That toolbox belongs to Grigg Mullen. I should have said that in the original post. I photographed it at the Guild Rendezvous in Maryland last summer.

I didn't write the dimensions, but I'm sure Grigg would email them if you contact him.

This is the toolbox I put together the night before the timber framing workshop. It has a tray on top for layout tools and small tidbits. The bottom is divided into two sides, saws, and sharps.





The tray



A second toolbox for planes, t-augers and mallets. I didn't have a long enough piece of dowel for the handle, so I fashioned an old axe handle to fit.

Inspired by this thread, here is a pic of a box I just build as a gift for my mom for Easter. I put the green easter grass in it, colored eggs, candy and a chocolate bunny. It's a garden toolbox for her to carry her many hand pruners, potting shovels, and planting knives. It's made entirely of white oak that planed to several different thicknesses(to keep weight down), but it's not completely finished yet. I plan to add Black walnut wedges to pin the handle in place, and some black walnut plugs in the handle support brackets for looks. I will also use a small sanding drum on the top edges of the box and the vertical supports of the box sides to make a scalloped look. I'll stain the scallops dark before finishing the box in linseed oil. Thanks for the inspriation guys! Keep 'em coming.

Thanks for the update Brad. Looks like a real practical design. Walnut would look great w/ that white oak.

As far as those dovetail splines you asked me about on my box, check this jig out (pretty much how I did it):
