Watch Jimmy build a classic wood toolbox using reclaimed white oak. There are some great woodworking techniques demonstrated in this project, including how to make box joints, how to make a lap joint panel, how to install butt hinges, tips for driving brass screws, and how to install some interesting lid support and catch hardware.
