Here are the plans for building an easy to construct yet handy to have tool box. I made mine almost 20 years ago, I think as a temporary box, but since it has lasted I have used it continuously ever since. It is the sort to throw your tools in when heading to a job site or to the yard...

The parts are all 3/8 inch plywood with the exception of the ends. I made those with 1/2 plywood for strength and probably because that is what I had on hand. The handle is a 3/4 inch hardwood dowel. If you are using different size plywood, because that is what YOU have on hand, just adjust the dimensions accordingly.

Cut two ends 12 x 14, mark the top, center. Measure two inches centered at the top and then cut down to a mark 6 inches up from the bottom. Drill your 3/4 inch hole through the two ends 1 inch down from the top to the center of the 3/4 inch hole.

Cut all the other pieces in nice rectangles:

• Bottom: 12 x 26
• Two sides 6 x 25 each
• Tray bottom 5 x 25
• two Tray sides 2 1/2 x 25 each
