Beautiful, excellent work. I'm going to check out ebay for the plans.

Excellent work! The best small toolbox I've seen yet. I love working with Alder.

Very nice! A fine looking piece of furniture and tool storage, too!

Beautiful work. I love the choice of woods.

Great design, very functional. I could use something like that.

WOW! How long did it take to do the drawers? A project like that could make a swear off drawer making for life!

Good work, interesting wood.

Beautiful! Exceptional work.

I live in a house with 4 women & girls. They were browsing over my shoulder and all thought this cabinet was amazing, but were dumbfounded when they found out it made for tool storage. My wife thinks tool cabinets like these are like hauling lumber in a limousine--you can do it but why would you?

She obviously (even after 19 years) doesn't understand the relationship a woodworker has with his/her tools. No cabinet could be fine enough to house a genuine No.4 Stanley Bedrock, or a new Lie-Nielsen bronze #5.

I aspire to building a tool chest as fine as this. A fitting home for fine craftsman quality tools.

Keep up the excellent work.

I have to agree with the comments of Mahoganaholic. The contest was about using "recycled wood".

"Show a project you created using recycled wood . . ."

re⋅cy⋅cle: to treat or process (used or waste materials) so as to make suitable for reuse

With all due respect to Fine Woodworking staff and contest judges, you lost sight of the primary qualification for entry in this contest. Though the cypress bench is beautiful it doesn't meet the requirements of the contest.
