    Finest example of a tool chest

     



    Even if it's not filled with the latest torque wrenches or rachets and sockets, you've got to admire the planning and workmanship that went into this incredible tool chest.

    Beautiful! Love the fine tools and the custom work. Truely a labor of love to do something like that. I wonder what the actual weight of it was, Norm mentioned three strong me to lift it up! I built my first pencil post bed after watching the New Yankee Workshop. Still have it and use it every day! Makes me wish I still had access to a fully equipted wood shop!

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    That was not what I expected to see Mike, but it's indeed an amazing chest. I had anticipated one of the roller "Wrenchers Tool Boxes" made of hardwood that was in Street Rodder not too long ago

    That guy had a lot of patience, and obviously never intended to buy new tools!! Can you imagine his wife giving him a nice new block plane, and his frustration that now he has to rebuild the box??

    I bet his wife never even thought to open that case, let alone borrow a screwdriver to pry something open!
    With his skills he could of applied to the Q branch of MI6, and helped with the invention of spy toys!
