Toolbox
Art Caddy
Finally a project to help organize all the cool tools you’re starting to
collect, or as my daughter decided, all those art supplies that are piling
up. This toolbox/art caddy can be made from one single 1”x6”x8’ piece
of pine. All the pieces are 5 ½” in width which means there is no
ripping; only cutting to the appropriate length.
Here are the dimensions we used for the toolbox and the art caddy. Both
projects are the same except for the shape of the side pieces:
(2) Ends- ¾”x 5 ½”x 11”
(2) Sides- ¾”x 5 ½”x 21”
(1) Bottom- ¾”x 5 ½”x 19 ½”
Step 1
Using your crosscut box, cut the pieces to length.
Again, after you cut a piece off, measure the next
piece again to make sure that your length will be
correct.
Step 2
After all your pieces are cut to length make sure
you label them with chalk to avoid any mix-ups
later.
