Fantasy Tool Box - part 3 - Derek Cohen - 07-14-2025

A few more progress shots.


Ring handles have been added along a shoulder strap. This one is temporary. A nice leather one has been ordered.

The inside lid is now complete. In addition to the shopmade dovetail and crosscut joinery saws, and the customised Knew Concept fret saw, there is a Nakaya mini dozuki (150mm plate, 0.20mm thick). I added a custom handle in Sheoak. This is a superb saw for very fine cuts, such as dovetailed mitres.

The dozuki is supported by a swivel clasp and held with a rare earth magnet at the toe ...

There are two steel rules: a 150mm/6" and a 300mm/12" from a Starrett combination square. The head for the square is in one of the boxes in the top layer.

In the right corner of the lid are two dovetail templates, 1:6 and 1:7. These are the ratios I prefer to use.

And, lastly, the top row of boxes, with shopmade chisels, angle squares, and shopmade marking tools ...

Wonderful tool chest for a traveling woodworker.

Very nice and compact too.  Well done buddy

Thanks Tapper, Mark and Arlin!

At the moment it weighs 10 kg, and that includes sharpening gear, screwdriver bits, two marking gauges, and a wooden block plane in the lower section.

The next step is building planes.

I will be watching for it.

Love seeing your projects, Derek! I wonder how many woodworkers waste time trying to find tools because their workshop is disorganized. Your tools are organized and the storage for them is visually appealing as well.
