That's the Studley chest. The creator was an organ maker but this was his best work. You will never see anything more intricate than this.

...said the non mechanic. Admitting you have a problem is the first step.

And then you drop it and everything falls out and it takes 3 hours to put everything back in the right place.

Wasn't it tradition for the journeyman to make his tool box as his Master work?

Listen here doc I need my eye checked, my foot realigned and my teeth removed, can you help?

A place for everything, and everything in its place.

A woodworker's toolchest then. Because you dream of woodwork.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

This is the sort of toolbox you should only have if you've built it yourself. And when you die, it should be burnt without the tools in it.

Allowing the next owner of the tools to continue the tradition

I feel like most of these tools have names that 99% of the population has never heard of, "pass me the augmented stretcher!" Uhh U wut m8?

9 years ago | Likes 124 Dislikes 3

I usually say "pass that thingy".

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

This thingy, or the wobbleheaded flatnose thingy?

My stretcher is augmented.

It's good to see that he still has an augmented stretcher, even though it's made mostly redundant by his flabbergasting elongater.

I see a board stretcher in there

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

yeah No one has ever heard of a hand drill or a plane.

The guy who made it repaired pianos. A lot of the tools are specific to that work.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Make sense to have a pretty tool chest then. For the client to see how pro and delicate you are.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

That tends to be the way when people specialize. Like if I said something was a great example of reverse ostension. Odds are people 1

Don't know what I'm saying because it's a phrase that only comes in handy in very specific scenarios and only in those scenarios. 2/2

As a freemason myself, it is the square and compass with the letter G which represents the Grand Geometrician of the Universe (God).
