If you're like me, your hand tools are lying all over your shop and you can never find a tool when you need it. In this class we're going to help you fix that by using hand tools to make your hand tools a home. We will be building a classic Dutch tool chest. The chest is modeled after the Dutch Tool Chest by Christopher Schwartz. The chest will be made from Poplar and will include carrying handles, hinged lid. A variety of joints including dovetails, miters, dados, etc..., will be used in the construction of the chest. This is a solid chest, meant to last a lifetime and beyond.
