Bigger tool box

I needed a bigger box to fit my 2" chisel.. so I started on making one, Dutch style, all with scrap timber.

3 draws to fit as yet, and make storage tills for saws & planes etc in the top section, probably never lift it when its full, not pretty but functional.

It fits..

Screwed, not nailed, but there are dovetails on the base to sides.
Yes there is a front knob on the plane as I struggle with grip so it helps (sorry)

Update, now getting filled, it is heavy so I've put some wheels on it and made a ramp to be able to get it in and out the van, need to figure a better way of holding it in place when on the move.

Its working well as I I've condensed 3 separate boxes into one (trouble is I still have several boxes on the go)
