The DIY 2609 MasterCraftsman Kit is an excellent project, a creative gift, and a high-quality chest for your most delicate and precious items or your go-to tools. The design comes from the Style 72 MasterCraftsman chest, which was the first chest designed by Jack Campbell when he became Gerstner’s President in 1976. Slightly smaller than the 2610 Journeyman, it still boasts plenty of room for large collections. The DIY 2609 MasterCraftsman Kit is easy to build, endlessly customizable. DIY kits like this have really taken off because they are a memorable experience that can be done in a weekend. All the joinery is pre-machined, so a beautiful box can be achieved, no matter your skill level. Woodworking is a great stress reliever. It improves dexterity and stimulates the imagination. Besides, building something with your own two hands that is both functional and great-looking leaves you with a wonderful sense of accomplishment. This kit comes with basic instructions. Additional items needed to complete the project, please refer to the Instructions PDF for a complete list.
