Toolboxes

[BarryBobPosthole]

I made this toolbox in the base carpentry shop at MacDill AFB in 1977. Made it from scrap wood I dug out of the trash. The handle is from an old pushbroom I found there. You can tell its had a few miles on it. I still use it. Handy as a pocket on a shirt. I’ll bet it lasts another 42 years. I know I won’t though!

Well, it was 1977. I remember doing this with a yankee drill one day while eating lunch.

That's pretty cool. A little posthole history

that plywood you made it out of is embarrassed to be sitting on that sheet of OSB

That OSB was cut just the right size to lay across a couple of saw horses to make me a temporary, now turned pretty permanent work table.

I’ve got a similar one I still use that I build in 8th grade shop class in 1976/77. I’m still passed I only got a B+. I’ve also got a little 4 drawer storage unit my Dad built in HS shop class in the late 1950’s. My Grandmother used it to store coffee, flour and sugar and it sat in her kitchen counter until she passed. I use it to store spent brass and what not in my shop. But, it still smells like coffee. My old man was a way better carpenter than I am.

If I remember I’ll post pics of them when I get home.
