Those are all nicely made chests by the look of them, but I've never understood their attraction as a storage for tools. Their practicality has always seemed limited to me because most of the time the tools end up as a big inaccessible jumbled heap, and there's a lot of inconvenient bending over and raking about for the user. Some years ago I taught at a furniture college where every student made a tool chest like that, and I can't ever recall one that really worked well for any of the students-- they were always essentially a mess inside with till things that didn't slide about very well. I've since been back to that college and I see they've abandoned that design and brought in something much more practical.
I guess the style is traditional, which I suppose has some attraction, but it goes to show (in my opinion) that tradition isn't always a good guide towards finding a design solution to a contemporary practical need. Slainte.
