Exploring vintage mitre boxes #1: Stanley’s first, a Traut patent mitre box
I have been sending out some mitre boxes to folks and rather than leave them on their own to figure things out this seemed like a good way to start. This first box was developed and then patented by Justus A Traut in June of 1877. In the video I’ve dismantled the box and walk through reassembling and setting it up. There will be a few more videos added as time goes on. Here it is.
