Time: 2-3 hours

Cost: $75

Skill Level: Beginner

Tools List for Building a Tool Box:
Hand saw
Hammer
Pencil
Combination square
Drill driver with 1” spade bit
Palm sander

Shopping List:
1x5 select pine
1x10 select pine
1” Dowel
Box nails
80-100 grit sandpaper
Wood glue

Steps:
1. To determine the correct length for your tool box, use the longest tool in your tool box as a guide and mark just beyond it on a piece of 1x5 pine.
2. Cut the board on the mark using the hand saw, making sure that your shoulder is perfectly lined up with the edge of the saw to ensure a straight cut.
3. Repeat this process for the other side of the tool box.
4. Cut the ends to desired length using 1x10 pine.
5. The length of the bottom of the tool box should be the length of the sides, plus the thickness of the two ends. Mark and cut the bottom to that dimension.
6. To dress up the ends of the toolbox, cut the tops of each end piece at an angle using the hand saw.
7. Drill holes in the two ends of the tool box using the drill driver to accept the handle. Chose a bit that matches the size of the dowel you have and drill through both end pieces at the same time to ensure the hole is aligned correctly. Drill most of the way through both pieces, but to prevent chipping, flip the boards over and drill from the other side to complete the holes.
8. Sand the edges of all your cuts using the palm sander. Start with the lower grit and work your way up.
9. Assemble the sides, bottom, and ends together using wood glue and box nails.
10. Once the box is assembled, slide the dowel through the holes. Secure it to the box by nailing from the top of each end through the dowel.

Resources:
All the supplies and materials for this project, including 1x5 and 1x10 select pine, hand saws, hammers, and dowels are sold at home centers.

Tom held the box together with Gorilla Wood Glue, which is manufactured by Gorilla Glue ( http://www.gorillatough.com )

After completing the tool box, Tom included some tools that he thought made a good starter tool kit. These included a hand saw, coping saw, tape measure, scribe set, torpedo level, hammer, assorted screwdrivers, chisels, block plane, carpenter’s pencil, ear protection, and eye protection. All of these are available at home centers and hardware stores.

About Generation Next:
This Old House’s Generation NEXT initiative shines a light on the urgent need for young people to enter the building trades and fill the skills gap in America today. “There’s a critical need for people in home construction,” says the This Old House master carpenter Norm Abram. The initiative has involved recruiting apprentices—some with no skills, some with a few years under their tool belts—to work alongside the TOH TV pros.
