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?
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.

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.
In a plant the size of ours, I'm guessing perhaps 1,500 acres, motor vehicle transit makes efficient use of time. With a plant speed limit of 15 miles per hour, a regular-sized motor vehicle is simply not needed most of the time.
There have been small transport vehicles utilized off and on, including Cushman motorized utility carts, golf carts, Ford Pintos, etc. There has been a partial resurgence of this type of small 4-wheel utility vehicle, such as this one made by Kubota or John Deere Gators.
