It isn't unusual to find myself working on a project that takes me out of the shop. Whether it's working around the house, helping out friends and family, or just enjoying a nice day outside, 1 need a way to bring my tools along with me. So in this issue, we have a couple of projects that make it easier to get what you need right where you need it.

High-Tech Tool Chest. Woodworkers have been building tool chests for hundreds of years. But a box that's strong enough to house a lot of tools is usually going to be heavy and difficult to move. So the challenge was to come up with a lightweight, sturdy design for our tool chest.

To keep the weight down, we started with V4" plywood panels. Then the panels were riveted to pieces of aluminum angle. Now I know this sounds a bit unusual, but it really works quite well. The aluminum angle provides a rock-solid joinery method and protects the corners of the case as well. For more on building your own high-tech tool chest, check out the article on page 16.

Multi-Purpose Table. Another project you'll want to take a look at is the table on page 36. Here we've packed a small but surprisingly stable worktable in a compact package that's easy to carry outside or throw in the car (or RV) when you travel. Who says you can't take it with you?
