I’ve been watching the Woodwrights shop as long as I can remember and have always been a fan. Spiderman 1967 youtube. I thought it would be fun to try and make the tool tote Roy carries with him during the start of the show. This project interested me mostly because of the joinery and the fact that it is a fixture on the show.
I think his on the show uses box joints but I wanted to try and do with dovetails. I did some research on line to determine the best way to layout and cut the dovetails and did a sample box with some 2x lumber to see how it would work. My sample went pretty well and decided to go ahead. I chose to use Douglas Fir for this project as it is similar in density to white pine but I like the grain a lot better. The ends and handle are 3/4” thick and the sides are finished at 3/8” resawn from a single piece of 4/4 stock. I’d have to say, clamping this sucker for glue-up was almost as challenging as making the dovetails as everything wanted to squirt out of the clamps and ended up making some angled cauls to help with the issue. All in all, this was a fun project to build.
Now that it is done, I’m not sure I’ll put any tools in it but it may end up as a display piece in my house!

Tony- you are talking about the one with the flared sides, correct? I have got those plans, often admired that tote- but never built it as, I figured, it seemed destined to promote a tangled jumble of tools at the bottom. Also-built several including combinations of several from jim tolpins Tool Box Book. One warning- they function better as a 'work station'-actually toting them on a dailey basis is problematic. Personally- i am thinking about one of the Veto bags- never seen one in person- though on-line buddies mention their weight. I don't see how they could weigh nearly as much as a solid wood tote,however. Happy toting, Stephen.
Currently i use a riggers bag with a leather bottom- it's got-oh a couple dozen slots sewn around the outside which gives me a specific place for each chisel,screwdriver etc.-some larger outside poched to stuff similar-un-delicate tools like vice grips, pliers cresent wrenches etc. Large inner compartment for a #5 plane and similarly sized items- but most often used stuff is easily accessible in the outside slots-without having to unroll a tool roll everytime i want a 3/4' chisel.

The Little Tool Box The Woodwright's Workbook: Further Exploration in Traditional Woodcraft By Roy Underhill The Little Tool Box On the road again. The traditional carpenter's tool carrier is a basket carried over the shoulder by means of a stick thrust through its handles.
I do not know when the open wooden tool box came into general use. It appears in several early nineteenth-century photographs, but only rarely in line drawings. Perhaps it is one of those things that is there, but the artist wishes was not. I have put many a mile on my tool box.
It is not old, but one that I made after an example from Dupiin County, North Carolina. I have used it on jobs around the country and have had to rebuild it only once. That was when one of my fellow carpenters fell off of the roof of a privy and landed right on top of it. Fortunately, it was almost empty of tools; so the tool box was hurt more than he was. I have an old manual training book from 1916 entitled Problems in Farm Woodwork.
A tool box (they call it a tool carrier) like mine is one of the first projects in the book. It is made low so that 'it will easily slide under the seat of a buggy.' The angled sides are connected with what the book called 'hopper joints,' after the agricultural fashion. Weight is an important consideration on an item like this. The sides and bottom are half-inch pine; the center handle is of inch-thick stock.
Only one of the sides should flare out if you do a lot of walking. The other face, which is against your leg, is better kept square. If you don't carry your toolbox for long distances, though, flare at will. Make your tool box long enough for your handsaws to fit in it, about 32 inches. The bottom of the box is about 8 inches wide and the sides are 6 inches tall. The angle of the splay on my box is 3 inches in 5; that is, I set the adjustable bevel so that when its body is held flat against one side of a square, the blade of the bevel crosses the 3-inch mark on one arm and the 5-inch mark on the other. Saw the ends of the boards to this angle and then plane their bottom edges to the same angle.

Glue and nail the sides together and then inset the bottom, planing its edges to the appropriate angles for a tight fit. This is the sort of bevel work used so often in boat building.
Fit the center board for the handle last. My handleFit the center board for the handle last. My handle does not reach to the bottom, which is not the normal case. I wanted to save weight and add room, but it really makes things more of a jumble. The handle hole is simply two auger holes with the wood in between chiseled out. Making this handle hole about three times longer than the width of your hand will prove a great timesaver. When the tools are out of balance, you only need to shift your hand position to find harmony with the load you bear.
