I cut the drawer fronts and the door for my bench from a single wide board, to take advantage of a very attractive grain pattern. You may have to glue up stock for this process. Cut the faces (pieces 46 and 47) to size, and then shape their front edges on the router table with a chamfering bit (see the elevation drawings for dimensions).

You can now return to the door and finish machining it. The grain pattern on the door (piece 26) ran horizontally. To prevent cupping, I plowed three dadoes from top to bottom in its back and glued in three stiffeners (pieces 27). After sanding, I chamfered the door’s front edges to match the look of the drawer faces.

European-style hinges with a ¼" overlay (pieces 28) are completely hidden when the door is closed. Follow the included instructions for mounting these hinges.

On your band saw, shape the walnut toolbox trimmers (pieces 29) to the profile shown in the pattern drawing on page 15, and then sand them smooth. Screw one to the legs at each end of the toolbox top, to stop tools from falling off the shelf. Finally, chamfer the top and bottom edges of the feet, and screw them to the bottoms of the legs.
