For Y'all Miniature Antique Tool Chest.

I bought this footling tool breast recently, I've seen hundreds of them over the years only never ane this small. It's inwards rattling expert status amongst the master working lock together with key. It terms to a greater extent than than I wanted to pay only I knew I would request maintain regretted non buying it.

To give a feel of scale hither is a No vii plane. The breast measures 17 1/4" broad x 12" deep x 12" tall.
The carcass is dovetailed inwards pino together with painted equally normal together with the interior is inwards mahogany.

The ornament is uncomplicated inlays of box forest together with ebony.

In the bottom is a sliding hat which gives access to an opened upwards base.

There are 6 drawers on each side consummate amongst all the master handles.

All the drawers request maintain lapped dovetails on the front end together with through dovetails at the rear.

The dorsum of each drawer is numbered rattling carefully inwards pencil on the back, which is a overnice touching on which leads me to intend this was an apprentice piece. If yous also hold off carefully at drawer set out three yous tin come across the dovetails request maintain been cutting the incorrect means round, non a error an experienced craftsman would make.
This is lovely footling breast together with I'm tempted to brand a version, when fourth dimension allows!
