Good Woodworking magazine?

I remember picking up the first copy with half an interest as a young 20something, I was hooked after that. I learned so much from your series with Ian. I'd like to go back and read John Brown's columns with an older head on my shoulders. I must admit, I feel a bit starstruck conversing with a celebrity from my youth 🙂

@@ianelsley Many thanks, nice to be remembered occasionally. The problem with KZread its very much in the now and Woodworking gurus pop up from nowhere and there is no interest in history. People make instant judgments and sloppy comments without even watching a video through or caring about the background experience of the guy behind the channel. Its a generational thing, but when I was young I respected the leaders in the field and pioneers such as Charlers Hayward who was an author and editor of The Woodworker magazine keeping it afloat during the Second World War.

I even still have the Charles Hayward book that was given away with the first magazine. I agree about KZread, everyone can be an expert, just spend money on power tools and they'll do it for you.
