And possibly to learn a lesson in proportion and design .....I built a
fairly decent pine/shellacked tool tote but left out the portable
part.....way too big to pack around inside the house on misc. repairs.....it
does make a very stylish holder for various sandpaper<g>. Rod

Hell, it took me a month to realize Bonehenge was you! I didn't know
you had gone Goth.

Not sure about this new one. Just keep putting BARRY in there
somewhere and we can keep up!

Taking it a bit further-lets substitute thin sheet metal for the sides and
bottom, thus allowing more room for the contents----none of which will have
to do with WOODWORKING---hence the rec.woodworking newsgroup name. I come
here to learn new things-and alot of the time leave with a smile---this
being one of those occassions. hmmmm, perhaps it is a grimace.......<g>

Given the ends are metal, and the side depths low, would you say that a 3/4
bottom and sides of 1/4 finnply would do the job for less tare weight? Nuts
and bolts vs screws of course.

Somehow this approach to a time-honored tool tote seems less
appropriate on a woodworking forum than one might expect.

Small projects like tool totes provide an excellant opportunity to
practice skills and recycle short scraps of materials.

In mind are box joints, loose panels, doweling, biscuit joinery, and
on and on.

Barry,

What's with the change in your screen name? There's *gotta* be a story
behind that!

Did the subject line somehow mislead you, tricking you into reading
the post?

I suggest ignoring any posts on machine repair or wiring, hand plane
fettling, sharpening, dust collection ductwork, etc... You'll be
disappointed by the lack of wood in the actual message.

And in just a couple of days we can expect yet another cool new tool from
