We finally raffled off this toolbox. It had been on Adam's truck for awhile! The winner only bought ONE ticket so that was pretty neat!
my actual real toolbox...not the cool retro craftsman that I like to stare at and take pictures of. No that ones too small for all of my essentials...that one holds only my dremel supplies...
This one...this is my lil'baby! Combine this with my ratchet set and paint bucket toolbox and I realize that I'm a total dyke. Ha! But I can do just about anything.

After a much more relaxed week at work, I got to come home to find Vivian (our friend Bill from Chicago) had safely made it to town for the new Grand Prix race tomorrow. Chris had to work the show at Civic, so it was the Vivian and Daphne show back in action. We decided to go for dinner to Monon Food Company and being a nice weather night, no parking was to be found. Until I remembered our favorite specialty store for all kinds of men's sexy underwear was next door and closed. Parking a plenty. So, in exchange for the free parking, I wanted to make you guys my photo of the day and give you some free advertising. I had Bill peek in the window and he LOVED the stock he could see, but loved the ass on the mannequin more :) We both want one of those for our houses.
Looking forward to seeing you guys on June 13th!
An easy Chalkboard Toolbox DIY.. More on my site: www.thriftcore.com/2012/01/chalkboard-toolbox-diy-for-you...
This stuff was lying on top of an old handmade mechanics toolbox of mine. Looked like it was laid out for a picture so .....I took one! There’s a round 1882 Perfection lock a nice Sargent lock with a Fleur-de-lis type pattern and a Slaymaker RFD mail lock.
The drawers have been rebuilt and refinished and new green felt liners were installed.
Every drawer is different and the drawer guides are made to match. It can only be assembled with the drawers in a certain position. I laid out the drawer positions with ,050 thousands clearance (less than 1/16 per side) on each drawer.
. The old screw holes for the pulls were filled and finished.
.Some drawer pulls-knobs were missing, and none of the remaining pulls matched. New pulls-knobs were purchased and installed Pulls are of brass w/ an 8/32 screw from behind.
1/8" Red Oak ply has been added to the top of a box made of scrap plywood. The drawer guides are made from clear pine that I cut out of new door frame molding.
The top trim is Oak molding and the bottom trim was cut from Oak Lattice.
The sides are made from pine. Dark Oak Stain and Maple Stain have been used in different area because of the different absorption rates of Oak and Pine.
Carpenters glue, brass screws and finishing nails were used in the box's assembly.
Finish is three coats of Semi-Gloss Varnish, sanded in between coats w/ 220 grit paper,
Final finish is a light rub of 0000# steel wool and a final coat of wiping varnish applied. ( regular varnish thinned 50% w/ spirits )
On the top of the toolbox is a decal for Valvoline Racing Oil, which I still insist on. Below is a faded decal from the NHRA Springnationals in 1968. Unfortunately the printing on the decal is barely legible anymore.
