Tool chest build

#1

Hi all,
I’m almost finished with my tool chest and thought I’d write it up. Pictures in somewhat odd order thanks to discourse mobile.

The design is Christopher Schwartz’s Dutch Tool Chest - I paid a fiver for the issue of Fine Woodworking which had the plans and build detail in it. This was a big project, and had lots of new stuff in it for me - as with everything I do tend to see the errors on it but I’m pleased with how it turned out.

Excellent!

What wood(s) did you use?

Cheers!
The carcasse is 100% pine, with a strip of oak on the lid as something a bit more hardwearing. The inside of the fall front has oak batons on it, with catches made from some upcycled hardwood, and the keys are strips of walnut I happened to have handy.
