279- Dovetail Toolbox
Nov 01, 2019
This toolbox was built while Loftus was taking a class on fundamentals at Wooden Boat in Maine. He picked the project because it has both half-blind and through-dovetails. Because he lives on a small island and must transport his tools to his shop by boat, the box gets a lot of use. The handle is oak for strength over the long span. “When the box is full of tools, it’s heavy!”
