Hi Chaps,
Tired of lugging a large metal tool box around when I go and see saws to buy, when I test saws after rebuilding or when I go out to collect wood, I decided to make a custom one.
I thought I’d bring you along on the journey.
I can’t quite decide if I should put the leather and brass handle on the top, side or end. Also where to put the classic old school logo?
Let me know below.
The intention is that each compartment isn’t set in stone. For example I won’t need a spark tester when I go out cutting, so that area can then be filled with a spare chain or spark plug and bar nuts etc.
If I’m going to buy / check out a saw I won’t need the sharpening kit, but I could chuck in a few rags and a longer ratchet. You get the idea.
I can’t decide if I should omit the divider between the spark tester and tuning screw drivers to open the space up. Thoughts?
I plan to use putty on the edges and to cover the countersunk screws followed by a sand, prime and then paint with stihl grey on the outside, go bare wood inside (to stop any paint flaking as the tools tap around and instead line the inside with a thin matting.
