Dovetail Box for Lee Valley large Router Hand Plane
I made this box with all hand tools.
There's plenty of room for bit storage and placing the plane.

working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.
Hey Pottz ... great minds think alike! LOL.
Well now, that's very nice! I've tools in their plastic shipping cases that I'd like to upgrade. Took the jigsaw out of its plastic shipping/storage container awhile back and busted a thumbnail off all the way into the quick with the cheesy latch.

Ouch!.... that had to hurt! Upgrade is definitely a must.
plastic cases ! whatever happened to nice metal ones. hell now they give you a canvas bag ! a box like ricks is the way to go for a good quality tool.

Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".
Thanks Ryan!

I don't think so Pottz.... do they have dovetailed corners?! 😉 lol.
Nice work on the box but I'm even more impressed with the overall collection!
I don't think that's his, Pottz. Can you read if it has TOP SECRET stamped on it? Hmm. No colored font capability here.

MrRick, great looking box, fantastic dovetails, great mix of woods, and all this by hand tool woodworking. That is what makes this a fun and relaxing project. Shows artisan capabilities and a desire to create.

Steve.... and that's only in one cupboard! Ha ha! I keep all my planes in boxes and found it almost eliminates rust. Some I even put silica gel packs in them. Thanks.
