Default Wooden toolbox/chest plans

Tue, Oct 31, 2006, 8:38pm (EST-3) (onoahimahi)
doth sayeth:
snip Then Rockler had a sale on their Gerstner International (read
made in China) chests and I bought one for $100. I thought about how
many projects I had time for and the number of projects in the queue and
decided to buy the Gerstner International box instead of build one.
snip I found an old one on Ebay for $300 snip

If you'd shopped around you could have found one for less than
$100. I can see wanting an original, but buying a cheap, and
inexpensive, Chinese knock-off seems to kinda negate being a woodworker,
and blowing $100 + shipping. You could always have made your own, a
little at a time, wouldn't have needed to finish it all at once. Or,
you could even have bought a new one.
