all the people that have seen [the Studley] chest and thought "damn, I would love that". Then this dude just goes and makes his own

The gentleman who crafted this amazing replica is Jim Moon.... and yes his body of work is amazing!

And he did it in six months. Six months.... One of my seconds thoughts was how he managed to get all of the tools, never suspecting that he MADE THEM!


Thanks for posting

Ummm. Matt, do you have another link or can you post separate pix? I don't do Facebook and it is asking me to give up my soul .

Then I remembered I have been initiated into the hall of surfing:

Moon on the Studley on the right.

Bloody hell: I'm going to have to lift my game (a lot) or commit hari kari. Anybody got the specs for a Samurai sword?

There's no reason to give up your biography to FB. Do some creative writing! Make your background and education a fiction.
I'm the CEO innovator at Vertical & Prone. Aren't you the bloke who makes sky hooks for hammock camping on the Nullarbor?

My delight with the tool chests? Many of the assemblies are on layered mounts = lift/turn one and there's another layer of tools underneath.

I understand. However I have to point out that I "excused" myself from Linked In when I twigged that for so much of the time it was no more than an industrial Facebook. Of course at this formative stage of my working life I can afford to be a little blase. I have a high horse somewhere around here, but it keeps getting out of the stockyard .

Where can you get those sky hooks? I am looking for a good supplier. The number of times I could have used one . I am also impressed with your familiarity with the Nullabor. My miserable memory is that you might have spent some time in Oz.

Just to get back on track so Matt doesn't have cause to berate me for digression, I too like the concept of a tool box within a tool box. I think of the technique as a forerunner to the TV advertiser "Danoz" whose slogan with long time presenter Tim Shaw, was "but wait there's more."

It is not just the skill and creativeness that appeal, but the mystique and surprise. You won't therefore be surprised to hear that I love the idea of concealed compartments within desks. If you like one, I think you like the other.

That is pretty awesome, just working out where to put things would be far too difficult for me plus it's a bit fancy for my selection of blunt planes, chisels and big bigger biggest hammer collection.

Also if you do join the book of faces and fill in dodgy details you are best off using a browser that you normally don't use, it's pretty much the perfect use for Internet Explorer. It just stops the cookies being able to do what they are supposed to do, use a fake phone number too otherwise if you friend someone that uses FB messenger you may start seeing people you know as friend suggestions. FB is a seriously awesome bit of programming, it is so sneaky and people don't really care.

Away back in the dusty beginnings, nearly 4 years Botany/wood anatomy PhD LaTrobe.
Plenty of field trippings with the zoology crowd.

I could make the sky hooks but the sharpening files are on back order.
FB is happy with any free-association nonsense.

Meanwhile, I spend my hours wrecking chainsaw files to create wood carving tools from farrier's hoof knives.

There's nothing wrong with giving up ones soul,
You can get another one then,
You could ask in the metal forum for the specs on samurai sword.
Don't need to be top shelf it's a one of use lol

But yes the tool box is awesome

And looks like Studley
Had an a apprentice possibly, just got to love Facebook.



Cheers Matt

And here we go folks
