Decided to build a few small boxes, to stack on a shelf, to hold extras in the shop,,,like hole saws, screwdrivers, Tap & Die sets....
Also, since some of my fancier planes have their own storage box, wanted to try and make a few that go along with them..so..

Just under 12" long, by just over 5" tall..

By about 6" front to back. Panels for the top of the lid, and bottom of the box are 5mm Luann Plywood. Leftovers from a desk project.
Corner joints are 1/4" finger/box joints, sawn by hand, and chisel out the waste..Plywood sits in 1/4" grooves, done with a Stanley 45...which also allowed me to split off the lid

Handles and other hardware were attached..

Finish is a Stain called "Gunstock", then 2 coats of clear gloss poly...
May add a board on the inside, to store a few items..

My Dad used old coffee cans to store stuff in...Also, will need to add a label holder, so I can tell what is in each box...
