Well my tool box is almost done, weighs more than I wanted but its manageable. It's a bit dusty as I've been working on a new project but here's a walk round.

The bottom draw is for all my drill bits, I like to find things quickly so everything has been split up.

The nex...

My old Eurbeur mitre saw has died, had this saw for 8 years it’s been a really useful tool, it’s been banged about in the back of the car, the guard broke off, the laser pointed in the wrong direction, the extendable table fell apart, but for all these problems it’s al...

This was a old coffee table, damaged and ready to throw away. I picked it up for a few quid and now it’s a lamp stand

This Ash is beautiful, 2 hours of work on this so far planing and now a bit of sanding, I cant believe how stunning this wood is.

The picture only does this 50% justice, this is one very enjoyable project

As this comes along I'll keep updating

This year I must try harder, I do more wood and metalwork now, I build things for customers, it started because I could...

While I've been building my tool box, I've also been making other things. I wanted a box for my notebook and iPad plus other bits, so with a bit of research I came up with this. Made from pine and white oak.

Not done yet just sharing, #woodworking is becoming a passion.

After a few months of trying to get this finished, I'm almost there, it's a bit bigger than I first expected, as I tend not to do drawings I normally make what's in my head. I find this more exciting, enjoyable plus it means more time #woodworking than drawing. 

For the past year I’ve been using a wood tool tote, but to be honest never really happy with it. Recently I released that when ever I leave my car unattended all my tools are on show, so I’ve decided to make a new tool box. 

Making it from pine and all by hand with no p...
