Japanese style toolbox
I receive 4 pallets from the street and decided to get some lumber for my new indoor work shop.
My soninlaw plays in a band and carries a bunch of small stuff. So a Japanese tool box it ended up being.
Very simple construction. Butt joints reinforced with bamboo skewers as dowels since the wood is only 9 mm. thick, and glue. The leather straps are bolted in place. I also molded the leather straps somewhat to make for a better handfit.
The box lid slides in from either side and is held in place by friction.
Box size is 20.5 " long 6.5" wide and 5" tall.

Simple is the way to fly sometimes.
Cool box. I could see showing up on stage with that. Everyone wondering what kind of magic emanates from it.
There’s nothing like a homemade toolbox. I ran into a contractor working for a unit owner in a condo I worked at. He had a homemade tool box. Really nice. He showed it to me and I immediately turned to tell the owner, “This guy is serious about attention to detail. You picked a great contractor.” Both of them were very happy about that, but it’s totally true so why not spell it out for the owner?

Great use of pallets and no doubt, a happy son-in-law!
