Title: My antiques and collectables, now in a completed box!
Post by: strik9 on August 06, 2011, 09:02:50 PM

I wanted a depression era style home made box for the collection.   Today I finally finished with the hinges on the lid.   While I was repacking it I took a few pics for the crew at GG, and why not here too.

I grew up seeing this style of box in my grandfathers' garages and now I make them for my friends.

Any questions feel free to ask, I'll even get better pics if you have to see a particular item better.

You have done well on that box! I bet your co-workers envy you.

Papaw, this one stays home and holds my treasures.  I have two toolbags full of modern mixed everybrand to work from.  One of my coworkers does work from a prototype of this one, I made a few mistakes on it and gave it away.

This has a mix of US, Mex and a very few european classics and collectables.  Mostly DOE but a few DBE, combo  and a selection of antique pliers and whatnot to round it out to a working set.  Finding wood handled screwdrivers here has proven a challenge.  I do use these on home projects.
I plan on doing a full pictoral inventory for the forums but need to take the time.
