Popular Post steven newman Posted February 10, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 Noticed an old drawer alongside the curb, awaiting Trash Pickup Day......seemed a shame to let it go... Not much to look at....may refinish the front, shine the knobs up.... Maybe build a small case for around it? Might be something I could use it for? Laid out some tools, time to lay out some thin pieces of pine scrap. Still working on the spacing, but... The larger of the chisels in this group. The other half of the box of chisels was too long for this sort of thing, all the shorter ones did fit in, though. Just laying things out, right now. might make a second drawer for the longer chisels? Thinking some Elmers,and small nails to fix the dividers in place? May keep a lookout for more drawers out on the curb.... Fred W. Hargis Jr, HandyDan, Gerald and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Allen Jones Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 It is surprising on what some people throw away along the curb and I for one look just for such items and you would be pleased on what some of them have turned out when repaired and refurbished. I was going to post a picture but I could not get the post to move over so I could drag the picture to the paper clip. steven newman and HARO50 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Howe Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 Darn, no curbside pickings out here. No curbs. We have found some neat stuff in old abandoned structures, though. My work bench is built on a set of old, ornate cast iron legs that once held up a machinist's bench.

oldwoodie Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 You coiuld turn some of your divisions in the other direction, but then, you would cheat yourself out of building another drawer! steven newman, Grandpadave52 and HARO50 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
