some tips I hope that you can use!

here's some things that I have come up with over the years that are really cheap to acquire and work well.1\

2-old cavalry leatherworkers tool chest with orig Dixon tools

1-free plastic boxes from any golf shop-golf shoe cleet replacements.GREAT for screws,conchos,rivits etc and "shot bags" I filled them with bb's.

3-sherman-williams paint sticks with 1200,2000 grit and rouge rubber cemented- easily changed

4-walmart pellet can for extra swivel blades

5-tandy swivel sharpener with 30* and 35* marked in sharpie so no guesswork to stop or sharpen

Great ideas, Pete - but could you please post a few more (bigger) pictures of that cavalry saddler's chest please? I have never seen one before.

the sheath at the top was for a head knife-fits mine perfectly. I added the filagree on the front- that's all. My mother got this for me at an antique auction(Butterfield &Butterfield) in Sans Francisco in the 70's.
