#100 to ask readers to send in pho

tos and information about meir tool chests.

"Nearly a year and over 30 toolboxes lat

er, it's obvious there's a lot of talent and

passion for excellence out mere," said

Laurence. Readers from all parts of me

United States and Canada responded. "It

was dificult narrowing the field to fit five

magaZine pages, and many ine toolboxes

had to be excluded," he added.

The toolbox featured on the cover of tl1is

issue is a fine example of me kind of work

Fine Wo odworking readers are doing.

Made by Mark Nels, an architectural wood

worker who lives outside Atlanta, Ga., me

box has a coopered top, pulls made from

buffalo nickel belt studs, and handmade

hardware, including a spring-release lock

ing mechanism. When it came to adding

anomer personal touch, Nels turned to his

computer and a word processing program

to complement his woodworking tools.

"I found long ago I don't enjoy carving,

but since I wanted my last name and me

year on the box (toolbox tradition), I

found Word for Windows some help,"

Nels said. "I found me font and the size of

me letters I wanted, printed mem and used

double-stick tape to hold it on me curve of

me handles. I cut out me letters wim a ra

zor blade and used a scratch awl to textur

ize me bottom of tl1e cutout."

Now Lunde is working to pass on some

woodworking so much, I now teach ladies

60 to 70 years old who all enjoy my hobby

along with me," she writes. "Building

things with our own hands makes us all
