Building The Tool Chest - Making The Lid

[@sirren9620]

I've got no clue whats going on, but I love listening to your voice just telling me stuff about wood and tools, keep up the good work!

[@Vikingwerk]

I love it! I got an old carpenters chest at an estate sale, and it is a lot of fun to see the way the old time carpenters organized their tools to be right at hand as needed!

[@LJ-jj5vn]

Your videos are always incredibly satisfying to watch. This toolbox looks great. I love how you attached so many things to the lid! Keep up the amazing work!

[@EoinReardon]

Thanks lad!

[@sandwich5643]

I've gotta say, I love seeing the wood shavings multiply around you whenever there's a cut in the video. Wonderful job on both the toolbox and the video. Thank you for continuing to share your work with us

[@paysonsanford5455]

You’re gonna make me pick up this hobby!

[@EoinReardon]

You should 100%

[@LoganLoggingOn]

Yeah go for it! It’s a ton of fun!

[@i8764theKevassitant]

My grandpa got me into woodwork and knowledge of the tools. I'm a welder by trade but wood Is just so elegantly worked and the gratification from a job well done trumps some of even my best metal work. There's just a finesse required and once acquired feels like nothing else. Eoin definitely resparked my desire to do quality stuff in my free time rather than working steel. It's cheaper and more relaxing.

[@ralstain6374]

@@EoinReardon you done already made me pickup this hobby, I love your vids 😊

[@TheMadTatter]

Looking good that, like a proper old craftsman's box from years gone by. Jaysus though she's a beast of a yoke! Only noticed when you took it off the bench with nothing in it, you'll need a team of lads to shift that when its full! Might be worth some castors on the bottom so when you do have it down on the ground you can at least move it around yourself

[@EoinReardon]

I was thinking the same thing. Two handles on either side and I’d say I’ll manage

[@TheMadTatter]

@@EoinReardon you've a younger back than me, thats for sure!

[@Sorry_itz_blade]

Last year I took a 9 week wood working class for school and fell in love with the process! Stumbling upon your page absolutely amazes me with every video! keep up the stunning work

[@W4ABN]

Coming together nicely. Thanks for sharing. I want to get some wood and build a tool chest too. Just need to find the wood to get started.

[@EoinReardon]

Cheers lad, I used the relatively cheap southern yellow pine for this one coming down the line I will make a nicer one from oak

[@W4ABN]

@@EoinReardon thought to do the same. One to get started now then after some time and more experience, maybe I'll get to do something nicer.

[@wrongtown]

@@W4ABN for sure mate, especially if it's your first time building a chest you'll no doubt learn things from the first attempt that'll make your eventual second try even better 👊😁

[@adam_fakes]

great to see all hand tools, and watching a craftsman at work

[@TheSMEAC]

Thanks for all the content recently! My DTC has a fall front as opposed to your doors; yours is the first I’ve seen with them, but I’m certain you can latch yours closed for moving in the same way; using battens slid down the inside front from the top. I built mine taller too, to give me more storage and to be able to position it higher, but I’m not going to be hauling mine all over like you do. The best part is that since I have a leg and tail vise on one side of my bench and a twin screw face vice on the opposite side, I can roll my tool chest to where I’m working in the barn. The ceiling in my shop is only about 82” high since there’s a loft overhead and building a hanging tool cabinet just wasn’t going to do with that. But I’ve got to say the DTC is actually one of the best ‘tools’ I actually have/use and I’m super happy with form and function. Thanks again brother and I look forward to seeing what you get into next 👍

[@EoinReardon]

Cheers lad. Appreciate that comment. Sounds like you have a wonderful setup. If mine was any larger it would be an immovable object unfortunately.

You are so enjoyable to watch and listen to the passion in your voice for your trade. Bud G from Edison, Nebraska USA.

[@paulgush]

Yes, Eoin, get a trailer! When I got a trailer for my sailboat, I felt like I had unlocked a superpower, because now I could move big sheets and planks of wood with my little hatchback

[@jimmytinsley1236]

I love watching your videos you break things down so anyone can learn I wish I could make things out of wood

[@darodes]

Very impressed! Best wishes from the USA!

