Toy Box

(from Lumberjocks.com)


Son-in law asked me to make a toy box within a few days of my great grand kids birthday. So I set my other projects aside to make this. Used up extra materials I had on hand (didn't have to go out and buy anything for this toy box). 4×4 pine cut to 3×3 rails & stiles, A red oak chest lid I was saving for another project, 3/4” red oak plywood panels to save time (for sides, back and front) and hickory legs. With the three lid supports, the lid can be 1” open to fully open and it will remain open till you push it closed. I surprised myself by having this done in 3 days, including using a waterbased stain on the panels and 3 coats of waterbased poly inside & out. I myself don't like using plywood, but it was the only way to save time to get this done in 3 days.
