Old wood Tool Box: Restoration

[@sidneydawe9937]

I have my fathers version of this, just differed in that the top pair of draws are deep, otherwise pretty much identical. I still keep many of the tools and bits and bobs in it he had. Used some, added some of my own. It’s very important to me as well.

[@du1987de]

I also have one I have inherited from my late Grandfather, it's in slightly worse condition than the one here but it should give me starting point to restore it myself. I can't believe this video showed up in my recommended completely by chance too!

We were given one along with a 0-1' micrometer and a 6" engineers steel ruler at the start of your apprenticeship, 16yrs old, 1975, apprentice toolmaker, it was your pride and joy. County Durham.

[@geoffwheadon2897]

@Uncle Eidolf uncle, I served my time as a apprenticeship toolmaker, which also included learning to be a craftsman at many trades, I ended up having the choice of being a toolmaker or a draughtsman, I became a blacksmith, then joined the army, 7 th Batt the Light Infantry at 24 yrs old, it was a hard time in the then depression, and I went to everybody's university, best regards mate, from County Durham.

[@whatifitnt]

Uncle Eidolf ? “real” ? ‘Real’ is if you can do the job well. Those who are taught by skilled craftsmen know just as much if not more than what we can learn in a university... what makes someone taught by apprenticeship not a ‘real’ engineer? A self taught motivated person often knows a lot more than an unmotivated person just warming a seat in sitting in a classroom listening to an instructor who doesn’t like their job and is tired of being there... just wondering.🤔

[@FARezDragon]

I love the constant bickering over finishes we all prefer. We like what we like. Super shiny, slick, with heavy brushmarks? Heck of a look. Me? Rag application of danish oil over a couple of days. It's lazy, yet time consuming. All in all, that's some fine work. Thanks for sharing.

Old machinist box that's in pretty good shape for it's age. I see some people think you ruined history but these things are not that collectable and you made it look good again. Nice job. 40 years as a machinist and I've seen quite a few and most were in worse shape as they didn't hold up well in shops.

[@ironmyno]

@David curtis I have my grandfather's Gerstner box Looks just like the one in this video. He was a Tool Room machinist at Gunite Corporation in Rockford, Illinois. He retired in 1980 the box is old and to the handle gave way when we moved it and it dropped onto a concrete floor. Broke many parts including the case. It's full of cutting oil and cast iron dust. It's in bad shape. Thinking about doing something like this. For my dad.

Other than a couple lessons learned for leather work, this is an outstanding restoration. As for the leather handle, particularly the edges, a little wax and burnishing would go a long way. I gotta add. THANK YOU for lining up the knob screws horizontally. It’s the little things that go a long way with something like this.

My dad made a case like this one when he was in his apprenticeship in the 1930’s. In his classes he went on to make the tools that are still in my brothers care to this day. As a little girl I was in awe of the micrometer and super accurate drills, chisels, rasps, planers, levels and many more. The toolbox is in great condition because he taught all of his seven children to revere well made tools.

[@edstengel2495]

I appreciate the care that went into this restoration, a job very well done. I did a similar restoration of some cabinets my dad had in his shop for 50 yrs. The cabinets originally came from a Kodak plant and were used to store film. My Dad had them gifted to him by a friend. Two cabinets with 8 drawers each, made of oak, dovetailed drawers. Dad used them for storing drill bits, screw drivers, various parts, nails, screws etc. They had been through a lot of abuse, including accidentally leaving a lit cutting torch next to the side of one on the cabinets resulting in a deep burn mark. When my Dad died they were left to me. I had them shipped from Colorado to Houston even though I knew the value of the cabinets was far less than the shipping charge. I stripped, sanded, repaired and refinished the cabinets and was very proud of the results. I used them for the same purpose Dad had, storage for shop items. But I didn't take on the project for that reason. I wanted to preserve something that my Dad valued and to use it they way that he did. Ironically, a few years after I finished he restoration, Hurricane Harvey hit Houston and my neighborhood was flooded with 7 feet of water. The cabinets were on the floor of my garage. I had some serious damage from that flood, but those cabinets were the only thing I truly regret not being able to salvage.

