Title: Tool Display
Post by: radguy on September 07, 2011, 04:01:56 PM

As I mentioned before I wanted to build a display for some Ford Tool as a present to my brother. I was torn between making it look like you were looking at the back of a Model T truck or have it look like an old wooden Tool Box. I settled on the tool box. So I have spent a little time on it over the last couple of days. Now that it is coming together I can see that it should have been a little shorter and a little wider. Anyway here are a couple pictures let me know what you think about the box and tool arrangement.

It's a good collection, and nicely displayed.  I think I like most, though, the hardware used for the design.  Very much in keeping with old tool chests!

I got the felt added and the tools mounted. All that is left is to get the Ford script on the top front.
