The toolbox of a master craftsman

[dhoff]

I remember when this was first published in Fine woodworking back in the late 80's. They didn't know who it belonged to or, if I recall correctly where the box was. Now it's in the Smithsonian. This was built over a period of 40+ years by a master craftsman named Studley who worked his whole career in a Piano Factory. For a carpenter, his tool box was once thought to be his resume.
