Reader Txinkman is a friend to beat-up toolboxes. We think of him like the kindly country doctor you see in the movies. His shop takes in sick toolboxes and turns out some of the nicest-looking tool storage we’ve seen. His latest patient the “Brit Box” is one of the prettier boxes we’ve seen him transform.
Of course, it’s well known that I’m a sucker for mahogany, and this box is loaded with it. The chest itself is mahogany veneer and the drawers are solid mahogany. It’s a simple and very clean look, but what he does to transform these boxes is nothing short of a labor of love. Just look at some of the steps he lists and check out a few of the pictures in his Flickr pool, and you’ll see just what goes into one of these beauties. As always sir, well done indeed.

The craftmanship that Txinkman consistently delivers is all inspiring, and leaves me breathless.
Gosh guys, I’m very flattered. Thank you.
Anyone else think of the Cleaner from Toy Stoy 2 when they saw this? Looks beautiful, wish that I had enough stuff to warrant one of them!
