Thank you so much, really enjoyed. The most interesting part for me was when you created the key for the box - I am desperate to get a key for my box... I know was not the main purpose of the video, but could you please give me some tips to understand it bit more, or do you have another video I can follow? Many many thanks again!
Thanks Colleen! I really enjoyed this one, probably my biggest restoration to date. These cabinets are so well made it deserved to be restored to its former glory. 👌
I have just been rebuilding a few bits on my Father's one of these. He was a tool maker for life. A few things to note. I didn't have a key so I made up a few to test and modify with thin plastic that was easy to cut with a boxcutter. Took a few attempts and trimming to push the tumblers just far enough. My profile ended up being nowhere near as simple as the one here. I would suggest that even though it appears to work its probably wrong (maybe you got lucky the number "12" lock was the simple one mine has a "6" lock) , the tip of the key is quite small as well as it goes right through the back of the lock. Basically only 2 tumblers so was not hard to see what was going on with the lock removed. That plate round the lock (13 minutes in) on the front actually has a rectangular cut-out between the mounting screws. This allow a bit of paper or card trapped behind it so you can write your name on it. Nice picture of a genuine key here:- www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/vintage-neslein-drawer-engineers-1819612816 I'm taking my plastic template to a locksmith to get 2 proper keys cut for it.
They are really lovely pieces to own! Usually quite expensive unless you get one needing restoration like this. Let me know if you find one and how it goes. 👍
Many thanks! I’d always wanted a machinist tool chest but didn’t want to spend £200 so the only way was to get one that needed a little refresh! Only questions now is… what to keep in there! 😂 please consider subscribing, I have many more videos on the way. 👍
They’re very well made and beautiful to look at as well as being very useful! They cost quite a bit these days unless you can get your hands on one that needs restoration like this! Let me know how your search goes. 👍
Hi there, thanks for the comment. Yes usually people put in green felt but I don’t like that as it picks up so much grease and oil. Whilst it might not look like it, this is a good quality fabric from a local haberdashery and a bit more hard wearing than felt. Thanks for the feedback. Please consider subscribing for more!
@@JKLProjects It makes perfect sense to use something more hardwering. Not my taste, but not my toolbox either, and certainly not my hard work going into restoring it.
Can you tell me what lock number yours is? As mine is a "7" (number on top of key hole) the key is lost and I'm trying to get a new one made so would be good to have a template. Many thanks Pauline
I appreciate the kind words! I’d always wanted one and I’m glad to have been able to bring this one back into working order 👌 please consider subscribing for more great projects on the way. Many thanks ☺️
Thanks my friend! I’m glad you enjoyed it. I’d wanted a machinist tool chest for a long time so I was pleased to bring this one back to life. 👌 I’ll check out your channel now. 👍
I have a similar box with a similar lock. How did you determine the correct spacing of the key to get the lock mechanism to work? I’m on my 5th key attempt, still not working.
Hi there, I think I got a little bit lucky with the key. I was playing around with the mechanism to see how it worked and then used a small flat file inside the lock to provide some tension and to my surprise it opened! I think mine is a very basic lock and has no grooves it just needed a piece of flat metal. If I hadn’t got lucky with the file I was going to cut a piece of metal that fit and then just file it down bit by bit until I worked. Sorry I can’t give more information I got quite lucky with it. Also if you look on eBay for similar chests to yours (same brand) etc and ask the sellers if they have pictures of the key or even if they can draw around the key with a pencil and paper and then send you it, you can stick it onto a metal blank and cut it / file it out. I contacted a few and some were happy to help but luckily I didn’t need it in the end. Many thanks, please subscribe for more. JKL.
Three plates inside and 2 of them are the tumblers. The latch bottom is thicker than the other two. You just move up from the bottom that is left full width of the key and then adjust the other 2 cut-outs. Accuracy is required or they move too much or to little for the latch to slide down the slot. There are two springs inside so everything needs to be clean and rust free.
Great restoration! Little bit of advice for future videos that i hope you will take on board and not be offended by not mentioning - Fade to black transitions are too jarring when cutting between shots as frequently as you are doing, please just cut without any transition effects when the cuts are close together.
Hi there, I’m always looking for feedback so thank you for the comment! I have several videos already to go with the fade transitions but I will try the next one without. Many thanks, JKL.
@@JKLProjects I'm not saying it's a bad thing. Just I would of used contact cement and felt in bottom of the drawers. I kind of have thing for felt Fabric. I have seen some where they put contact paper. I find contact paper dreadful, and it gives out real quick. I did love to see the work you put in to it, It showed me you care about your work and how looks.

I just loved watching you restore this Machinist Wooden Tool Box. The fact is you didn't take away its age. Thanks.

Other than the nasty looking cloth you lined the drawer bottoms with it looks lovely.

I really don't know why you would take it apart. The history is fantastic.
The condition wasn’t good, I have restored it to its former glory and now it will survive for many more years
i watch every detail every minute ,very smart and well done ,thanks for video

Great restoration....love the handle and the work that went into it!! Well done JKL
Many thanks!
stuck drawers, worn areas, locking assy, leather handle...Wow, great job...really enjoyed this vid...Thank You
You’re very welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed and I really appreciate the support. 👌👍
@@JKLProjects Love to see a great craftsman at work...before/after magnificent...
Hello, @06:22 it would be good instead to use a dry lube e.g. silicon based spray. It does not attract dirt.
Many thanks, you are right. I have since learned about and purchased some dry lubricant and I can see it is much better for certain circumstances. 👍
Very well done thank you for sharing!

Hi You should not use WD40. not a lubricant it is Water Dispersant. Use silicon spray or SeiberGleitz Sliver Glide
Thanks for the advice. Much appreciated. 👌
💯🥳👍🏻🍻
🎉🎈🎊👍
Well, let’s just say you and I take a different approach.
How so?
The look of the mahogany is somewhat ' Suggest' leading me to possibly doing a beautiful paint over , no grain
just true paint work
Many thanks for watching. I prefer to showcase the full grain but many thanks for the comment!
Oak apparently.
I thought all looked great but one part. But that could be just me.
Thanks for the feedback. Which part did you not like as much? Many thanks. JKL.
