This tool box cake complete with all edible, hand-made gum paste tools was for a superintendent's retirement party. Created by www.fortheloveofcake.ca in Toronto
I constructed the toolbox so it's the perfect size to hold a gift card. Tools are silver embossed, cut out, and adhered to the box, front and back. The "for you" Hero Arts sentiment is pop dotted. I also stamped silver tissue paper with tools to line the inside. Thanks for looking! :)
(Sorry the pictures are kind of small...if you click on "all sizes" up above it shows more detail.)
The School begins classes once each year, early in October. Students are divided into sections of 12 students each, and get two hours of classroom instruction and six hours of shop instruction per day, Monday through Friday 8am - 5pm.
Basic Boatbuilding is the focus of the first semester, which runs from early October to late December.
The instructors assume that most, if not all, students have no woodworking skills and proceed from that assumption. The skills taught in the first semester are those essential to boatbuilding, and the course, for that reason, is very "hands-on".
Students learn to sharpen and use all their tools, and participate in a wide range of individual skill-building exercises, from learning to make the joints commonly used in boatbuilding to a series of tools. These exercises culminate when each student builds a dovetailed shoulder box, or tool box, like this one.
Students then learn to draft and make a half-model. Working in pairs, they learn to loft a boat full-size on the floor. Finally, working together as a team, the semester ends in December as students work together to build a flat-bottomed skiff.
The Northwest School of Wooden Boatbuilding is located in Port Hadlock WA and is a private, accredited non-profit vocational school.
Our mission is to teach and preserve the skills and crafts of fine wooden boatbuilding and other traditional maritime crafts.

And Another Memory.
This is another of my late father's toolboxes. He was a joiner and worked on major projects for British institutions in London including a library at the Bank of England, the library at The Admiralty Building at Earls Court, and similar. His most favoutite arduous task was the installation of suites of wardrobes at Lady (Katie) Boyles' apartment in Eaton Square, London. Very fine high-quality hardwood installations each lasting for many months. At the end of each project, he needed assistance to move his many boxes to his next project. As he had had polio as a 5-year-old child and in this day and age would have been registered disabled he needed help so as a teenager with an Isetta bubble-car I often gave a hand of course. So if anyone can recall a white bubble-car fully laden with joinery toolboxes and wooden workbenches pointed upwards through the sunroof in the 1960's in Central London it would have been my Dad and me!
Ah, what care-free and happy days, not to last, alas.
Remember the wrench and radio hanging on the outer walls of the 6927? Now they have a much safer place.
Inspired by watching an episode of Mythbusters, I set out to make myself a new toolbox. This was my first metal working project, undertaken long before I had the appropriate tools to be doing this kind of work. A dremel, a power drill, a pop riveter, and 24 hours later, I had this.
got bored waiting for clear to dry on the kit so i shot a toolbox i had layin' around. nothing is sacred in the shop, if paint sticks to it,its gonna get it!
Nothing fancy or impressive required in that trade. Knowledge, skill, patience and other intangibles count for a whole lot more than tools. The toolbox itself is probably about the cheapest one can come up with, but when something serves the purpose and is up to the demands of the job, why spend any more on it?

Shane bought this tool box full of old tools from a hay customer of his. I tried to talk him into giving it to me for my birthday.
Experiments require not just scientists and engineers with vision but also countless construction workers, tradespeople, mechanics and technicians whose hard, and often unacknowledged work brings these visions to reality, such as the Short Baseline Near Detector at Fermilab.
