Multiple drawers provide lots of storage
 
Once started it was hard to stop. With the saws stowed to my satisfaction, I considered how my remaining tools fit in the space remaining. As originally built, the box had two drawers and a shallow tray fitted in one of the two drawers. Chisels and cutting tools like spokeshaves were carried in tool rolls. Rummaging thru a drawer while demonstrating chair-making at a fair could be frustrating and I had to beware of pokies. I shied away from installing drawer dividers for my tools initially because I just didn't think the effort to make them was worth it. I rationalized this with the thought that building a drawer with, say, five perfectly fitted compartments, suddenly put  you at a disadvantage when you needed to find space for a sixth tool. But experience with the tool box proved that everything worked better if tools could reliably be found when required.
