Restoring an old wooden toolbox

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Restoration of the wooden toolbox we used for gift cards at our wedding.
Another car boot find from several years ago that had been kicking around the workshop. Had a large chunk out of the front of the lid, that needed some thought as to how to fix. One thing I really like to do is take old toolboxes and renew / re-purpose them to give them a new life. I never try to bring them back to 'brand new', always preferring to highlight the dings, scrapes and scratches to highlight the fact that the toolbox has already lived a life. The repair is just that. A patch repair. You can see it was damaged and you can see it was repaired. I think the end result looks fantastic!
Now the wedding is over, it will go into my stock of "Good to go" toolboxes until I can find some piece of equipment that would fit it's use.
I really enjoyed this project and made a great talking piece at the reception.
Videography all my own work (which is why it is so terrible).
Editing (as always) by my great friend James over at Prowling Tiger Media. Anything media related, go check him out at prowlingtigermedia.co.uk/. Top chap!!

    My type of restoration. Things have been used and have a history and should just be made to function again. Love the channel.

    Great project well excecutued mate. The craftsmanship and videoing excellent. Extra rewarding as the box must be sentimental to you after being used at your wedding. Have a good weekend, Matt

    Thanks for the support on the videography. Still getting used tousing static cameras and not blocking the shot. Definitely will be taking care of the box. Might even suggest Rosemary use it for her sewing bits and bobs... :)

    Salut Andy. J'aime bien tes vidéos, très bien réalisées, simples et reposantes. Elles me rappellent mes petits bricolages de grand-père, sur des petites choses qui n'ont d'importance que pour moi ! Belle journée à toi. henri
