For some time I have been wanting to make a traditional style toolbox. I'd like it to look like an old toolbox maybe from the 18th century. Like this one: Antique Dovetail Tool Box Filled with Old-fashioned Tools
I started cutting dovetails for the case, but I'm not sure how the skirt is attached to the base, or how to attach the bottom to a toolbox like this, also how to get the frame and panel lid right which also has a little moulding around it. If you can help explain some of the tricks to making a box like this I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
Also where could I find some cool old fashioned hardware for my toolbox?
