Catch-all cleaned up a bit..

2 hours ago2 hr

A few years ago, I built both a tool chest ( looks like a Hope Chest) and a 5 drawer Tool chest with a flat top to cover a top compartment

Still have to clear away the clutter on top of the Big Chest...I could get to all 5 drawers but...to lift that lid...I needed to remove a bunch of ..."Stuff"

Wood box holds a Stanley No. 39, 3/8" Dado plane..Cardboard has a bunch of small tools and bits...a speed square, and a 100' Cloth tape measure...and the rest of this pile was "piled" up on top.

The Yankees were calling this Rock Maple Mitre Box home..Bevel square and try square are "extras'

All kinds of "Treasures" were lurking under that lid..

That Brace Drill?

Is a Stanley No. 923, 8" sweep...which was headed to the shop..

That round item..is a metal 50' tape measure...Wood handle is a Hacksaw. Hammer is a Cobbler's Hammer.

Closed the lid..and it was soon covered up, again..

Those 4 files?

Were sent to the shop, the rust was removed..the one without a handle is a Heller...Rat tail file is a spiral cut. These were just rusty, but still quite sharp...

Stay tuned..
