I bought an inexpensive set of turning tools at Harbor Freight. I decided I needed a dedicated place to keep them, so I made a box from woods I had on hand. The corners are mitered. The top and bottom are 1/4 inch plywood that is secured in a rabbeted slot. Henges are recessed. The top is secured with a latch. I also made cradles for each of the tools.

I have used stain/polyurethane that is on hand. I finished the box with pecan stain. Here it is hanging to dry.
I added foam to take up the space and prevent rattling when the box is shut.
