Staining a small antique tool chest

[auscab]

That's an interesting thing to study HPF . Someone has had a go at making their own! A bit of a rough go but it makes it interesting. And its been through the wars as well hasn't it!

I love these old engineers tool chests . Factory made or home made. I follow a guy on Instagram in the US who does the markets and keeps finding old Girstner tool chests.
Making one would be a good woodworking project . Not to hard either.

Here's a good Youtube tour of the Girstner factory that's worth a look . The old machinery and the later new things they have brought in to keep it going. You still get a sense of the old ways which is good to see.

I watched that video a couple of years ago but after working on one, I think I'm ready to have another look. Cheers Rob.
