The other day I picked this up for 4 bucks. I thought I would be able to use it around the house to bring things back and forth from garage to back yard. So, I cleaned it, sanded very little, wire brushed here and there. Put some rust inhibitor, then 2 coats of paint on it. Then I searched...

Is that a HF ratchet? If so how much was that one?

^^^^^ Yes sir as heavy as you can get within your budget. You never know when you might have a huge load on the table. Also, if it were mine, I would get 4 swivel with all being able to lock down. Much easier to maneuver that table with or without a load on it.

Very nice work! Turned out great thus far. Maybe you finish the other ones to look as new or leave it like it is, either way it looks amazing!

Cool Both links are working for me as well. Nice albums btw!

Says invalid album specified if you followed a valid link please contact the administrator when I click on either of them.

Are you using sockets made for taking lugs off? IE lug nut flip sockets? If not a really cheap set can be picked up at oreily's or napa auto. They have both metric and SAE in the set.

:lol: I somehow doubt ol' Jimmy is under there. Take your ratchet put it upside down in your vise so that the handle is about 2 inches above your vice. Ensure you put block of wood on either side of jaws or at least wrap ratchet shank in some sort of shop rag. Least you have teeth marks in...

Amazing job you have done so far! That was a great tip as well. Works when sanding wood as well. On your wet sanding, do you spray clear then sand, and then buff it out, or do you wet sand before the clear?

That seems like... well a lot actually :willy_nil I would bet like most have mentioned, you might find a ton of buyers right here on the forum for your ton of tools. That sure seems like an awful lot. How did you get so much? I see lots of tiny tool boxes. Wow just wow.

Thank you for the kind words. When the time comes for restoration, I will make a thread on the process and progression. For now, I am trying to figure out as much as I can about the origin of this box.

Thank you for that information. I am trying my best to look as well. It is amazing to see that there were so many companies involved in the making of these style of boxes.

Yowza talk about a hurt put onto the pocket book! Them are some steep prices. I get that it is old but wow!

Pretty sure they are talking about the 5 drawer tool carts :thumbup:

Yes, although not too sure if these pics will come out here now but I’ll give it a shot. That is the left the next is right

If you actually have the amount of tools that you claim, I would think that instead of tossing them in the garbage you could simply scrap them at your local recycling center. I mean tools in buckets are quite heavy after all :beer:

No sir, there are estate sales of both natures, both of persons moved on to better places and those still living with too much junk.

I hope you both know it is very easy to bypass that latch lock. Do not let that keep you from getting a nice tool cart for 200. Heck they even have multi colors now

Congratulations on the new build. Interesting to see start to finish. How long will this take, assuming all goes as planned?

I like all the box styles you have pictures of. I will be looking forward to the final product when you are done. Thanks
