    Shop Notes Tool Tote in Wormy Maple

    I just finished this tool tote, and the LOML has claimed it as a sewing box. Too small for a jointer anyway!

                  That's what happens when a SHOP project looks that good!

                      That looks great! In fact as Pappy said TOO GOOD!! Did you purchase the hardware or do you have access to a metal shop? Nicely done!!

                          Thank you guys for the compliments. This project is from Shop Notes issue 102, and I made their jig to heat and bend the brass. I purchased the flat stock on the internet. The finish is wipe on poly.

                                  VEEEEERRRRY SMART, calling the sewing box a tool tote so SWMBO wouldn't ask you to make changes to the design.

                                  Great work bty.........
                                  I thought I was wrong, but I was mistaken.

                                              That looks great. The brass work is really impressive. Hard to believe that's
                                              a DIY thing. Cool.
