This was part of a recent yard sale tool haul. It was in very rough shape. Please follow along as I make it presentable and repurpose it. I hope you like the video.
Thanks choppermike! I really appreciate the comment - glad to hear from you again. I think the color and the lining turned out pretty well. Best to you, Bill.
I just happened to have some old chair slip covers around here and I thought the color would go pretty well with the box. Thanks for watching and commenting! Bill
Thank you beerdrinker, glad to hear from you again. That video went a little longer than usual because it took longer. I sure appreciate you being here! Bill.
Thanks George! I kind of like the way it turned out. Yes it was some work, but I enjoyed the project (for the most part 😁) and I'm happy with the result. I have made liners for knife cases like that before.
Great job on the box it looks fantastic., However I could use a loan since you have so money now. I need some Estate sale money and I want to get Uwannawatch a new grinder.
Alas yes. Old habits die hard. 😁 I'm old enough to remember an operator saying 'number please' and giving her aa 3 digit number for her to connect at my grandparents house. I also have a rotary dial phone that I bought just to amaze my grandchildren. Maybe I'll do a video on that sometime. We do have cell phones though.😀 Thanks for watching and commenting I really appreciate it! Bill.

Great choice of color. Adding that lining really makes that box perfect for electronic test equipment. Really good outcome👍🏻.

Gotta love anything forest green! I have one a bit smaller, great for carving tools when I'm out and about... The liner turned out great!
Thanks Hiker! I like that color as well, and the liner seems to go with it OK. Appreciate the comment! Bill.
Very nice , looks great! Last another 50 years
Thank you very much for the view and comment - hope you will come back soon! Best regards, Bill.
The color of that liner cloth reminded me of people used to use gasket paper in tool & tackle boxes way back when.

Nicely done Mr Bill. That will make a nice electronics test equipment box.
Hi Ivan - thanks much for the comment! Yes, I think it will work fine for that purpose. Glad to hear from you again! Bill.
Nice job Bill. I like the way you did the rivets and will try that. I can't believe how nice the hardware came out. The liner is cool too.
Thanks David. I have lots of rivets that I use in leatherwork and some just happened to fit. Appreciate the comment!

Nice outcome overall, interior looks great.

Lovely gentle refurb,although the temptation too clear coat is always strong, they would not have been, this looks more original love it
Thanks Moon! Sure glad to have you here - appreciate the view and comment. Best, Bill.
Great job on the box it looks fantastic., However I could use a loan since you have so money now. I need some Estate sale money and I want to get Uwannawatch a new grinder.
HaHa! Thanks Dale. We could all use some more estate sale money!
Great job! Maybe next time you'll paint one orange and black!
I should have thought of that! Thanks for the suggestion Richard! Go Pokes!
Try soaking steel painted parts in Purple Powder a couple of days.Would not recommend using on aluminum parts
Thanks for the tip and for watching and commenting. Bill.
was that a landline?
