Sheet Metal Toolbox - Full Project

[@dennycjr]

I made one of these in high school metal shop, I'm now 56 years old and still have it and use it. Ours also had a removable storage tray, also everything was hand riveted no cheap spot welding or pop rivets. But I still liked your video it brought back great memories . 😁👍

[@InsaneOil]

Thanks for the comment. I have come across a few different iterations over the years. This toolbox was definitely build a bit more robust back in the day.

[@warrenmichael918]

im 48 and i still have mine in my garage too. Made it my 9th grade year in shop class. I also still have my little 2 gun wall hung gun rack with bottom drawer i made in 8th grade.

[@InsaneOil]

@@warrenmichael918 That's awesome that you still have yours.

[@warrenmichael918]

@@InsaneOil I dont use it and its pretty banged up with a few coats of chipped and worn out paint but its in the shed with a few very old tools my grandpa used to use. The gun rack is hanging on the wall with my old BB gun that i had as a kid. Nothing fancy just a daisy .177 pellet pump , still works but not very good, kinda like its owner! LOL

@@InsaneOilWhat gauge is the sheet metal in this video?

[@petem6291]

You do nice work you are a great instructor . There was a very Similar project when I went to aviation school ( Air Frame ) in 1982 I still have the tool box it rides around in my old truck .

[@InsaneOil]

Thanks for the comments. I took a basic metals class in college and built one of these (still use it today). I thought I would bring it back for my current students.

Wow this is crazy. Like the old-school toolboxes. 👍🔧

J C Sain of Missoula Montana (not sure if I spelled his last name correctly) if you are seeing this I still have your toolbox. Left in my shop here in the Seattle area when you were working on your Jeep. Been trying to get it back to you but have no idea where to look for ya. So J.C. told me he made his toolbox as a shop project in high school. He was our GM for a regular D&D game we played on Friday nights. He also ran a Battle Tech game and had an aquarium with a badass trigger fish in it. The toolbox I have looks pretty much like this one and so I figured if he watched this video he may see this message.

[@tonyennis1787]

I inherited a sheet metal toolbox from my uncle. I don't know where he got it, I think from his step-father. So I wouldn't be surprised if it is as about as old as galvanized sheet metal can be. The quality is excellent and there isn't a sharp edge on it. There aren't any welds in it; it's all riveted.

[@OldSkoolF]

We built these in 10th grade at Hamburg Highschool with Mr. Myers in sheet metal production class... He had one of those super thick shoes..

[@InsaneOil]

Highschool shop class...good times.

Great little toolbox where can I find the top handle on Amazon ?

[@InsaneOil]

I would always buy my hardware from IASCO www.iasco-tesco.com/ I am sure there are other places also.

[@felipea.penag.6457]

Excellent video, your video also serves as a reference for me to give audiovidaul help to students. thanks for your contribution. I'm just curious, why place lateral faces, and not make a complete drawer in a single sheet, I would like to know your reasons?

[@InsaneOil]

I was just following a set of plans that I acquired.

[@AbdulKadir-ws3eu]

Best tool box

[@karimhacen7795]

Verry good job 🙆🙆🙌

[@InsaneOil]

Thanks for the comment. Much appreciated.

[@ThisIsToolman]

This old box brake is a neat piece of equipment but essentially nobody’s got one. You need to show how this is done with angle, clamps, and a hammer.

[@InsaneOil]

Agreed. Not a common tool for the average person's garage.

[@astrophilecynic9990]

nice vid

[@Jbargnani94]

I’m really confused on how to make the top. I guess I’m not understanding the length, like 2.125 inches on the ruler.

[@InsaneOil]

2.125 inches = 2 1/8"

[@keckwreck]

Good project, what gauge metal are you using?

[@InsaneOil]

I think it was around 22 gauge.

Nice sir

[@user-wh9ic3nc6z]

Where do you get the accessories? Corners, hinge, latch etc. Link for those? This would be a great project for my high school classroom

[@InsaneOil]

I purchase all hardware from IASCO. www.iasco-tesco.com/

[@InsaneOil]

The site/company seems a little shady at first glance but it has been around for a long time and caters primarily to schools.

[@geobrown9413]

What?? you still have shop classes? Where are you...lucky students.

[@PostalPatriot556]

Why do you mark with dashes? I use a straight edge and a scribe and I scratch it in.

[@InsaneOil]

Dashes are easier to show when you are demonstrating to a classroom with 24 students.

[@DrSlick]

How do you bend sheet metal to make your sides so even?

[@InsaneOil]

Good layout techniques and the use of a box and pan brake, as shown in the video.

[@gege8123]

Where did you get that handle? Haven't seen them anywhere.

[@InsaneOil]

I ordered all my parts from IASCO. www.iasco-tesco.com/

[@TejasNesarikar]

sir... what is thickness of this sheet and bend radius??

[@InsaneOil]

I believe the sheet metal was 22 gauge.

What gage metal are you using?

[@InsaneOil]

I think it was 22 gauge that I used.

[@benjoseph260]

@@InsaneOil Thanks. I’ve made this with 22 and 24 gage and prefer 24. But, I’ve also reduced width to 11 inches overall as I have convenient access to 12x12 square sheets. One thing I have found is that the top needs to be measured for proper length of hinge edge. Most of the time that edge is 2.0 inches instead of 2.125. This makes the top square up easier with the sides.

[@InsaneOil]

@@benjoseph260 Great tips. Thanks for sharing. A skilled craftsman can modify a plan to fit their application.

I’ll never understand imperial measurements and how you guys still use them, metric makes so much more sense. good job tho

[@InsaneOil]

I would same the same thing about metric. It's just like learning a new language.

[@DM-zs8go]

I would be willing to switch but my biggest issue is metric doesn’t have aa unit equivalent to a foot/ft, it is incredibly annoying for eye balling measurements, also my work boots are about 12 inches heal to toe so I can use my feet for rough measurements lol.

[@InsaneOil]

@@DM-zs8go Shoot me an e-mail land I'll send you a printable paper ruler. [e-mail]

[@danielboughton3624]

If you don't understand imperial measurements how can you be sure? People get all puffed up about metric but really it is a 10ths system and then the only things that go into it evenly are 1,2,5, and 10. Of course when you get to smaller measurements machinists have been using a 10ths system for inches for hundreds of years so no difference there. The win with imperial is you need to take a fraction of something - say divide some distance into some equal sections. It is easier to do this with fractions so 1/2 of 1/16th is 1/32 and 1/4 of 1/2 is 1/8th because you just multiply the denominator. Now try that with metric - what is 1/8th of a cm? Suddenly you are back in the fun land of fractions but your tape measure can't help in as many ways. The other issue as some have noted is that many measurements e.g. a foot just happen to be the size of their foot. A fathom is a typical arm span and so on. When you cross the machinist/carpenter bridge is where you have problems because then you get to remember things like 1/8" is .125 but hey, keeps your brain working well. I can estimate things in my head faster than most anyone can get an answer from a calculator.

[@tonyennis1787]

play this as 1.25 or 1.5 speed.

[@InsaneOil]

Or play it at 0.5 speed.
