I recently bought a 1975 craftsman tool chest at an estate salewith all the tools.I have spent the last two weeks cleaning and painting the tool chest and figuring out which tools to keep and which tool sale.I would like to post some pics and see if I should keep them or sell them?:

Great handle by the way... Do people still call them that..... I don't know, maybe it was
seeing 1975 in the post that helped put the word in my head... maybe screen name is
the correct term... Do you know what, I think it's time for a nap.... They do call them
Handles... I'm sure they do...... Don't they.....

Ummm..... 10-4 good buddy me old fella, Post a pic.

That is a sharp box. I've always liked the old vintage Craftsman grey and red boxes. You going to restore it?

 

[socket2me]

this box is slightly restored.I cleaned it removed the rust and painted the draws top and bottom and painted the bottom chest.

That smaller box is a keneddy that looks to be in pretty good shape.

 

[socket2me]

the keneddy needs to have the felt redone we are going to do it in a red.it is going to be a display case for the older tools i pick up.for $20 i just could not pass it up.

Ya done good on your stuff. In regards to refelting the Kennedy make sure that you use the proper adhesive. There are some that will outgas and cause rusting of your tools. Right now I can't recall the wrong ones but a search should find the subject as it has been discussed many times

no neat sig line

Get Irfan View, simple to use, make it your default viewer too.
Try to find older version, like 4.10
says 9X, NT, 2000 and XP but the same version works on win 7.
The current version is ok too, but the older one is less flashy.
