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.


This is a timely post for me because I just finished a box for my
bench chisels. It took several months because a kitchen remodel and
new siding, windows and doors kept getting in the way. Actually the
kitchen still isn't finished but my chisel box is!

Very nice! Nothing quite so wonderful as a fine set of chisels, and
they deserve an equally wonderful place to be stored. I wish I could
say my chisels have such a fine place to live!
