Sarah's tool tote is nicer than mine

Sides are dovetailed to the bottom

Yellow cedar was fine grained, but chipped easily

Got to try a couple of new tools.  A dovetail ruler for my square from Sterling Toolworks.
And a super sharp dovetail but chisel from Blue Spruce

Cutting the pins for the bottom.

Handle is a bent lamination.  The laminates were resawn on the bandsaw, but I made them too thick.
The curve was too tight and it was way to hard to get them to bend

Removable top till with sliding lid

Small sliding tool till rides on the dual tool racks on both sides.  Also fits in the bottom as shown

Boxes are nailed together with copper rosehead nails.  Handle is wedged into side with scrap cocobolo.
Now here tools are protected.  The tote acts as a toolbox when at rest.  But remove the top till and she can keep the
tools tidy in whatever project around the house she is working on.  This one is too nice to use in the garden, so I've
been asked to make a "rougher" one for the garden.
