New Wood Machinists Chest

[redwatch]

Got really lucky this weekend. Found a beautiful 8 drawer wood machinists chest on craigslist for $30.00! It's in great condition. The previous owner used it for storing Darts & Accessories. Hardly used, and surprisingly no dart tip holes in the felt.

Here's a few pics:

Add to this the new tools from Watchbitz and I'm all set for my time zone watch making course!

Oh and the watchmakers bench is well under way.

nice for $30! Thanks to this hobby I can identify every piece of equipment in your chest there. I feel satisfied, even tho you're the one who bought the trunk.

Thanks guys. I'm extremely happy with my new find!!! Highoey - nice job! So what sort of bits and bobs can you see in there?? Let's test your knowledge

Nice pick-up S.

The hardware alone is worth 30 bucks.

Nice find!

For those not as lucky, here's something at Harbor Freight. It's not exactly the same, and over twice the price...But I still think it's a pretty good deal.

Lets see here:

I can see some parts trays, bezel remover, loupe visor, blower bulb, ball case back remover, oyster type caseback remover, presto hand remover, UV adhesive, movement holder, case vise holder, hand presser, soft polishing cloth, maybe some glow paint, and a soft movement pad?

That's a sapphire crystal polishing kit, right? (Been shopping at Watchbitz, have we?)

[redwatch]

Yup....a little shopping from down under to complete the set. Yes, it is a sapphire kit. @ Highhoey - almost correct. No UV glue in the kit yet. Sapphire polishing kit from watchbitz. Also no hand presser in the kit (unless you are referring to the Horotec in the background). But pretty good! Especially from the distance that I took the picture!

Almost bought the Harbor Freight set. Went to look at it but then found the one on craigslist and couldn't turn that deal down!

Nice find for sure! The one at Harbor Freight looks pretty good...so who's gonna dive in first and share some actual shots of it.

Wow very nice! Do you know what they can do for? I had a 15 drawer one that I sold for over $1500 7 years ago! Excellent find!

[redwatch]

The expensive ones are what prompted me to search for this. The Gerstner Tool chests are a work of art, but ridiculously expensive!

Great find! Those chests are really nice! Makes my Tupperware/Plastic bins look pitiful...lol.

Tech - the Chests that are really nice are the ones in your Avatar my friend!!!!
