So many better things to be doing at 4AM. Maybe I should get dressed and go finish a project in the workshop.

Nice joints and brass corners. WTG!. Still looking for brass knobs on drawers. I found some at $10 apiece, I am holding out for the $2 range. |

Different storage intentions
Machinist's chest = for high precision / delicate tools and not for any rough treatment.
Toolbox = wrenches, sockets and screwdrivers and anything that can stand some rougher treatment.

Toolbox = wrenches, sockets and screwdrivers and anything that can stand some rougher treatment. Many wood workers have taken to the chests promoted by Gerstner and Sons to store their small squares, compasses, dividers, chisels, etc. The tools that they do not want banged around by hammers and wrenches. |

Hello again 4 AM. Haven't seen you in a while. I may have drifted off for an hour or two throughout the night but I don't know for how long exactly. Most of the night I've been staring up at the darkness of the ceiling I can't see, or staring at the clock as the minutes and hours go by. It suddenly reminded me of this thread so I thought I would say hi again.
