[QUOTE="scoutshouse, post: 715452, member: 267"]I agree with [USER=5833]@Bronwen[/USER] and others who said jeweler's chest, or... Journeyman's chest for a number of trades, draftsman comes to mind. My dad was a tool and die maker, as well as his dad. My brother has all 3 of them. :( For pre-skision tools, as we used to say. Many technical illustrators and inkers I worked with had them on their drafting table... My local jeweler has one on his bench - not a goldsmith, they specialize in antique clock and jewelry repair. My dad used an unlined all metal one to keep smaller socket wrench sets in order, screwdrivers, awls, files, dividers, Starrett rulers, plumbs, whetting stones, soapstone, Simichrome... That one never moved, being heavy as hell. Remember when Simichrome could be found on every dad's workbench? The people at home depot have never heard of it. Nice box [USER=84]@journeymagazine[/USER]! You probably already sold it![/QUOTE]
