Cool Old Tool Chest


Okay, it's pretty obvious I haven't done much with the blog lately, which sadly means I haven't done much in the shop lately either. It was a summer of travel and training, and while both were excellent, it was way, way too much. Now I'm back, but school has started up again and I'm buried.

But, I've finally had a chance to dig through the pictures I took this summer and before I go in and work on my classroom, I'm going to do a post.

As I said, I had training this summer, and it was in California. Not being one to drive by a store or flea market that "just might have old tools", I did squeeze in a little tool hunting. I didn't find much, but here's something of note.


According to the tag, this tool chest belonged to someone who worked for the Murphy Bed Co. I thought the unfolding design was pretty cool.

Here's another shot:



It was probably a good thing that I had to fly home, or it might have followed me, and I really don't need another tool chest, even one this cool. Which reminds me, I did buy a new chest last spring and I never posted on that one. Soon, maybe...
