  1. Solid Oak 4-drawer Machinist Toolbox

I keep an eye on eBay for machinist toolboxes.  Found this one for $120 (!!) and it absolutely delivers on that price! It wouldn’t compete with the quality of a Gerstner, but it will absolutely hold some tools and look good doing it. I love the innovative drawer locking mechanism. Half-dowels slide down from the top compartment to capture hoops screwed to the back of each drawer.

Nice score! A new Gerstner is over 10X that kind of money.

My guess is just that people have different thinking areas. Comfy chair. patio, sauna, soaking tub.... 
In the bathroom because I didn’t want the spouse to see it. I have been buying a lot of things lately. So the box got a little photo shoot in the bathroom before it got set on the shelf in my walk-in closet. I have to clear off some space in the shop for it to live
I bought it to put machinist tools in. I have a huge collection of machinist tools that I use but are packed away because they don’t have a good home.

Still unpacking the shop after the move.
it takes time dev, especially with 4 kids !!!!
