Customer Reviews A very sharp book on toolboxes., October 14, 2002 Reviewer: maemme from Portland, OR USA If any book on toolboxes could be thought of as sexy, this would be the one. While not a how-to book in any way, it is just full of ideas for those with an interest in the topic. If you want to build a classic tool box, are interested in this history of these things or just want to look at some great pictures of masterwork boxes this is the book for you. It is a very well put together text that would be at home on the coffee or in the shop (it would be a shame to get such a good looking book dirty though...) Wonderful inspiration . . ., October 15, 2001 Reviewer: juliusthegreek from Long Beach, CA United States . . . But it will not take you by the hand. This book is written for those with the inclination, and experience, to design a solution based on the suggestions it contains. It contains wonderful examples of toolboxes from the plain old box with a pipe as a handle, to the ultra extravagant. The pictures are beautifully done, and the book does contain some renderings from various angles and some building tips. However, it is assumed that the reader will contribute a great deal to the design process. Afterall, the author has no way to know how you will use your toolbox, or what tools you plan on storing. If you are looking for detailed drawings and plans and procedures, this may not be the book for you. However, if you are looking for an outstanding source of inspiration and ideas, you can't go wrong buying this book! The toolbox is a tool, too, January 28, 2000 Reviewer: Jay Heiser from Vienna, VA This is a beautiful book--attractive enough to be a coffee table book. But it is much more than that. It is informative and interesting. It discusses the history of toolboxes, the different types of toolboxes, how they are used, how they are constructed, and what they are made from. The author has found an amazing variety of fascinating toolboxes in use by contemporary trades people. Although perhaps not to the level of detail that a novice would appreciate, Tolpin's book also includes plans, instructions and construction techniques. Not for the faint-of-heart., April 15, 1999 Reviewer: klager@pipeline.com from Phoenix, Arizona This book is a great overview of different philiosophies and methods of making boxes for tools. No, there are not many plans cintained in it. You show me a serious woodcrafter who usually builds things from plans and not designed by themselves, and I'll show you someone 'pretending' to be a serious woodworker. I read the book cover to cover many times and used it to build my toolbox from many of the ideas in the book suited to my tastes. I plan on getting to other books in this series. This is a great book of toolbox inspiration., January 24, 1999 Reviewer: A reader from Washington State When I first saw this book advertised I thought I had to have it. When I received it what I found inside was greater than I could have imagined. I was fascinated with the variety of toolboxes shown. The creativity and purpose for each toolbox was interesting to read about. I find myself picking it up to read as though each time it is a new book being opened for the first time. Jim Tolpin has created a masterpiece for those woodworkers who find themselves drooling over a finely crafted wooden toolbox. This is a great book, July 4, 1998 Reviewer: haldeman@psnw.com from United States of America This is a great book, but is for the advanced to professional woodworker.It gives many, many design ideas but little on how to implement them. Implementation of ideas is left to the woodworker, adding to the versatility of this book. Nice coffee table book, October 12, 1997 Reviewer: j512@hotmail.com from Eastern Oregon This is a good book for ideas about toolboxes. It has some beautiful toolboxes from past and present. It will make a great coffee table book for the serious woodworker. Not very helpful for building an actual toolbox.
