    Rolling shop cart

    I,ve been a huge fan of wooden shop carts and toolboxes. Most of the guys a I work with have Kennedy's but the two guys from England have beautiful wooden toolboxes. So I decided for my weekend projects I would build my own.
    First came the rolling cart, built with the many hardwood scraps that I mustered up, mahagony for the corners and oak on top. http://www.cnczone.com/forums/attach...1&d=1187416629

    An open mind is a virtue...so long as all the common sense has not leaked out.

    Photoshop !

    Nah just joking ya, I had a hell of time building it. I forgot the correct way to route the drawers and I also messed up and worked on it after a rough nite out and had to scrap a piece and recut and redesign. Hangovers and woodworking don,t mix.
