It will hold a ton of tools. The first two drawers have dividers in them....perfect for the camos, bevelers. It's heavy when its full of tools. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WyomingSlick Report post Posted January 20, 2010 If you are looking for a design to build your own, then you may want to consider the features in the toolbox that Tandy used to sell back in the "old days". Scan from 1963 catalog. These come up for sale every so often on eBay, but they usually come with tools in them - I have only seen one offered by itself in 10 years. A tool box that incorporates the top feature where the stamping tools are all face up with each in it's own hole, and several drawers for other tools as in the machinist chest would be really nice. You would only be limited by what you could carry. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King's X Report post Posted January 20, 2010 I had one and gave it away to a fellow student when I started this craft. She is now a Tandy Manager in Arizona. I have another one handmade that carries only swivel knifes and stamping tools for sale. Good luck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TroyS Report post Posted March 10, 2010 Lets try it again. http://www.machinist...d=20&tab=images MC Just a quick note. This toolbox is available at harbor freight for about $79.00! I know, I own one! I can't believe they want over $650 for that other toolbox. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
