Above is the full video of our Q&A about Dutch tool chests. WARNING: I made a couple double-entendres during Megan’s demo portion of the video. Apologies – I thought this was Chest Chat™.

I appreciate you posting this. When I try to watch it on here or on Vimeo, the slider navigation bar is disabled, so I will have to let it run for 50 minutes before the content begins (I assume). I wonder what the problem is?
Or did I completely misunderstand and this is the livestream? Whoops.
Thanks for the video! Here’s a link to the PW readers’ tool chests that Megan mentioned:

Thanks!
Thanks from those in the Antipodes where the livestream was early in the morning.
Excellent! This presentation was so good that it makes me want to drive from Toronto in the middle of December to visit during your open house!
Thanks for doing the Livestream today! Educational and entertaining, as usual. Looking forward to the DTC book.
Excellent livestream. Thanks so much.
Thank you for posting this. I didn’t get far into the video before I stopped though; I’m deaf and couldn’t hear Chris at all, and there was no toggle for enabling captions 😞
I built my first DTC after watching Chris and Roy make one on the woodwright shop. I have now made 4 and about to make another one. They are great for student chest. Thanks for posting this I enjoyed watching.
Thanks for the video. Enjoyable to watch. Glad to hear I’m not the only one who constantly cuts myself on the Veritas skew rebate plane.
43:30 – Should’ve clamped that between the dogs on the Ulmia bench. No racking and would’ve avoided those unsightly marks on the face from the holdfasts 🙂
Save the Ulmia – it deserves a future !
The awkwardness there was because we had the chest covering the planing stop when we began shooting. Normally we rabbet against the planing stop with a doe’s foot. With no problem.
Improvising live on the web is never pretty.
I don’t like rabbeting at chest level, so no thanks.
Great video. I built my dtc I’m the early days if lockdown. The video and forthcoming book Almost makes me want to build another one…. I probably will so my kids will have one for their tools.
I am a belgian woodworker, and here longer wooden joiner planes are very common (80cm/32 inches or so) and I’m looking around to get one, and to build a chest long enough to fit it in. You said the DTC lost a lot of its interest when it gets too long since it can’t be lifted as easily, but as a beginner, I’m still interested in the faster and easier construction of the DTC
Would you suggest a long DTC or a more ATC sized chest with simpler construction (nailed rabbets or something like that).
Mauve I’m just dense but are the original PW article and the plans for the Dutch tool chest available online somewhere? Seems like the links from various articles, even to purchase, are all broken.
That’s a question for the editors at PW, I’m afraid. (But there is a plan/article in the new Tools & Shops issue of FWW)
I’m enjoying your FW article and looking forward to the book!
Nice and sturdy tool chests! You’ve made plenty of space and compartments for easy storage as well. Loved the quality of the wood and woodworks. Kudos to your excellent workmanship!
Y’all cracked me up the whole way through. (Trail of Smears!) Like Meg, i’m a little under the weather and needed a few laughs. Looking forward to your book and building my own DTC. Thanks!
