patterned after the No. 888 that Stanley sold back in the 1920s. One needs a place to carry all their tools, right?

Since I only had enough Walnut on hand for the dust seals, the rest came from Menards' cut-offs bin. :eek:

Hand sawn dovetails, seem to look a bit better that just nailed up rebate joints on the corners? It has a fancy latch on each end, to keep the lids securely closed...lids?:confused:

Yep, one lid on each side. they both open up like this. Size of the box? 21" long overall, by 11" at the base, by 8-3/4" tall. It has a single, metal handle at the "peak" of the top, right in the center. Working on adding tool holders for the insides. These things carried a lot of Stanley Tool products, back in the day.

Just a sample. Some of these held three times this amount...:eek:
Took about a week or so to build the box...
