It's finally done!!!!

[lbgradwell]

Well, somehow I missed the entire build process on this.

84TurboBuick, my most sincere compliments on an outstanding job! I am a carpenter & I know how much work went into that.

One of your very lucky grandchildren will enjoy showing this to his or her friends some day!

 

[miggs]

That is just out of this world

Well done

Sorry to dig up an old thread but I was wondering if the original poster or someone else could supply me with the part # of the item circled in yellow below? I bought a bunch of used tools recently and have ratchet screwdrivers and all the parts in the box except for the part circled. I'm guessing that the red box is the bits for the kit? Thanks in advance.

Give me a few and I'll look up the Part #...

SDM400A is the part number of the bit kit in that pic.

 

[Abbott]

That looks very nice.

 

[jaysonb]

With a few months under its belt, how is it holding up? It sure looks amazing!

 

[Ditchdigger]

I love this build so much. It reminds folks that the point of tools is not to collect them but what can be done with them.

Get out there with some tools and firewood and make something out of it.

 

[Quik208]

Nice box!!

 

[blue dog]

84turbobuick, i would like to ask you what kind of drawer glides did you use for this build, and what is the weight rating for them? Look like accuride or blum glides. Anyway cheers to your build, looks great and you can say you did it yourself.

The slides are from Dynaglide.... 28" 100lbs ball bearing slides.

I got them here in town for $10 a pair.

So far they still work like a dream... they get smoother the more you use them!

do you have a website link, google results in a harley davidson link

 

[johnny1290]

I hate you sir for many obvious reasons, from your garage to your tools to everything in between.

That box is just gorgous. I thought you refurbed , but you made the thing?!? Nice! Boy, that must have saved you a few bucks from buying a snapon box!!!

The tools inside are just a feast for the eyes. Wow. You didn't collect those overnight.

Very, very nice and an inspiration.

Here is the company I bought them from....

http://www.aetna.org/

Your best bet is just to call... the people were very nice and helpful.

 

[mrholeshot]

That box is incredible!! I'm so glad you shared it. I picked up the casters for mine today and I'm using some 100lb slides I'm ordering through Lowes. the had 2 sets so I had something to actually look at. They were 17.96 per set for 24 inch but those things are super heavy duty. I'll be posting up some photos this weekend as I start my box. I hope my end result will look as nice. It looks as though you are using 12 casters on your box. What kind are they? I bought Cast Iron Casters with rubber over the cast Iron. I'm using 6 5" casters (4 swivel 2 fixed). My casters are rated for 600lbs each. I doubbt I come anywhere close to maxing them out and it won't be moved often except during the build.

 

[woody 73]

Very nice job a very nice toolbox! I liked all the plastic boxes that house all the screwdrivers and other tools.

 

[Drisco Z71]

I know this is kind of an old thread, but wow. Hats off to you sir for inspiring me to maybe, just maybe, give this a try down the road. This has got to be my favorite toolbox I've ever seen.

 

[Steevo]

That is an awesome tool box!

Thanks again to all who gave me a .... I really appriciate all the comments!!

Really old thread. still badass though

 

[Les Brock]

Old thread maybe - But it brings a smile to my face every time I see it !!!!

Awesome Job

 

[4x4gearhead]

That is a HUGE old box! @_@ Love it!

 

[mebuildit]

Wow! Can I have your address and let me know when you go on vacation. I'd like to rummage thru your drawers. ha ha, very very nice work!

 

[twistedchief]

nice looking box how is it holding up

 

[84TurboBuick]

Sorry it took so long to see this....been super busy with work.

The box is still working fine... after 3 winters the drawers all still work perfectly and no cracks!!

 

[Farmall450]

Sorry to bump, but dang!

I think Bull said it best, :hitit:

 

[84TurboBuick]

Well its 4/12 yrs later....wow does time fly.

I still come back now and again to see if anyone has commented on the box and has any questions.

I do have to say that everything still works like the day I finished it, nothing has cracked or bowed. The drawers work perfectly still!!

The one thing that still amazes me about the whole process is I am still waiting for something bad to happen to it.....I feel like "There is no way I the gods of chance have smiled on me this much....I actually did it"

Anyhow, everyone have a great day!!

 

[Rico.]

This thread should come back every few months for the entire life of GJ...

I never get tired of looking at it, and I am still in amazment of how much skill
and dedication some people have... Yes, Mr, Buick... I'm looking at you...

Glad to hear all is well with it...


So what's the next woodworking project....?

New Space Shuttle...
Artificial Brain...

Or is it something that will really challenge you..?

 

[84TurboBuick]

Oh nothing so mundane as a space shuttle.

Time to finish building the bar in the basement and putting in the trim.
