Very nice! I’m planning to make one of these soon. Can you post pictures of the bottom, and maybe of one of the trays?

The tools are just the handtools I use the most.

Buts 3 cheap factory made chisels, a cheap japanese kanna 45mm and s mortice gauge. No fancy stuff, but with proper tuning I get good results with them. A couple og Japanese saws, a hammer and some measuring tools.
