Amazing Custom Tool Chest

[jimmy eng]

This is a short clip of Piano maker who made a wall mounted chest to fit 300 tools in it. It's just the most amazing thing, a work of art. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=710_1301768433

Hi Jimmy & Everybody,

A few years ago, I lived near Boston, & I had the opportunity to see that tool box up close. The video, just doesn't do justice to all the time & effort into building it. I'm sure Mr. Studdly had over a thousand hours in making it. The box I made for my Son, which is not even a 100th of what the "Studdly" box is, it still took over a 100 hours to make.

So if you ever get a chance to go see that box,,, I'm sure you will be amazed also! Thanks for sharing Jimmy.

Thats a bloody impressive piece of kit.

Now who wants to build on bearman's beautiful attempt and build a complete leather kit in a brief case???
