GWL Tool Chest

[CDPeters]

Well, a little late but I'm close to finishing the tool chest for the Good Will Lathe before it moves to it's next home with Rich - eastern_shore. I still need to hinge the top, make handles and put a couple of coats of finish on it. Except for the birch ply, all of the materials - ambrosia maple and spalted maple - are from Chris - srhardwoods.






There are three 1/2 trays on slide rails in the classic joiner's chest style so you can reach any level without removing the trays. The trays are of coarse removable.



The Pinnacle turning chisels are stored in a rack in the bottom:



A little more work tomorrow, sanding and a few coats of shellac and the GWL kit will be ready for transfer to eastern_shores. Just my small way to say thank you to NCWW for having a program like GWL and for allowing me the pleasure of working with it.

What a great chest and an awesome gesture! I have been waiting to see this since you told me about it.
Yet another reason this is the best woodworking forum in the world!

Chris, That is a marvelous addition to the Good Will Lathe and it will make it much easier for future wood turning apprentices to keep track of the tools for the lathe. Thanks on behalf of NCWW!

 

[Mike Davis]

Great idea and equally fine craftsmanship. Thanks for your efforts Chris.

Seems like this GWL is going to need it's own pickup truck soon just to get it from one place to the next. Anyone got one to donate?

Great looking tool chest, Chris.

Chris, excellent work. Turned out really nice, it's always nice to see a finished product from a log I have sawn. now if I could only get in my shop and build something as well.

I look forward to seeing the finish.

That's a wonderful effort on your behalf for the site. Unfortunately, Rich is currently stationed in Texas and won't be home soon, so it looks like you're gonna hafta take that lathe outa the box and make some more round stuff with it for awhile.......

Fantastic!
Thanks for your dedication and great thought as is obvious in the entire piece. Looks like you poured a great deal of time into it.

The recipients of the GWL are now twice as lucky

Very nicely done. Please sign it and maybe put some sort of inscription on it.

 

[Douglas Robinson]

Warms my heart that you thought to pay it back like this! Beautiful work and great gesture!

Chris,
This is such a nice gesture and you are a great asset to NCWW.

Thanks for the kind words everyone! Yes it will be signed, yes with credit to srhardwoods for the material - and I would like to include a list of all the recipients of the GWL over the years, if one exists or could be derived. Kinda a sign it and pass it along kinda thing. Can you tell I'm kinda soft for "preserving heritage"?

Well, gee - I guess I can stall a little more on the finish and make some more round stuff !!!! :banana:.
