Might be because I work with wood everyday or something else, but I really hate wood tool boxes.. I love tool boxes too. Just not made out of wood. It just seems wrong to me.
If I was going to make a wood tool box I could blow those out of the water! But I would never do that because its wrong.
They are nice... But I think they should be in a house,, Like a bed room or something.. :drunk: Like my wife would say: They are so pretty !!!! :drunk:
Looks to me that the building houses has slowed down and they are making ends meet. Beautiful boxes bit I am with Trees on this one, too pretty. Maybe if I had a real pretty set of tools I never used cuz they were to pretty...but then I would have won the lotto.
Any pics of the insides? I've been thinking of making something like that for my lathe stand (it has a steel frame, need some drawers inside it)... I like the rockers as handles...
Those are very nicely done but would have to use them for my wood working tools, not mechanics tools (or else, if my wife saw them would become bedroom furniture )
I have and use an antique wood tool box. I bought it at an auction many years ago for $8.00 full of unknown tools which turned out to be toolmaker's once I figured out the combination. Most of those tools I was able to sell at a profit over my buying price
I currently use it to store a lot of those odds and ends we all end up with along with the top drawer full of a couple hundred drill bits that have either been resharpened or need to be
It needs another good clean up - but is very nicely built:
Thanks Brian. A few years ago I had it all cleaned with sparkling brass, and just waiting for a little bit of protective old time shellac - but real life interfered and it obviously got back burnered. Some day.......
