I can envision several custom toolboxes. One for small hand tool woodworking projects, one for woodturning, and one for "around the house". Organization is key. Thanks for the inspiration.

The use of a tool tote in a shop is so underrated. Sure tool walls look cool, and for some tools it makes sense, but for small hand tools like this a tote is the way. I think making your own tool box is worth the effort, it’s a lost art and so many people miss the benefits of the not only having one fit specifically to their tools, but also the experience of building it in general. Bravo my man

I liked the video... And I would really like to see a new tool box build!! Hopefully I'm in the majority!! Alright, take it easy my friend!

Shawn, I find insights into what things do and don’t work in various projects very insightful.

I want to make a diagonal hand tool tote with quick action, I saw one on Pinterest that a luthier/box maker built that's like what I was thinking. There doesn't seem to be much on KZread yours was the closest. My goal is for speed and comfort so I'll use it while I'm working, not before and after a job to keep my bench more open when working.

Yes please, a new one would be nice. Maybe a customizable one for garden tools would be awesome!

i like the tour. and a new box would be nice

Please just keep making more content, this was great and I would of course love to see a remake for your newer tool collection.Thanks for sharing Shaun.

I would like to see the chainsaw box. I end up using a small duffel bag for all of the stuff, but would like a well built box.

A toothed plane blade can be used to control the depth of cuts on thin materials such as acoustic guitar soundboards.

Great design. Thanks for video.

The four corner posts also look strong enough to be a small, board rest, similar to a Japanese saw horse.

have a board with the four corners cut out that rests on the handles that lets me use it as a stool or stand when I travel.

Great project, thanks for another great video!

Thanks

Watching you build stuff always a treat

Yes please. I would be really interested in a video of the construction of your tool box. Perhaps a box for wood turning tools.

Enjoy all of your videos. Did not understand some of the explanation of the box especially how the legs were made but no matter, the concept of what you built early on is the point of the video and provides inspiration. Also shows it was not perfect as you were new. Really appreciate all the knowledge you share.

I like toolboxes. My work area has high humidity & steps down so I only store tools there which will not rust and carry tools in. This in a ‘basic’ tool box and other boxes that I fill as need arises of special tools - at the start of working. No going back and forth. My ‘basic’ box is 28 inches long by 9 wide, bearable in one hand & weighing no more than 25 lb / 12 Kilo. This has low sides to avoid over filling. Made of pine & ply to keep weight down. Toolboxes for planes are smaller as they are heavier, so may contain only two or three planes. With any toolbox weight is very important.

Very good! I'm gonna go home tonight and scratch up a version of this for my small house workshop! Thanks for sharing!

Very nice tote! Great to keep tools organized and very portable.

I enjoyed this video. I am a new woodworker and would love to see a small shop tool box build. Thanks for all of the great instructional videos.

I love this video. Yes. Doing this does help. Especially your explanation on how your design and needs changed. That evolution is fascinating. But I do agree, we do not need to see every step. Cutting a dovetail has been done too often. Even just replacing one of the sides, how to select the tools, and determine the layout would be insightful.

Make a jeremy broun toolbox. I think i am going to make one for myself. Interesting design.

I like Japanese style totes. Although I prefer the tool wall thingy. Great share.

Thank you, i contacted you a long time ago after seeing this in a video. You really helped me. I vote yes to an updated design, yes to vids reviewing past projects, and yes to all your content, Bob

Me too, thinking a build video would be excellent. I find it helpful, sure others do too, that your teaching style leaves creative space around the design lessons

1. Great video. 2. Yes. I'd like to see how you go about making a mobile tool box that incorporates your essentials. I've been thinking of making one for my wood work club. My bag is getting too heavy so I want to make something that I can lift out of the boot, wheel over to my work bench and have all my essentials in. And I'm thinking to incorporate a shooting board/bench hook as a lid. Hope that helps. Thank you

Thank you for sharing. It is really great to see how you progressed and how you made it all work.

Yes I do like this style of video! It’s interesting to see how your style has evolved. And please do build another one!!

@@wortheffort of course! I have changed my screen name a few times but I have been around for a long time. Always enjoy your content!

This is something I need to have. I have an 8' x 8' shed for a shop. However I have a paver patio outside of it that I have an outside workbench. So to use that I am constantly carrying tools in and out. Would enjoy seeing an updated build for sure. Thanks for the inspiration.

I enjoyed this tour of the "old stuff," thank you, and would like to see you build a new box.

Another good video! I always enjoy any videos that deal with tool storage, shop organization, etc!

Great video thanks

Love the video. comment to enhance the algorithm

Thanks for sharing. Really like the idea and would love to see a video of you making another one.

I’m an electrician. Woodworking is my hobby and have been watching you for a while now. Actually I’ve been considering making a wooden tool tote customized similar to what you did but for electrical tools. There’s companies out there making them with t fabrics, plastics and now leather. I like the idea you have total customization. This may be off topic. But I would like to make some things like the tops you make to hand out to my customers. So if you can inspire us to to make things to give away that are fairly simple to make to be given away to people not just at Christmas time.

Great vid, thanks. I like the ideas i got from this project

The tool box is a great story as well as being a cool functional design. I like videos like this.

Interesting construction. Simply and functional. Well done. Thanks for sharing

Would like to see you make a version for the Start Woodworking toolkit.

From reading the comments I got the idea of a series of videos. A video on just sorting through tools and pairing down to a concise set for a new box would be great. Deciding based on total weight limit and rounded out set of tools. The center possibly being a pick your planes or flexible area. Maybe needs consideration for what the viewers have but one of every core tool works. Saw, chisel, mark, measure, and surface. Then a video on layout, and one on building? I love the way the tall posts guard the tools stick out. Using the outer box wall as the first piece of the caddy wall is great. I also like how square the footprint is for stability.

Yes please more exploration and an updated tote.

Nice tote. I love that you have dates on the base. Nothing shows how you how far you have progressed than by revisiting an early project. I'd love to see how you would make it now after all your learning/experience.

I'd like to see you build a tool box without a top handle (maybe side handles) the COULD SIT ON YOUR BENCH FOR your most used tools. And yes I like to see your older builds, especially that huge wooden square that you also carved INTO.

Very functional tool box! A few like that seem to be a nice way to compress a lot of tools in a very clever way…if made stackable 😉, like with a short dowel in the top of the four pillars and a shallow hole in each pillar foot. Ten thumbs up!

HAHAHA I would love to have a WALL! My shop is a Harbor Freight car tent.

I love watching your videos, lived watching you make the tool chest you painted with chalk paint too, and would love to see you make another tool box.

Thanks for sharing Shawn and yes, build a new one 👍. Love build videos.

I would love to see the construction of this type of piece. I really like to see you revisit past projects.

What a cool tool tote! It was pretty interesting to see your progression with the other toolboxes you made also--thanks for sharing those with us.

Excellent video as always. It would be great to see more like this. Keep up the good work.

A video building this or something very similar would be nice. I'm kinda lost after getting your corner posts in.

Really enjoyed the content. Reminded me of the first toolbox tote I made. Mine was a longer version. Working as a carpenter doing building maintenance, you alway had to have a variety of tools on hand. Great video.

yes

Build another one.

I would watch the build of a new tote. How is the teardrop coming along?
