This project is based on the School Box described in the fictional novel "The Joiner and the Cabinetmaker" (available from Lost Art Press). Plans are available from Popular Woodworking Magazine. This was a hand tool build and a lot of fun. It's a small but very useful tool chest built in a traditional English tool chest style.

This project can be made with only hand tools, and only a few of them at that. A couple saws, a jack plane, a hammer, and a couple chisels is really all that's needed.
