Apprentice toolbox

Nice! A beautiful wooden box or case goes well with quality tools, and as a bonus, they do a good job protecting from corrosion.

Got the HF box Friday. Lighter than expected, but apparently decently made. I have a spot on the bench between the lathe and the mill where it fits nicely. Drawers are kind shallow, but usable. I think I'd prefer slightly fewer drawers, but have them all a tad deeper, to hold larger items.

Finish is uniform and well done. Joints are tight and well made. Drawer lining is thin, but fits well and is free of ragged edges. Overall, I'm pretty impressed with the quality of this box. I don't think I could have made one myself that is as nice as this one.

That makes two good feedbacks on the HFT chest.
I picked up one for the kids to give me for fathers day.

there was a lot of cool discussion about tool chest especial the home made ones. Like i said I have a few at this point some old some new wood and metal.I was at a local flea market this morning. the vendors were in a selling mood trying to decide to put stuff out for sale or pack it up. the weather was iffy at best and it did end up raining. I came upon an old home /shop made tool box. Not great craftsmanship. not a Gershner but Americana . the guy was tired of hauling it so sold it I guess somewhat cheap. just a till and a couple of drawers.
I set it in my shop and I think someone put dibs on it but I am not worried.

does it realy look like a cat bed??

the contents are well guarded I guess.
The interesting thing about this box is the security panel is a sheet of plexiglass.
