re: Tool Chest

I've built several chests over the years, riffing off the Gerstner design for most of them. One thing I will say is that their hardware is great, but it's quite spendy. To buy the handles, corners, lock and drawer pulls will set you back hundreds of dollars.

Here's an example in black Walnut-

Chest Dark_Lightning

And one in QSWO that I used a water-based finish on and am not really happy with it.
