Woodsmith Magazine Dovetailed Tool Tote Plans

Step-by-step instructions, exploded views, materials list, and more—these plans have everything you need to build a Dovetailed Tool Tote.

Having a place for your most-used hand tools and supplies makes every project go a little smoother. The tool tote you see here fills the bill. It’s a take-off of a shipwright’s toolbox. There’s not one piece of hardware on it, yet the drawers stay in place as you carry the box around. The secret is a lipped drawer front that nestles into a dado in the tote’s bottom when the drawer is closed. To open the drawer, just lift it slightly and slide it out. It’s an ingenious solution. The case is assembled with dovetails and the drawer boxes are made with halfblind dovetails. But don’t worry — we’ll give you all the tips and tricks you need for great results.

We offer the Woodsmith Dovetailed Tool Tote plan as a downloadable PDF or a printed format that we ship to you.
