Build A Swedish Tool Chest with Whitney Miller
We've long been fascinated with the Swedish tool chest form. Roy Underhill had one at The Woodwright's Shop, and Chris got a close look at one in Sweden that belongs to Johan Lyrfalk, and came down through his family. It's similar to a Dutch chest with its slanting front lid, but the Swedish one is in some ways simpler. And it's larger - at least our version is - it's not a chest for travel.
The video - which stars and is edited by television professional and do-it-yourself maven Whitney Miller - shows you step by step how to build this Swedish chest - and her joy in making it comes through on screen. (Which is to say she a lot of fun to watch, beyond the woodworking instruction!)
The Swedish chest is assembled with through-dovetails at the corners. The top and bottom are screwed to the carcase. The interior of the chest is fairly open and offers plenty of room for planes and larger tools on the floor. There are three drawers, assembled with rabbets and nails, that will hold your smaller tools and shop sundries. The drawer frame and dividers are assembled with screws, then nailed in place through the outside of the chest, as in our inspiration piece.
The interior walls of the chest are lined with tool racks, and there are saw racks on the lid. The rack layout is easy to adjust to suit your own storage needs.
We built it in cherry, because we couldn't resist the call of the wide cherry boards at the lumberyard that day. The inspiration chest was painted, and probably made from pine.
The build is an excellent primer on through-dovetails and simple drawer construction - and when you're done, you'll have a handsome chest in which to store your tools.
Dimensions are: 32-1/2” wide, 18-1/2” high and 19-3/4” deep. The top is 8-1/2” wide, the drop lid is 13-1/2 wide. Most of the stock for the carcase is 7/8” thick.
The entire video is just more than an hour - tightly edited to be compact but filled with good information that's fun to watch. It's an excellent video for beginning woodworkers, with just the information you need.
You also get downloadable PDFs with plans and a cutlist, as well as information on using "marriage marks" for layout, and applying our favorite non-toxic soft-wax finish.
The video can be watched one of two ways. You can stream it (after logging into your account here at Lost Art Press). Or you can download the video and put it on any device. The video is offered without DRM (digital rights management), so the files will be easily moved to any of your devices, now and in the future.

Poor bird... 😂
My version of the chest. Daughter bought your book and I enjoyed it very much. I did modify my chest (which you may object to) czcams.com/video/HOWfU2speNw/video.htmlsi=_m4FsaRrGthtvObv
I completely disagree with Don. He should sell his old shirts on his website. It is l' essence du Don within his old t-shirts that makes the wax buff up so nicely.
Wow! Very nice!
Thanks for sharing. It's a beautiful and functional plane.
Just wear the skirt
Really nice
У него есть изготовленный метчик по заказу для нарезания резьбы с мощным хвостовиком, позволяющим прикладывать усилие без поломки. С помощью этого метчика он нарезал несколько направляющих витков на одном конце нейлоновой втулки. Другой конец втулки имеет диаметр без резьбы, достаточный для того, чтобы в него можно было вставить штифт для фрезы. Опилки разлетаются только при контакте с фрезой. Концы штифта имеют фаску или конусность, позволяющие фрезе входить в отверстие. Эта фреза устанавливается на диаметр начала винта. Он вручную подает штифт, срезает часть ведущей резьбы и позволяет войти в зацепление с частью резьбовой втулки. Подача не может быть продвинута, так как зацеплена за направляющую резьбу и пока фреза не сделает свою работу. Рука только стабилизирует подачу и предотвращает обратное давление. Поэтому такую подачу можно назвать "тактильной". Как при езде на велосипеде, который в неподвижном состоянии не устойчив, как 3/4 колеса! Можно догадаться, почему втулка сделана из нейлона.
Beautiful piece, but imagine being the 17th century rube that had to carry that around on behalf of the sire off on deployment lol.
Can this be done on stained wood?
Genius
What book do you sell has the plans for this?
What is the artist & song name being played?
You have a long way to go before you can sharpen a chisel properly Mary ...try watching PAUL SELLERS in the UK...keep practicing 😘
Unless you have perfectly consistent thicknesses board already, this is far faster than using a table saw for I would imagine up to like 5-6 work pieces. A lot less painful on the ears and lungs too. Definitely more enjoyable.
that pig sticker, is a gem !
It was nice to see a couple icons in there too Chris!!!
Been looking into shipwright tool chests and this looks just about the right size.
The Wetterling's axe looks exactly similar to Gransfors Bruk 1900 Broad Axe.
I put a pair of one inch aluminum angles, one eight thick in my machinist vise and works good.
Ah. As all the best ones are, Underhill is a shameless and unrepentant punster.
For music, how about the Miami Vise (sic) theme song.
I just ACCIDENTALLY found these few videos and they look pretty amazing!! I would ALSO guess this particular video would NOT be for a beginner……..WELL!! Unless you have a few helpers that has the DNA of Mighty Mouse OR Superman OR BOTH!! he he he!! I’ll be back. Thanks for what all you all do!!
I really like the part where I could see what they were doing
this didn't tell us much. at least credit the musician.
How do you retract the blades to register different shavings? Regards Brian
Usually you would; loosen the cap, retract with your fingers (id suggest having the plane on a flat wooden surfacr for the iron to fall to), snug it up, then methodically adjust with a hammer.
Are Woodriver plane’s considered premium? Just curious if it requires more set up out of the box compared to LN or Veritas planes.
I hv read that Wood River planes are middle of the road. Good quality, but not top of the line.
Good
Would holding the cross in place with pins at the bottom instead of near the top right below the screw change the way the pressure is distributed? I was thinking of making one out of wood with 3/4 dowels as the 3 pins but I don’t want to blow out the middle or ends of my 2 cross boards.
no leather/felt writing top?
При такой "аэродинамической" форме подошвы струг неизбежно будет болтаться в поперечных направлениях. Для корректной работы на подошве должны быть направляющие желобки!

Como adquirir um ?

Dammit, I used a can of tomato soup ! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!!!
Awsome video, I need to take that class.
Beautiful recessed brass hardware and then that absolutely atrocious and completely out of place hasp and lock, this video is not off to a good start...
He makes it look difficult! Much easier to do it the normal way; draw the circle at each end and then strike four 45º lines with a bevel or combi square, as a tangents to the circle
I would like to get plans fir this chest are they available for purchase?
Ditto. I am making a lower case right now but dont understand how Chris accesses the wooden key to open the fall front. Does he have to remove the top case each time for this?
Good content no frills and to the point. First time seeing this video. Wished I would have seen it when it came out would have saved some frustration.
The book is brilliant and I imagine the DVD is equally so.
Probably the best explanation!
show us what inside of the white plastic tube pls
I like this but I stone due to m not having an amazing vice
I💓Mafell 👍
thanks
I have this reamer but can't get the thing to work! Feels like it just rubs rather than cuts the wood. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong??
Interesting that he doesn't use a back iron. Yet the old Norris planes all had one. Is there something we've all been missing?
Nice to know the Plane was borrowed , he should of charged lie Nelsen for the advertising.
