The Tool Chest has a lid, now

 

Ah, ut wait, under the hood is something special

There is that bright overhead light shinning up.   Maybe a shot before the install

Used that $10 Sears Craftsman 13" scrollsaw to make some wooden items.   Top saw is a Pheonix Warranted Ship saw, bottom is a Disston D-8 crosscut saw, about 1953 era.  My two full sized saws have a home.

 

Hate doing hinges, have to set things kind of funny on the bench

Just to get the screws to go in.

That is one sweet looking chest! You don't often get to say that to a guy and keep a straight face!!

I'm happy to see that chest covered, even tho it's good looking one. Great way to store those saws.

Got a question, Steve. You called the top saw a "ship saw". What is a "ship saw" and what was it's special use?

Inquiring minds want to know.

A Ship Saw is a pointed version, meant to cut curved items on a ship.   The pointy end can do a curve, about like a sabresaw.   ave used it in both a yellow, plastic mitrebox, and as a crosscut saw.  

Note:  That D-8 was a Painted Saw I rescued.    Teeth were full of paint.   Once the paint was removed, some very SHARP teeth appeared.   There is even an etch on the saw plate.   Almost like someone had painted a new saw....

That saw on top  has seen some sharpening.

Nice chest.

You make some of the neatest things Steve. A great tool chest and I love the saw storage in the lid.

Excellent!

Steve

You never seem to amaze me. Love the way you stored those saws. Also enjoyed the education about the ship saw.

Good job !
