Step-by-step instructions, exploded views, materials list, and more—these plans have everything you need to build this modern classic Antique Toolbox
The inspiration for this box is an old Stanley toolbox. While the design is more than 100 years old, its sturdy construction and practical storage make it ideal for a modern shop. The box has two generous, lidded compartments that can accommodate a wide variety of tools. A sliding tray on one side allows you to store and organize smaller items.
You can purchase the Woodsmith Antique Toolbox standard plan or the supplemental premium shop drawings as a downloadable PDF or in a printed format that we ship to you. We highly recommend purchasing both the standard plan and the supplemental premium shop drawings for more in-depth instructions and greater detail.
