Tool chest I'm working on

Reply in thread

It is a swedish word for handicrafts. Derrived from an old word for "clever". In woodworking it usually means working with green wood and making everyday items like spoons, spreaders and shrink pots. Often utilising the different properties of wood like bends, shrinkage, etc. I have seen it spelled slojd in English.

Thanks. They are fixed for now. The plan is to put it all in tool chests. A small one thats easy to carry for slöjd stuff, the one I'm building now for carpentry stuff (movable by sack truck), and a large proper "Anarchist's Tool chest" on wheels for furniture tools.
