Default Toolboxes then/now

On 10/29/2009 1:35 PM 'lektric dan spake thus:

Found this thread on Make online:

It's a photo of a contemporary plastic B&D ROS tool box and an older
oak one that held a valve grinder. The box now would cost more than
the tool inside. I'm working on a similar project; a set of custom
took boxes for small hand tools. I'm going shopping first thing Black
Friday for the tools. I'll be using pre-made "carcasses" from Hobby
Lobby and applying inlays and veneers on the outside and who knows
on the inside. Will post back when it's done.


Good for you.

I think all plastic toolboxes ought to be carted over to the nearest
active volcano and thrown inside the caldera.
