old tool boxes

Following up on my earlier posts, it took me two months to remember to pick up new hardware :-D but I finally finished up the old Craftsman tool box I got from my dad when I was 16. The powder colors are Flag Red and Wetstone Black ... the black wrinkle worked really well to help mask all the old pitting from the cheap chrome job on the handle and closures. I was very happy with how the piano hinge came out too -- they can be tricky.

I haven't decided what I'm going to do with it now, i.e., load it up for a road box again (but I rarely go anywhere) or incorporate it into my work bench.

Rani, cool thread! Thanks for being the impetus ...
