Dimensions of the box

Gary from Toolemera asked me to publish some dimensions of the box.  The carcass is constructed with 3/4" oak, edge glued from narrower pieces.  The box is 32 1/2" tall and 43 1/4" wide when opened.  I've taken some pictures of the drawers and tills so that anyone who wants to copy it can do so.

Drawer detail, front is 1/2" thick, sides and bottom are 3/16"

The left till is 17 1/2" wide.  The swinging gate with hooks is make of 1/2" thick material, 12 1/2" by 12 1/2" square.  

I'm contemplating doing a quick and dirty Sketchup model of the box.  Would any of you like the file, if I do one?

    Are you sure it is oak? The color and the lack of any fleck looks more like chestnut to me. Any thoughts? By the way, great looking tools and a very interesting set of pictures.

    Dan,

    Thanks for your kind words! I suppose it could be chestnut. Actually, that makes sense because of the lack of ray fleck.

    Thanks for looking!

    Zach:

    If you do a Sketchup, I would love one.

    I have been trying to get up the gumption to get going on a tool chest, but have lacked the 'spark' till now!

    Thanks for sharing -
