Peruvian Walnut Tool Chest

Overview

Storing the many hand-tools in the woodworker's arsenal can be a challenge. In this episode of DIY Wood Works, host David Marks builds a tool chest for storing hand-tools. The distinctive tool-chest is itself handcrafted from Peruvian walnut and maple, and features classic dovetail joinery -- the strongest type of joinery used in woodworking. The piece also includes solid-brass hardware and book-matched maple panels for the lid. The distinct grain and amber tone of the maple makes for a striking contrast with the dark walnut case.
