Old Fashioned Toolboxes For Sale

It's been a couple of years since I've had these in stock, but I was really keen to make and sell them again and manged to get a batch done in time for Christmas (just).



I think a "classic" wooden tool box takes some beating. They look great in a potting shed or greenhouse, handy enough to hold what you need. In fact they're cheap enough to have multiples with different tasks separated up into different toolboxes. 



I build them with reclaimed pine, the sides are rebated into the ends, giving a strong simple joint that is glued and pinned together. The base is then rebated into the bottom and the handle morticed into the sides for extra strength. 

Then I brand them and give them a coat of linseed oil to seal them. 

You can find a link to buy them here

What type of tool box do you like to use?

    1. I seem to find anywhere between 7 and 12 items is the sweet spot for me to make up batches of things depending on how complicated they are to make. Althgouh that said sometimes 2 is more than enough of one thing!
