Basic tools of the trade, a collection of gravers with different tips, magnification in the form of glasses and an opti-visor. A scribe, compass and a good pen... the rest is all in the hands
This was my Grandfather's tool box. He died in 1935. It has his initials on it. My Dad gave it to me many years ago.
The corners are joined with finger joints. The top and bottom are tongue and groove boards that are nailed to the sides. The latch is a hook and eye. The handle on the lid is a bail type with stops. It lifts up 90deg and then hits the stops. There are five holes in the plate but it is attached with just two screws.
I think this is more of a storage box. Not a job site box. The handle and the latch are not in proportion to the volume of the box. If this box were fully loaded it would be very heavy. The handle would be uncomfortable after a short time to carry. It would be awkward to carry because of the width the box would bump on your knee. The latch would easily pop open dumping the tools out.
I use it now to store some other smaller tool boxes.

Got the opportunity to take some pictures of these tools that belonged to a gentleman who had no formal training but he did have a gift of being able to repair almost anything. Always interesting to see what tools other people have used - these were probably last used in the late 80s??
my tools - a Sekonic selenium cell light meter and a 500elm Hasselblad. such a joy to use this kind of vintage equipment - it's as solid as it gets and reliable.
