Tool Rack. A handy accessory for the chest is a small tool rack (inset photo). Putting it together is easy. As Figure 9 shows, The rack consists of a set of spacers sandwiched between two small panels. I built mine to hold a set of chisels, but by varying the widths and thickness of the spacers, you can store screwdrivers, wrenches, pliers, and even measuring tools, like a combination square. Tray. Another storage option for the chest is the sliding tray in Figure 10. It's nothing more than a rectangular box with a hardboard bottom and cutouts for handles. There are a couple of things to mention about building the tray. To create a strong, sturdy box, I used tongue and dado joinery. And to add even more strength to the tray, I glued support blocks in the comers (Figure 10a). The tray bottom fits in grooves cut into the tray's sides, front, and back, as you can see in Figure 10b. Once the tray is assembled, it will rest on runners attached to two of the dividers (Figure 8). This way, the tray can be slid back and forth in the chest as needed. Pull-Out Bin. Now, you may want to build several of the trays just described. Why? Because the pull-out bin in Figure 11 can hold up to three additional trays. TOP VIEW FRONT VIEW Since those trays can hold a lot of tools and hardware, the bin is built a little beefier than the other accessories. The top, bottom, and sides are cut from ty-thick stock. The tongue and dado joinery is reinforced with screws (Figure lib). But to keep the bin lightweight, the two shelves are V4" thick and fit into dadoes. And, to keep the trays from sliding out, there's a hardboard lip on both edges of each shelf (Figure 11a). To remove a tray, simply lift it over the lip and pull it out. So, as you can see, the chest offers plenty of storage. And adding these accessories will make it more organized and easily accessible.