Hi Ed thank you for sharing your wonderful story. Sorry about the sad ending though. Goodness me that must have been awful to have your home damaged in such a way! Kind regards Phil

[@stevent833]

Just a tip: this was originally assembled using hide glue which is resversible, and hence it could be repaired this time around as the joints failed saving the wood. By repairing it using polyurethane (gorilla glue) tbis will not be possible in the future as any failure in the future will cause damage to the wood Gorilla glue should not be used for joints such as this. Hide glue is the most suitable.

[@Instone09ine]

Thank you Steven good explanation .A few viewers have told me not to use gorilla glue but your’e the first to explain why hide glue is best ! 😀

@@daveklein2826 same reason we have fuses. Setting up a point of failure that is easy to fix prevents irreparable damage somewhere else when something happens

[@kathyk479]

But with hide which is what was originally used! Your sticking to the original which is the idea of restoration !? Right? So the next time in the future it will be easier to restore if original marital are used. Also. An added feature that some antique restoration artist's do is add an explanation of when the item was restored by whom and what materials were used. So in the future this will make it much easier for future restores to do there job!

[@leonardmilner5774]

I started as a five year apprentice in 1964 , as a wood machinest, the firm was Elvicta handtools at Crickhowell in Wales, we made mahogany inlaid boxes for micrometers for Starrets, rosewood and mahogany spirit levels for Rabone Chesterman and many sorts of boxes, all the rage at the time was kidney shaped mirrors set on an Afromosia frame with birch ply insert, the afromosia was evil stuff very hard and brittle and any splinters in your fingers immediately festered and hurt, i used many sorts of hardwoods including Teak and lignum vitae. The firm closed , but i had left and started and ran a joinery firm for 38 years, specialising in staircases. I still have a couple of machines in my barn and make the odd window,signs and oak bits as i need them. There is few things as rewarding as taking a nice piece of timber and making an item that will hopefully outlast you and give pleasure to all

Fue un trabajo arduo, tube que sustituir partes que me ceñí fidedignamente tal cuál a su época.. Hasta el barniz fue dado a muñeca con goma laca...

@@Instone09ine pués la verdad que mis proyectos surgieron y tuvieron su época sobre todo cuándo estudiaba restauración , dí la voz de que necesitaba material para mis clases, entonces amigos y familiares confiaron en mi algunos muebles, mesas, sillas, herramientas de labranza o carpintería antiguas para mis prácticas Luego ya se convirtió como un hobby y los muebles u objetos que veia tirados en la calle, o en las casa antiguas de los pueblos y que nadie apreciaba yo los recogía y me lo llevaba a casa para devolverles a la vida ✨ Algunos de ellos me los quedaba, otros los vendía pero muchos los regalaba a amigos y conocidos que apreciaban mi trabajo....para mí es algo muy gratificante 😊 No tengo registros de vídeos de mis restauraciones o reciclajes, creo que alguna foto es posible pero será como buscar una aguja en un pajar porque tengo miles de fotos archivadas en el ordenador y no sé por donde empezar a buscar... 😅 Muchas gracias por contestarme y lástima que vivamos tan lejos si no iría a visitar esos lugares que me indicas 😍 Desde España recibe un saludo de ésta aficionada ! ❤️

Amazingly I just 'acquired' the exact same tool box- same everything from my friend as it was her husbands and was a machinist! Yes- the outcome looks great and I did a similar restoration to my old wooden kayak (But this takes time!) As a younger man I do appreciate the old 'American-workmanship' that went into tihs tool box and I also have many of the 'tools' that were in it- some which I have No idea what they were meant for, but all made well- IN USA!

That is awesome! and a great find! i have painted a fibreglass boat but would love to work a timber canoe or kayak😊

I’m pretty sure that box is British made .
