Travelling Tool Box

A place for everything and everything in its place is an old adage that couldn’t be truer than in the workshop. It is a joy to work in a well organised shop. Workflow is improved, and you don’t waste time looking for stuff. In my workshop I have a beautiful vintage Gerstner chest that is home to all my marking and measuring tools.
