I want to make some nicer boxes and drawers too. I learned how to cut the groves for the bottom with a chisel. Very slow. I made an improvised grooving plane that uses a chisel for the blade, it sort of worked. Need to get some steel and make a better one.
I want to make some more tools. One thing is a bench vise. I definitely want a wooden vise, and have narrowed it down to a couple of choices for a leg vise, either wedge or cam powered.
I really want to make a Japanese style plane or two, if I can manage to work precisely enough.
Something I'll do soon is a mortise gauge, I have a plastic marking gauge that I pretty much hate.

I'm in the process of planning a shop, about 20x20. I really want to start building furniture and stuff on the side. I have about an acre of thick woods. I would love to build some tool boxes with drawers and hinges, like back when you have to make your own tool box. https://kek.gg/i/5LRrGd.png
i love this kind of stuff
