The Wood Whisperer’s multi-function toy chest plan

Being the dad of two boys, I know that trying to corral all the toys that the little fellas play with can be its own nightmare. So, having a high-quality toy box is a critical need. Now, imagine you could build a toy box to give a deserving child in your life AND throw a beating down on cancer. Well, that would just suit me fine!

That’s what Marc Spagnuolo – the Wood Whisperer – is doing over at his site.

Oh, and I would be totally remiss if I didn’t also throw out some love to Steve Ramsey at Woodworking for Mere Mortals, who is also co-sponsoring the build with Marc. His version is slightly different, but both are doing awesome work rallying the online woodworking community to this cause.

Now, if you build Steve’s or Marc’s version and send either one of them a photo before November 30, matching donations will be made to the Cancer Research Institute to further the effort to find a cure for this disease which has affected many of us – either directly, or the ones we love.

If you don’t want to build one, you can donate directly to the team for this worthwhile cause.

Even if you don’t have someone in mind to build a toy chest for, you might consider doing what I plan on – building one to donate to a local pregnancy crisis center … something I do every year during the holidays.
