Clever Tool Chest - Wurth

[The_Stig]

I was just faffing around on the internet when I came across this tool box which I thought was pretty smart.

I don't know if anyone has seen or made anything similar?

I like that, could be a good project for the winter months now that my canoe build is nearly over.

 

[Modernist]

That's clever

now that my canoe build is nearly over

I'm interested in this, do you have any photo's?

I was planning on starting a build over the winter months.

Here's a link to the pictures.

The Song of The Paddle is a great forum for canoe builds.

Back to the toolbox.
I was watching the video and one of my work kolleagues told me that he has the same type of toolbox.

He's bringing it in tomorrow so that I can take measurements.
He bought it a few years ago, it was quite expensive.

 

[Titus A Duxass]

Here it is floating (without seats).

 

[The_Stig]

That's strange, I regularly visit SongofthePaddle but have never come across your build.

Did you colleague say where he brought his tool box from?

 

[Titus A Duxass]

He can't remember where he got it from.
He said it was about 250 euro though.

It would be a nice little build though, I might consider it if I can't make the space in the garage for the canoe plus the canoe is on quite a tight time frame if I'm going to do it.

I made something very similar back in Woodwork @school (in the days when they did it). A toolbox of sorts to hold tools & bits\pieces for R\C aircraft. Bit like a sewing box arrangement, i.e. whole sections swung up and sideways rather than a flip.

Lord knows where it is - probably in buried in the garage somewhere. Must have made it 25 odd yrs ago.

Every one used to make one at college during their apprenticeship. Cant see any great advantage to this type with a lift up rather than a drop down front and those hinges are sooo ugly

 

[The_Stig]

Please forgive me but what does the drawer type look like?

My college lets me construct a very small window as my assessment piece, that's the best we get

It's a clever design, but I don't see what it gains over the flip down version.

Stig, do a search for 'Ed's new toolbox' on here. EdK made something similar, but on wheels. He put lots of thought into it.

My colleague brought his box in today.

His comes from Domini Design the big one costs 280 euro without tools or 800 with tools

That's a really nice bit of kit, I might have a play round in SketchUp later and work out some dimensions

My colleague brought his box in today.

And more importantly... he brought beer!!

Si.

Si.

That's normal over here.

I noticed the beer, lol.

Just out of interest what attracted you to living in Germany?

Just out of interest what attracted you to living in Germany?

I was waiting for a job in Madrid (Leopard Tank) to come up and my boss asked me to go to Munich to fill in for someone.

After 5 years the work stopped (Eurofighter) and I went to Hamburg (Airbus A400M), after 4 years of the nut jugglers at Airbus I ended up here in Leipzig (Military Chemical Detectors).

I'm still waiting for the job in Madrid.
