The History of the North Bennet Street Toolbox
For some it is a place to put your tools, but for the students of North Bennet Street School, their toolbox is a badge of honor.

In this video workshop you’ll get a taste of what it’s like at the North Bennet Street School. So sit back, grab a notebook, and learn how to build a toolbox, the North Bennet Street way.

Has FineWoodworking ever done an article / video on how to produce the (for lack of knowing the actual name) 'up and under' door design that the 2nd Teak Tool box has?
Routed runners from the back with dowels to pivot at the front?
This is an outstanding series. I appreciate Mr. Wajda's attention to detail. His communication is clear and concise. I am envious of those who can attend a prestigious institution like the NBSS.
That is a fantastic story of your grandfathers forsight to send that word home and your commitment to use it for something as iconic as your NBS Toolbox. Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you Matt along with all the FWW people who put this together. I learned a lot and really enjoyed the whole series of videos!
