Eventually my new box needs to go on the shelf behind my short stack. In it's place will go a (1973) 6D full of odds & ends, currently in great need of a Rustoleum Restoration (you can just see it in the background, missing a few drawers). FWIW: the new box red matches pretty closely with...

Mario was (is) my hero. My father-in-law followed Tommy after serving in the Korean War with Earl Hinnershitz of Reading. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

Raced before Mario Andretti came along but probably bumped into Tommy Hinnershitz. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

I knew it was a sweet deal when my friend called...those were his terms. I might have thought about it for a second or two. [emoji4] Bubinga -- it's 26" wide. I paired it with this lower box and portable chest for reference. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

Two drawer made 09-75 Picked up this gem last week; got it from a friend who is downsizing for a move. Made 09-75 I'm not sure if it was originally bought as a set but it was purchased new by my friend's dad who hardly used them. One of the small flat-blade screwdrivers is non-Craftsman...

I've only seen this "lance system" on mid-70s and newer Craftsman/Waterloo boxes, after the chevron logo era, when the Craftsman boxes were identified with a flat metal logo tag and continuing through the plastic Craftsman logo years. Have worked from older and newer Kennedy, Snap-On, and Mac...

Penncraft tools and boxes from J.C. Penney...disregard the non-matching drawer pulls, ugly blue paint, and Cummins logo covering the empty hole for the lock. This was missing the lid when I got it.

Hmmm. What are the dates on the actual boxes? Logo on boxes began around late 80s but paperwork has logo from 70s-80s; key is from 60s-70s. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

Craftsman heritage logo "lunch box" Got this from my father-in-law who was happy to watch his sons and sons-in-law look through his workshop and peacefully divide his estate while he could enjoy the act of giving. Three weeks later he passed away in his sleep at the age of 88. Korean War vet...

Purple Power does wonders with removing grease, but as noted, it is harsh on paint! Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

Zeeman, no worries D42, NICE score by the way!...that is much cleaner than the one I'm trying to acquire. Be sure to share a picture of the date code. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

Date code should be stamped on front of cabinet, bottom right, much lower than the model and patent numbers in the picture you posted. Look to the right of the lock cylinder and above the caster to find ** ** stamp indicating month year. A bright light held at an angle to the box might help; it...

Craftsman "Homeowner" series; mine was red. Charcoal gray was a nice alternative color in the late 80s. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

+1 on using heat. Have removed adhesive from factory-applied, sound-deadening panels from Cessna aircraft to clean corrosion or make repairs. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

With a clean rag just wipe a thin coat over wood or steel, painted or non painted surfaces. BLO may darken or enrich the color depending on how you define it...I like the warm glow it gives to raw wood and the grayish color to raw steel. Thin coats cover with a nice consistent look. Thick...

Welcome Two_car_garage. Be careful lurking. It's addictive...pretty soon you will find way more information and then start dreaming up new ways to improve your work space(s) and then you start looking for stuff to buy and collect and restore and it's super fun! Take a few minutes to flesh out...
