a marvelous vintage piece.

Vintage is for footage from the 70s and older so I'm quite confident this doesn't qualify.

I think this counts as tool porn.


I really didn't think this was something I could fap to, then he said the guy "turned his own handles".

So, I guess that makes it ok.

Where first escapes me sir, sorry. However, it has been represented in numerous magazine articles, woodworking and other. I believe even in National Geographic though I do not believe as a feature article. Books as well, some compilations of articles, tool books, shop books, and such. I have researched on the Net as well some years ago. I now think I may have seen it on TV as well but not with the more extensive views of its ingenious workings as Norm provided. I wish he had shown more of the inlay, particularly the Masonic symbolism incorporated. Some of the photos of this chest are truly tool and tool chest porn. The quality of the video does not do it justice at all.

I wonder at the cost in todays prices to reproduce the chest and tools. Some of the materials are rare to unobtainium. If one was able to procure some of the woods, finding the quality of wood, probably only available in the manufacturing of musical instruments would be challenging. Some rosewoods, for example, are not legally exported any longer.

It is a phenomenal piece of work. I once was given a 400 hundred year old Chinese tool chest. It was more a work of art than working art. ...hidden compartments and the whole bit. I was afraid to use it and had no use for it as an exhibition piece. No comparison to this one or its shadow.

Dude, he totally knocked those tool chests into those giant fans! This is the kind of unique, caution-to-the-wind Nukem gameplay I've been waiting for.

Thanks. But people who love their guns will take no manner of logical arguments to sway them.

Nope, it's not just you. I thought about jumping in, but I gave up on this argument some time ago. My basic response to the "you can kill someone with all sorts of household items" argument is that none of those items were specifically designed to kill humans. I'll never understand the insane kind of logic that compares a hammer with a gun.

In reply to this comment by spoco2:
Yeah, I knew you'd bring up that you don't use it for protection... damn you!

But a lot of people use that as an excuse.

Look, for my money, no sport is worth having a very deadly weapon in the house for. Sure, you can kill someone with all manner of items, but dangit, if a gun just isn't a really efficient way to do so. Just me I guess.

In reply to this comment by MarineGunrock:
Hmm. I see your point there, but I don't keep a gun for protection. I have it for hunting. However, you can simply hide the key where they aren't going to find it, like in the basemet ni yuor tool chest, or maybe in their mom's underwear drawer. After all, what kid wants to touch their moms underwear?

In reply to this comment by spoco2:
You can, but then you get the arguments of "Well, if it's under lock and key, and the ammo is in another place etc. then what's the use come a break in, I can't get it in time".

It works for me, by and large, although the problem with keeping anything under lock and key is that kids will invariably find said items. When it comes to booze and adult media, if they're old enough to find where a key is hidden then the contents are fairly unlikely to do them any harm... with a gun, not so much...

You keep your liquor under lock and key.

Not trying to be argumentive here, but why can't you take that same logic and apply it to firearms in the house?
