This was my Grandfather 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.

One of the tool boxes I keep for work in the back of my van. It holds most of my basic hand tools I need for work. I got the tool box from an estate of a cabinet maker and it fits my needs better than any other that I have had. I also carry a canvas tool bag which I use to carry tools and small supplies to where I need them on the job site.

made these for a dear friend as a birthday gift because I thought they were what he should have had for a long time.

PRIMITIVE GERMAN TYPECASTING TOOL WITH HANDWRITTEN MANUAL
I got this single letter typecasting tool from a family in St. Gallen. They've had it from their family letterpress printshop which closed down somewhen in the late 80ies.
It is a tool with which you could copy some single large bodied leadtype sorts. In the handwritten manual it says: You would cast a lead-matrix (YES! LEAD-MATRIX...) from a piece of type. It says: Blacken the letter first with an oil lamp, then cast a matrix – the lead shouldn't be to hot. Then you use a oil-lamp to blacken your fresh cast matrix again and off you go casting a letter...
It says further that they bought this tool somewhen in the 1920ies from Berlin! It is still in its original box! It also says that it works pretty well, if you get trained a bit... haha
I didnt try it out yet! But I am really happy that this old men wrote a short manual before he packed it up to archive it in the late 1980ies!
For my collection of tool box/tool bag pics.
Les, who did the general rehab on my very very “vintage” garage, had several tool bags and tool boxes on-site for the job. This was his most essential kit and is densely packed. Somewhat heavier than I’d care to lug around.

This is the pegboard I installed to the left of the work desk. I keep planning t paint it some nice, perky color, but I have not gotten to it yet.
In July, my wife and I joined family to see the Historic Crab Orchard Museum in Tazewell, VA. Here is a scene from the Carpenter's Shop.
The sign on the Carpenter's Shop reads...
"Carpenter's Shop
Most early pioneers were skilled in carpentry, since homes, barns, and workshops were usually wooden.
Many days were spent in the forest using hand saws and axes to cut large trees for walls, boards, and shingles. Strong horses with ropes could be used to drag the large trimmed logs to the building site.
At the building site, tools of precision were used, such as the broad axe to hew out logs for walls, the froe to split shingles or shakes for the roofs, and the auger, used to drill holes for pegs, which essentially help hold the structure together.
More experienced carpenters had shops for their business, displaying expertise in making the finer wooden products. A farmer could trade livestock or fresh vegetables for basic furnishings such as doors, tables, and chairs. Using precision tools such as a hand plane or chisel, more admirable pieces like walnut hutches, chestnut mantles, or spinning wheels were fashioned."
Awesome Tool roll collaboration with Lemolo Bags!! These things rule and are super versatile. They are space great for Brooks style saddle loops but will strap on any saddle, handlebars, racks, toptubes, pretty much any where you wanna stick it. And, they come stocked with Full Size tools!! From the tiniest Park allen wrench up to 8mm, 8-11 mm box style Park wrenches, Topeak full sized chain tool, two Tire levers, a green spoke wrench and even that chainring bolt tool no one ever has around! Also has little bungees for keepin a tube of your choice in the roll. I couldn't be more excited on how these came out, Elias at Lemolo is amazing and really nailed this. They are $120 fully loaded with tools and ready to ship.
