Popular Woodworking Magazine has a column entitled “I Can Do That.” They are projects using dimensional lumber from home improvement stores that the beginning woodworker can complete in a weekend. The November, 2011 issue has a simple tool tote pattern. It also has helpful information for the beginning woodworker such as how to most efficiently do a through mortise and how to properly hold a chisel. I use one 1X8X8 board for this tote, and was pleased with how it came out.
