Wooden Toolbox, Design from Fine Woodworking Magazine Issue #234 Jul/Aug 2013. I changed the material thickness to 1/2" material to save some weight.

Materials

Quilted Maple and Black Walnut

Tools

Shaper Origin, Table Saw, Router Table, Router, Orbital Sander, Drum Sander, Planer, Joiner, Calipers, 1/2" square mortise chisel, lots of clamps and patience.

Instructions

This was a fun and challenging project from the standpoint of routing all the different facets to support the upper shelf, middle shelf and the bottom. My friend in the Sisters Guild challenged me to hand cut the half blind dovetails for the drawers and the bottom. A person could use the Origin for the entire project. I have provided a CAD drawing with all the dimensions.
