All Activity

Mine was similar but IIRC was in a metal box. I recently rediscovered the small square with a box of tools my mother passed on that belonged to my grandfather. I'll have to find the pictures I took and post them.

Awesome! Don't forget to sign and date them boss.

Ooh, fancy chisel storage. Great job matching the grain patterns on the door. Tomorrow being Monday, a national holiday and presidential inauguration day, you can have the day off. Post office and banks will be closed anyways.

These are just flat out fun to make, no wonder many woodworkers are making these, there's a whole lot of satisfaction in this. So I got three with the first coat of Tried and Tru. And two in the forms. The finger on the lid band split on me. That happened over night. I also gotta work on getting those tacks lined up at the top band with the box finger tacks.

Nice home for those chisels!!

..Up-date time....Case has a back on it... Glued in place.. Door has been glued up as a 4 piece panel... Center 2 strips are a tad longer, intend to cut a small curve, for the top of the door... Let these sit a day or so... Was in a big hurry for some odd reason...never glued those dovetails,,,,,they need a hammer to go together, anyway....then glue the back panel into place locked that edge up...as for the front edges of the corners? Each corner now has a corner Bracket...and a start to adding some hinges to the door....door already has it curvy detail done.. Hinges are now installed... And a Latch has been added, as well... bench was a bit messy, today.. But, mainly these tools were needed... M-F No. 8 was needed to plane a few edges flush,,mainly the back panel had a 1/4" overhang...Handsaws to adjust the fit of the racks, knife and chisel to let in the corner brackets so the door will close. Drill for pilot holes...1/16" bit. Inside rack.... Slots needed adjusted for a better fit of a couple chisels. Rack was glued and screwed in place... Countersunk screws through the back panel. There is a "Keeper" a "bar" that is hinged on one end....and for right now, is secured with a single screw ( to be replaced with a threaded insert and a thumbscrew..later As for the other chisel rack....2 tries to get the rack screwed to the door at the correct height,,,first one was about an inch too high.... Had to adjust the fit of 2 slots...as for the 2 rows of counter sunk holes... That is a Brass plate....intend to add a name plate etch or decal to it, after a finish has been added... Swept the shop floor, and called it a day. even had a Lunch Break, today.... Stay tuned..

Thanks Dan , Lou & Dave always appreciate you all looking.

It's a heat wave a sub-arctic heatwave. Think I'll go check the wood stove.

I had that same tool chest about 60 years ago.

Found my "Every Day Carrier" tool kit.

Those are great Mike. Should sell easily I would think.

I saw Tim Yoder do something like that with an inkjet printer-

I was looking at state collectables. My daughter picked me up some from Hawaii. Ill have to look at the collections.

3:00 PM CDT 2° RF -20° Sunny Wind NW at 14 MPH RH 46% DP -14° BP 30.25. Only woodworking going on is keeping the wood burner fed.

Ebay Billy, you can purchase entire shot glass collections for a reasonable cost, I think, just throwing it out there. I do like the shot glass idea though. Or how about hanging Cognac glass racks?

two kinds of people in this world, those with loaded guns, and those who dig......you dig.

Temperature right now is 40 degree after heavy rain last night. That will change rapidly with 6" to 10" of snow predicted to start within the hour and rapidly dropping temperatures into the teens. Sub zero wind chills tomorrow.

11° here. Up from 3° when I woke up. Might hit 12° for the high today. Mostly sunny. Humidity 48%. Winds from the north west up to 9mph. Cold front has indeed arrived. Garage a bit too cold for prolonged work out there. No snow or rain in the near forecast. No chance of me venturing outdoors except to check the mail box. Think maybe I've had enough snow for 2025.

Tried to figure out what to do with the center under the window. Was going to do shot glasses, but the glass was so expensive.

Tryingvto get this done over winter.

We're still at 23° and catching some snow. Comes down strong at times but hasn't amounted to anything yet
