Workshop in a box

[SandyFloor]

Wow....that reminds me of woodworking classes at school. That's a real cabinetmakers set.

[devonmark]

[Sir Ramic]

Pah......Wheres the power tools !!!!!












Only Joking, wasnt it once part of the cabinet makers apprenticeship to make his own tool box such as this ?

[aph257]

prob' took the apprentice all his time to make it as well!! lovely piece of workmanship.

Lovely toolbox. Wouldn't like to carry that anywhere though. lol

Some old (guessing he's old) bloke somewhere should be proud of that.

I used to repair/ renovate sash windows full time and went through a phase of collecting old tools. Met a retired cabinet maker, guy was approx 80 and went to a car booty once a month. He had a great collection of old hand tools e.g. planes, hags tooth, chisels and even pedal operated grinders.

I bought something every month and have a good collection of old joinery tools I got some old marples chisels (the real marples before Irwin started to trade with the name) robert sorby chisels and some cabinet makers srewdrivers etc. I like the look of the older hand tools with the hard wood handles and brass ferules etc.

Some of the tools this guy had were worth a few bob to collectors too!

I have a wooden carpenters box which I made in 1998. Lol
Real good condition still.
Oh and well made too with dovetail corners etc.

[Rich]

That really is a nice bit of kit. Not sure it would look as nice when Iv covered it in sticky tho

[hillhead]

Just look at the brace and bits in it!!!!
And a set of marking gauges !!!!
Unreal that box, I used to use a lit of them tools....
Served my time then as a wood machinist where I controlled the machines to do the work, lol.

[hillhead]

I'd love to see what's in the bottom drawers !
How many of these would be lying up with cobwebs?

[doug boardley]

I like that.....a lot!!
