Nothing dirty about plywood! I see Jeff that you also used particle board in some of the drawer sides. Neat, spacious, well-planned and very practical.
Now all you have to do is to put some cherry or maple veneer over it and tow it into the dinig room to make it a "colonial" tool chest!!!
I made one just like it 45 years ago and I still use it at home. It is a working tool box, not a piece of furniture. It was built for hard use and served me well. Since then, I have made about 6 or 7 more from all different types and thicknesses of veneered plywood, some plain and some fancy but I always went back to my simple 3/4 fir box. I worked as a union carpenter/cabinet-maker for 40 years.That old box has more memories than tools, it is a little heavy though.
Forget veneering it, it would be siding your old house with vinyl.

Great chest.
It is what it is, and for what it is it's perfect.
Awesome hand tool/power tool combo chest
That tool chest is very close to projects i am building. But don`t you have a thick top to put wood screws into?
