High-Tech Tool Chest
This heavy-duty tool chest has lots of handy storage and great organization with an easy-to-build lightweight design.
It seems like every tool chest we’ve ever had was too heavy to move around once it was loaded up with tools. Well, that’s not the case any more. With just a little “high-tech” aluminum riveted to some 1?4" plywood, I was able to build a lightweight chest that was portable and heavy-duty. Then, to keep everything organized, I added removable dividers, a sliding tray, and a pull-out bin. There’s even a small rack inside to provide quick access to often-used tools. And you can arrange these accessories any way you want to suit your needs.

Imperial Plans
The United States Customary System of Units (USCS or USC), more commonly referred to as the English or Imperial system, is the standard set of units for our plans. It uses inches and feet for measurement. This is the one you probably want if you are in the United States, and it is the one we have traditionally offered on this website.
Metric Plans
The International System of Units (SI), more commonly referred to as the metric system, is the alternative set of units that we have available for some of our plans. It uses millimeters, centimeters, and meters for measurement. This is the one you probably want if you are outside the United States. These plans are provided by our business partner, Australian Woodsmith, and are based on the original Woodsmith plan. However, dimensions and other elements of the plan may vary between the metric and standard versions. Be sure to double-check the plan before building.
Premium Plans
All of the information that you need to build our plans can be found in the standard plan. However, if you want even more granular detail to make your job easier, you should consider our premium plans. These come with additional shop diagrams that we drew when creating the prototypes. Shop drawings are not available for every plan.
