My grandfather was an engineer for a refrigeration company and his hobby was woodworking. He made this little chest from scratch for his files, scrapers, and small hand tools. My Uncle Rob gave it to me this spring and I removed some of the superfluous screws and attachments and cleaned it up and it will go in my home office. It's too special to me to stay in the basement. However, I keep all the chisels and files and hand tools that he put in the drawers because they belonged to him. I need to clean it with a refinishing fluid to get rid of some of the paint drips and fix the drawer handles. He had beautiful handwriting and the labels for the drawers are in his hand.
