Amazing find Shane. Thanks for the post.

The Studley tool chest is probably the most famous & most photographed tool chest of all time.  It has appeared in Fine Woodworking mag and others several times and rightfully so with his incredible craftsmanship and ingenuity.

So....  Is the contest to own this fine Studley tool chest open just to U.S. members, or are all members eligible?    [tongue]

Heh, heh, heh.  Yeah, if only.    [big grin]
