Now Let’s Start

Making Wooden Toolbox

Step 1:

• Firstly, begin by deciding on a particular size for the wooden toolbox. As a suggestion, try making it a little bigger so that it can accommodate longer tools easily.

• Now ensure that wood for the box has square ends. Use T-square to mark lines about an inch from the end and trim them down with a saw.

Step 2:

• Once done with trimming the wooden squares, measure and begin cutting them.

• Because, the bottom and side of the toolbox will have caps in the ends, you need to cut them a bit longer than other pieces.

Step 3:

• Precisely design the end pieces and cut them. Measure six 1/4′’ to the bottom of 1×10 section and spot it on two banks of the board.

• Connect the mark at 6 ¼’ with the arc and repeat the same for the other side.

Step 4:

• Place the compass on 11” mark and draw a circle at 1 ¼’ mark hole. Cut out this section using a pull saw.

• Drill a hole in the handle using brace and bit. Make sure that that you place the center screw in the midpoint of 11” mark.

Step 5:

• Use a rasp and clean the top of side piece. Remember to repeat the whole thing for the other section and you can use the first one as a stencil.

• Attach the end pieces to the end of the board and screw them tight. 

Step 6:

• Place the edge of side section over the end of bottom plank and screw it accurately. Make sure that you drive screws deep into the surface.

• Use wooden glue to the section and hammer to make the joints stays resilient.

Step 7:

• By now you will have a good frame for the toolbox. Simply add the longer sections between the two the triangular faces.

• Use sand paper and provide proper finish at the ends, especially the handle of the toolbox.
