truly amazing tool chests

2bb8f2cbe6443920cab9f8f8890e1361ori Oobject, which presents short photo essays of interesting collections of objects, recently put up this terrific selection of toolboxes. Certainly my favorite is number 1, organ and piano maker Henry O. Studley's amazing hand-crafted toolbox (pictured), which is as much a piece of art as a box for storing tools in (many of the tools look to be custom made as well). That particular item is now in private hands but is loaned to the Smithsonian from time to time for special exhibits.

Other highlights include a 1949 machinist's chest and the sublime Wohn Geist woodworker's toolchest.
