New Tool Chest

Clever idea with the guides!

Nice workmanship with the inlaid drawers and flocking. You must equate your machine tools to fine jewelry!

Nice job and you got to do a little flocking :)

-- Lifting one end of the plank.

Very nice in both design and workmanship. I especially like the variety of drawer sizes instead of a monolithic bank of identical drawers. Makes it easier to remember what is where.

-- The hump with the stump and the pump!

Geeez…..How many of us still have a Kennedy tool box…? I’ve had mine for years…It was my dad’s, and he handed it down, along with some other tools before he died. So the Kennedy I have must be close to 40-50 years old.
When I worked in a machine shop years ago, I used it every day. It has long since been retired, just like me…!! I really like the new version you came up with….It looks just like a Kennedy, but much bigger and better.

I have a metal Kennedy, but my dad had a wooden one. Sadly he sold it, he got an offer he could not refuse. I also used my everyday when I was working in a tool shop.

-- By hammer in hand, all things do stand.

Yep…..Mine’s metal too….!! It’s dark brown w/ the Kennedy logo in white. The drawers were lined w/ felt, but most of that is about gone from so much use. I kept 0-6 outside micrometers, inside mics, depth gauges, etc. mainly for use in running metal lathes….It has stood the test of time….!!

That’s a great looking tool chest. Those drawer glides are really quite unique.

Lovely box. I also like the variety of drawer sizes – one of the benefits of making your own.
