There is something about that quarter sawn oak...

Did you have to restore it or was it in this excellent shape?

And thanks for sharing.

They are built to last, so it was in great shape. Washed it with Murphy Oil soap twice. It you look at the hardware it needs to be polished. The company carries all replacement parts back to when they started. This one was considered damaged by the purists because of the lockset that was added and removed on the right. It makes the perfect spot to insert an eye-hook that I keep for hanging strops.
If i had to grab my gear and go.Everything you need is organised.Tools, stones, brushes, soaps, straights, scuttles and a mirror for in a pinch. Functional and organised around here we call it Midwestern values.
If you get one you will never want to part with it,just be forewarned. Its built old school, and the company stand behind the product.

That is a nice Box. Always wanted one.

I have one also. They are great. I must say that yours is way more organized than mine. Nice wood one yours too.

Too cool. I love old wood transformed by craftsmen into utile works of art. Old oak, maple, and walnut is sensual, almost sexual in delighting both sight and touch. Your re- use of a work-a-day craftsman's everyday work item is inspired. Thanks for the share.

Those old Gerstners are truley works of art,very nice

Beautiful looking chest
Most certainly Compliments the your other items

great looking chest, I would love to won one of these!

WOW what an absolutely great idea and a beutiful display.

There are some on eBay, very nice one's too, but I'm going to do some looking around the city first.

Again, thanks for the inspiration, this looks exactly what I've been looking for to store my stuff in one safe, convenient, awesome place.

Man I hate fort knox area, no antique shops.
