Fine Woodworking's Tool Chest Plan

This tool chest is practical, enduring, and simple. Building it with hand tools can be a bridge to an era when woodworkers had an abundance of skill but no power tools. Once you practice the techniques, you'll be more confident with hand tools and eventually may find them indispensable for day-to-day shop tasks. From dovetails to pins and finish options, these plans show you how to build an admirable chest.
