Woodsmith Drop-Side Tool Tote Standard Plan & Premium Shop Drawings
Many portable tool boxes take a top-down approach to storing tools. This works fine for storing just a few things. The problem is that the items on the bottom can be hard to find, easily damaged, or forgotten. The tote you see here uses a different method. Instead of access from the top, the sides fold down. This gives you access to all of the contents without having to move tools out of the way. And to keep the tools organized and prevent damage, they’re held securely on simple racks and custom holders. Best of all, you can build this tote in an easy weekend from common materials.
You can purchase the Woodsmith Drop-Side Tool Tote standard plan or the supplemental premium shop drawings as a downloadable PDF or in a printed format that we ship to you. We highly recommend purchasing both the standard plan and the supplemental premium shop drawings for more in-depth instructions and greater detail.
The unique design of this versatile tool carryall gives you easy access to everything inside.
Step-by-step instructions, exploded views, materials list, and more—these plans have everything you need to build your own Drop-Side Tool Tote.
