The picture caught my eye immediately as a combination trunk and toy box for our grandson. After studying the plans for an hour or so, I was ready to get to work. Paying close attention to instructions is sooooo important to properly build anything and this is no exception. The instructions are simple, to the point and thorough. I followed each detail and it really looks good and is strong enough (I used solid Oak with dark cherry for the bands and plugs) to last for years beyond the "Toy Box" age. Great plans and a good deal from Rockler. Thanks!

I too used biscuits instead of the corner and lid splines. The measurements were all correct, just make sure you make all length cuts at the same time so all stays square and fits correctly. I made the tray a shadow box for a friend's retirement after 24 years in the Navy.

Started as a blanket chest less the shelf, when two granddaughters arrived ended up being a toy box. Excellent plans and project. Note leather in place of walnut to resemble belts as used in the late 1800's. Also note dollar coin of completion year as a signature.

Excellent plans and hardware. However - just a tip: The metal corner caps, in order to fit properly, require that the wood corners beneath the caps are rounded over. The plans do not specify this. It's not a problem - just keep it in mind before installing the hardware.

I was very impressed at the detail and recommendations for hardware. The templates were very useful, and appreciated. I would as always say any woodworker will make his/her own adjustments to the plan to make it their own, but would also recommend this plan to a novice as it is very understandable and do-able no matter what your experience. Its a great project one that you can hand down for generations!

The plans were easy to follow and the drawings were excellent. The only thing I would like to see different is an additional page with the patterns on it. That would make it much easier to make the templates. The only change I made, was using biscuits in place of the splines. Great project.
