I can appreciate what you do, really these tools are amazing, they have seen work which some craftsmen will never see, they have built so of englands most iconic places, unbelievable the life of an old tool, absolutely beautiful, i would love a toolbox like that
Thanks for watching Sam I really appreciate it I do try and show everything I come across so people can take a look and see if they can find something interesting to them I’m glad you got something out of it you take care of yourself all the best Ben :-)
My favourite haul yet!! More my thing that chest. In fact just bought one similar from Blackpool which I think would be not far from you Ben?!! Plenty of restoration bits there!
I saw the one in Blackpool did it have a very ornate compartments with a picture inside the lid? but the bottom of the box was a little bit rotten? Look like it was in seller
@@tooladdict7463 that’s the one! Paid more than I wanted but hey we are only here once. Got to sort bottom and all winter sorting the tools. A lot bigger than I thought when I got there. Struggled to fit into car!?? A lot of the tools inside such as chisels were way oversized to normal carpenters stuff. I am guessing it was from a ship builder?
yes I bet on that one it was a very nice inside but the bottoms are rotten if your local to me you’re more than welcome to have this tool chest with 95% of the contents I’m only going to take out about eight or 10 things I don’t have the space Before I put it on eBay $.99 No reserve The box on this one is really nice indeed
@@tooladdict7463 I hear you regards needing the room. Got so much stuff in garage now I can’t get in let alone work??? Spending this weekend moving what I can to my other garage (which is nearly full of “stuff”). Only down the M6 from you in Wolverhampton so what you wanting for chest with 95% of stuff? Pound notes of course
The steel block with all the holes is not a drilling guide... it's a dowel maker. Hammer a peg trough the apprpriate hole to make a dowel to whatever dimension you require.
I am in England and they do come up about every six months for sale I have managed to buy three or four of them now completely full of tools I find it to be very interesting like a Time Capsule but I’m not sure about Sweden if these boxes are common or not?
Going to the trouble of looking up the names of tools you do not know on the internet before making and publishing a video will give you a lot more credibility, and will make for a better presentation.
Credibility is not what I’m going for I just say whatever comes into my head and people can make their own mind up but I appreciate your comment thanks for watching :-)
Please, do your self a favor and learn what these tools are, and what they are used for, as you have mis-identified more than 80% of what you have in this chest, and where you do seem to know what the tool is, you do not have their correct name/function. Before taking to anything with grinders, sanders and the like to “restore” these beautiful tools, please take the time to learn what you have, and the correct restoration techniques to preserve these items before you ruin them through inexperience. A working collection of tools in their original tool chest is far mire valuable to any collector than the individual items. Fir heavens sake, do not “break up the collection”,
Hi Steven I tried for about 25% accuracy in my videos so I’ve missed it this time but I will try to Do better in the future thanks for the feedback and for watching :-)
For me mate you've hit the jackpot !!!! Love these tool boxes and tools !!!! What a find !!!! I'm green with envy !! lol . Just in case you haven't found out yet (and I'm sure you have by now) that hand made bit of treen looks like a dovetail gauge for measuring pitch depending on what wood you want to use, if I remember 1 in 6 inches for softwoods and 1 in 8 inches for hard woods just as a general rule. Judging by the quality of the tools I bet the planes were interesting too ?? I've never seen those Rabone rules either, really nice !!!!
You really ought to learn what all these "goodies" are really called. It would greatly benefit your channel and your followers. The thingy with the bamboo handel is a spoon bit, an old form of drill.
Wow Ben, so many amazing tools. Those two wooden rulers with levels are fab. I think the wooden specialised tool might be a dovetail ratio marker. The steel block is a dowel maker. You hammer timber in and it cuts it down to the size of dowel you need.
Yes Ian you’re right when I open the box was the first time I seen it and I am talking on the video so I always forget everything it’s definitely a towel maker and dovetail jig cutter for sure thanks for the info mate :-)
Wow! So awesome. The “corkscrew” things are possibly gimlets. And you’re correct about the slotted bit. It fits a Yankee style screwdriver. How much for the plane? haha
Thanks Martin yes it’s a dowel plate very useful when I went through the box I just looked at it as I saw it in the camera so I didn’t have too much time to work out what it was but thanks for the great info may have a great day :-)
Love that wood handled multi-tool. I had the exact same one (100 Miles West of Chicago.) Unfortunately it was destroyed in a house fire. Maybe I'll find another someday.
This reminds me of my late fathers toolboxes, he made them himself back in the 1950s. Thanks for reminding of times past 👍
That’s nice Nash you’re welcome mate :-)
What a lovely find, as a restorer I still use many of the tools in there, enjoyed your video, thank you
thanks for watching Paul I appreciate that buddy
The steel block with the 1/2" hole and other holes is for making your own wood dowels, if someone else already mentioned this in comments sorry.
Wow! I need friends like you and your friends that can find these great historical superior gems!
Thanks JD :-)

Wow just wow.... amazing. That whole chest in the states would be over $1,000 at least.
definitely Brian it would be 1000 pounds here too

The “drilling guid” is a dowel cutter I believe.
Yes Brian I can’t believe I didn’t think about it when I saw it thanks for the information :-)
The steel block with the holes in is a dowel plate. You take near size square stock and knock it through the plate to make doweling.
Thanks Spencer I know what a dowel plate is But I never thought of it thank you for the info mate :-)
Very nice, very impressive tools. 👍
Thanks Robert I appreciate that mate 😀👍⚒️
Do you ever offer these up for sale ? I you be quite interested in them
The steel block is a dowel sizing template
Where do you buy these chests? I looked for a haul like this in Sweden but I've never been able to find one.
I am in England and they do come up about every six months for sale I have managed to buy three or four of them now completely full of tools I find it to be very interesting like a Time Capsule but I’m not sure about Sweden if these boxes are common or not?
@@tooladdict7463 they were quite common in their day but it seems like most of them have been thrown away

looking back it was a real time capsule very interesting to go through with a mind another one :-)

I aim to the 25% accurate all times
Wow.. Just love these vintage tool boxes.. True Awesomeness.. Got to be my favourite hauls you do
Me too :-)
Very nice! 🛠👍😊

Me too David 100% :-)
Wow!!!!!! Just Wow!!!!!!!!!! =D
thanks John 😀👍⚒️

That's a Rabone box wood rule made in Birmingham, not Rafbone lol and the little Brad awe has a box wood handle , nice little Collection there
Thanks Roy I appreciate that buddy
Wow, that’s a lot of wonderful tools. The quality is incredible! Awesome haul.
Thanks Bernard wait to you see the second episode :-)
The block with holes is for cutting dowels.
Wow! So awesome.
The “corkscrew” things are possibly gimlets. And you’re correct about the slotted bit. It fits a Yankee style screwdriver.
How much for the plane? haha
I think you might be right there thanks for the info :-)
Gimlet yes he's right...he stole my thunder...😁
The steel bar with the holes in it, is for making dowels (sorry English is not my first language)
Thanks Martin yes it’s a dowel plate very useful when I went through the box I just looked at it as I saw it in the camera so I didn’t have too much time to work out what it was but thanks for the great info may have a great day :-)
Fantastic next one
Thanks Brian :-)