[@wrongtown]

Ah the Stanley Number 55 and Compass Plane have me envious mate! 🥰

[@edm00se]

Nice work on the chest. If you're without a screwdriver again, you should be able to use the lever cap to loosen or tighten the screw for the iron.

[@wrongtown]

That you should, though I've seen some cheaper planes these days where it doesn't fit! 🙄 Not a problem for our man Eoin though, nothing but the best 😁

[@adam_fakes]

Also I love listing to the coping saw, and the wiggle was cute too :-)

[@EoinReardon]

cant cope with it cant cope without it

[@athmostafa2462]

Love your videos , love hand tools , cheers from Egypt.

[@kkuenzel56]

Yours is one of my new favorite channels! Keep em coming!

[@anthonykp25]

It looks so good!

[@martinlee5581]

Little tip, if you don’t have a screwdriver to loosen the chip breaker and you’re in a pinch you can use the bottom edge of the lever cap. I think this works on most Stanley’s but not sure about other brands

[@EoinReardon]

I’ve seen too many chipped lever caps to ever risk it.

[@whittysworkshop982]

Sizing your lid, if it's anything up to a 10mm il take a plane to it rather than rip it off, same as you did...... with a heavy set foreplane you'd fly through it sure 😁🤙 When I was buyin my hand tools I had to get most of em from England, couldn't find anyone in Ireland with what I wanted...... thankfully it was a while ago now so I didn't have to pay import charges like we do now. I'm enjoyin your videos lad 😁

[@petermason-mz5lp]

You're right, these boxes are really heavy, even before the tools are put in it. Great project.

[@killiandonovan3374]

Absolute legend love your vids

[@EoinReardon]

Cheers lad

[@StueyTheWiz]

Some man for the plain haha love to see it

[@connorkertesz5257]

Darned wonderful, lovin the content and I’m happy to see your work, 10/10 keep it up.

[@kolamostic]

My Irish side is coming out just watching these videos, I'm from England but have heritage in Donegal and Leitrim.

[@Nikicusyes]

Heya i hope you're having a nice day, love the videos.

[@palanquin6789]

we want to see a video about making a trailer workshop! that would be awesome

[@sagopalm279]

Just found yor channel today and I'm instantly a fan. Great stuff man.

[@EoinReardon]

Thanks lad! Enjoy your stay. More to come.

[@kyodreamwalker5378]

Hello from Idaho In the usa! I love watching your videos and love listening and learning from what you love and know a lot about! I love how the chest looks and how you’re able to fit so much into it! Very satisfying and very calming keep up the great work lad! (I have some ancestry in Ireland and most of the Western European countries) :)

Hip Wiggle form seemed adequate (9/10)

[@aliwaye4331]

Great vid mate

[@rodneywatson4532]

You could put removable boxes in side to help with being to heavy

[@epayne]

Who needs post-it notes when you have giant wood shavings 😂❤

[@SkippoSkippo]

Invested now. Love it!

[@coopercummings8370]

Instead of using a blunt chisel, the lever caps on a lot of stanley panes and their clones is the right thickness to turn the chip breaker screw

[@Xycot1c]

Love your videos lad these remind me of my grandad because he did stuff like this and looks like the camera work Is better

[@opeyer924]

What kind of stone do you recommend for sharpening chisels?

[@EoinReardon]

Get yourself a 1000 grit diamond stone.

[@adam_fakes]

Wonderful

[@68able2]

hey man i watch all of ur vids but i dont really know if i can like get you to see this, but i was wondering why you dont use a hot pot and hide glue. titebond is very much way more convenient but i was just wondering

[@57cpdvl]

I need one of those hats to wear while using my old tools… what brand?

[@1988dgs]

9:30, but you did use a cordless screwdriver, just one that doesn’t need a battery

[@Yukiko_Okada]

amazing

[@alessionocera6978]

it's funny how you woodworkers are the exact opposit of car mechanics; using screwdrivers as chisels xD

[@josephabruscati8045]

How do you move that tool chest around?

[@pv175]

He probably has the nicest hair. Toss the hat !!!!

[@rinkle396]

❤

[@RobertGlover-oz2rb]

Use your lever cap as a screwdriver.

[@R3Drover486]

I really underestimate the size of the box

[@virusO1OOOOO1]

*couping saw noises

[@tws1701]

You carry on getting sidetracked, that's why We're watching.
