@ScoutCrafter is a national treasure

That tool box should be good for another 50 years! Nice job! 👍 🇺🇲

Those drawers would send me to lunacy….. have to organize them, lol

I have my grandfather old metal Kodak organizer boxes. Definitely need to restore them

Awesome job! and a great way to keep a memory of your Dad going.

Nice heavy duty box is quite common in factories.. I’m a die setter at an aluminum die casting plant where for years the Millwrights have built the boxes for different tradesman in the plant. You’d be amazed at how many variations of “in house” tool boxes there are it’s almost a work of art in my plant.

That is awesome. I also have a USA made box and the company name escapes me right now but it is something like 80 years old, it was passed down to me by my Wife's grandpa who was a machinist by trade. I never really went through the box to clean it up, just threw my junk in it and now it needs to be taken apart and cleaned and one of the drawers needs fixed. But yeah it's amazing how solid and sturdy it is, especially compared to my other box that is a ~10 year old Craftsman. This video is giving me inspiration to get that job done. Nice work.

Mmmmmm delicious lead paint.

Easily the best diy restoration video I’ve seen for a tool box. And I’ve been watching a TON of them. It’s so annoying watching 35 minute videos for projects such as these. After 7 minutes of watching the same action, I get frustrated and move on. Thank you! Liked and subscribed 😁

Inside angle iron in back of door is for tape measures

This has almost convinced me to clean my garage and bench today. Almost. Nice job! ✌️

Good looking job, that tool box was built to last, and you helped prolong it's life. Waiting to see the final product when completely loaded. You are right about ScoutCrafter he is the King, and I always seem to learn something from him.

I really enjoyed this restoration- thanks for taking the time to film it! Onto the organization video!

I really like this box. Boxes are my friend. Nobody pays attention to me

Nice. Love how you changed the color, metallic/ grey

Do you remember what that lock bar looked like? Wouldn't it be great if you re-created it?

Thanks for sharing, came out great.

Great job! Looking forward to the organization vid!

Came out great ! That box looks like its built solid !

Wow! That came out Great! That old simple box will be here after the A bomb! =) I can't believe all the stuff that was in there! =D It's funny how much a box like that weighs when full! =) Great stuff... =D

NICE WORK. THANKS FOR SHARING.

Looks like a lot of fun.

Use furniture stripper 1883. That's good stuff!

Very cool toolbox--worth the effort.

We use acid on rust. Great educational video.

That looks like my tool box at the factory I work at very heavy duty but no frills

Great restoration. Enjoyed the video. I look forward to checking out some of your others. :)

Whomever made that used the style of the old MASH unit boxes. Heavy as all get out, but you could store anything in them for medical usage and transport in a hurry if the need to bug out occurred. Those were made in the 40's and early 50s. Not an exact replica, but a really nice likeness.

that looks eerily similar to a metal cabinet i have...I got it after a relative died and its pretty old.

thanks. i will be restoring an old box soon.

Nice job looks good. I did prefer the old drawer handles it gave it that vintage character. Not sure why you felt like you needed to change them. But I would have really liked to have seen the original handles put back on.

I suggest you protect the top of this really cool tool box by installing a piece of 3/4 plywood and some varnish. Do you think that's a good idea?

So..... Its all in the wrist action ✊👋🤛🤜

you might of thought using pos rust converter from.easwood then HAMMERITE and on the top and inside drawers use pickup.box liner

i think it's a great toolbox, it's on wheels, i know how heavy these can be lol 😎👍

Looks good but you should be careful if you do it again there is a high chance that the old paint contains lead. But great job looks 👍

What is that stackable parts bin assortment boxes thing to the left at 0:07 ? Anyone know the name or brand or what it's called?

That tool box might be from the 1930's.

I've watched a few videos and subscribed. I have to say your videos are ultra pleasant. You're not a dick which seems to be hard to find in the youtube tool/hardware review world these days.

Hmm I’m from Utica ny I never heard of of that company ha I might be to young !!

Where is part 2

Links?

The guy who welded it up probably couldn't afford a Lista/Vidmar.....
