Travel Tool Chest & Workbench Build Process

Return to main project page

Following a comment from a woodworking forum regarding the risk of racking when planing on the top....

I think this would stop the risk of racking, but I also think it would be nigh-on impossible for me to make!

Fun to think about though...

Actually, if I did it with half-lap joints, it might be possible to cut (as I could make it after assembling the chest I think). I've no idea whether it would cause problems with wood movement or anything else though?

I am a hobbyist metalworker and woodworker. I work as an electronic design engineer and spend most of my working days in front of a computer so I enjoy having the opportunity to use my hands and make things in my spare time. I particularly enjoy making tools as I can then use them on other projects. This website showcases some of the things I've made.
