4.0 out of 5 stars Great ideas and styles, 28 Jul 2000

By A Customer

A great history of the toolbox with some good ideas. I hoped for some more detail on fitting out options but am still glad I own this book. I review it often for design ideas outside the realm of toolboxes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiration for building beautiful boxes, 10 May 2000

By	hughes.d@bhwg.com (London) - See all my reviews

Contained within the pages of this book is everything to inspire you to have a beautiful container for holding your tools. The history starts from the earliest simple chests to hi-tech tool boxes as used in space. The photographs are very well shot, with the copy being very readable. The toolboxes shown in this book will supply more than enough material for any competent woodworker make their own unique toolbox. One section that is particularly inspiring is about work of the school in Boston. Just because a tool box is very practical it does not mean it cannot be beautiful.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a great book, 4 Jul 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Toolbox Book (Craftsman's Guide to) (Hardcover)

This is a great book, but is for the advanced to professional woodworker.It gives many, many design ideas but little on how to implement them. Implementation of ideas is left to the woodworker, adding to the versatility of this book.
