Aero 1946 Toolbox
 This is cooler than hell... A guy named Rolf makes these tool boxes by hand somewhere in Europe. I haven't gotten many details out of him yet, but I'm hoping I can get him to... To read the rest of this blog entry from The Garage Journal, click here. |

Re: Aero 1946 Toolbox
Checked out the web site for Aero-1946. He's got photos of his shop and works in progress. Some pretty cool stuff.

Re: Aero 1946 Toolbox
Very cool looking but I'd be afraid that I'd dent it the first time I toss my hammer in there.

Re: Aero 1946 Toolbox
Sorry for the stupid question, but what are those rods sticking out used for? Do they hold the part in place so you can get a few rivits in there?

Re: Aero 1946 Toolbox
They are called Cleco fasteners and as you surmise they are to hold the panels in place temporarily until a few of the rivets are set.

Re: Aero 1946 Toolbox
I like it. It's a much more useful ratio of side height to handle height too. I have a wood tool carrier that I made as a cub scout from a template that we all used, and the handle is too close to the sides, making it impractical to actually use. This thing looks much better proportioned.

Re: Aero 1946 Toolbox
At work practically everyone has a "home made" (known as a "G" job) tote tray, many very similar to the one shown in Ryan's post. They are, for the most part, riveted together with scraps and ends from the sheet metal cutting area, and whatever you can scrounge up.
