That subject caught your attention, didn't it? No, my tool chest isn't talking to me...... YET. So, many of you saw the pics I have of that old tool chest that I bought. I almost sold it today. But, then I spent a moment to think about something besides how broke I am and decided to keep it. I don't know the age of it. I thought, "if the tool chest could only talk.... oh the places it must have been and things its seen." I haven't found a way to make it talk. So, I'm going to plan b. I'll let you know if plan A ever works and someone should probably check me into a mental ward at that time.
So, it doesn't have a voice. But, what it does have is the tools that are in it. There are a couple problems with that. Who knows when persons dumped tools into this thing, or how many generations and users it has gone through. But, what I do have is a lot of drill bits.. many different styles and makers, a few wrenches, an entire set of molding planes, and some other tools. SO, if anyone is still reading this, I need everyone's help! I don't know that much about all these tools..... or much at all, for that matter! I'm hoping with all the various styles, finishes, makers, ect. that I can get a better feel for this tool box. I know, maybe I have too much time on my hands. Or maybe I choose to have time and take time for things that matter. This tool box matters. Why? Because I said so!
This guy (I'm assuming) was a serious handy man. He made a plumb bob out of a rock! Anyhow, some things are clearly newer then others. I'm afraid I took some of the wrenches out of it when I first got it.... now I'm not sure which ones. But, there's still plenty to work with.
After all, who doesn't love a mystery, right?! I'm going to start taking pictures of the stuff in it tomorrow. I'll expect responses.... from all of you.
cheers
