MAKE | Remarkably Wee Tool Chest

I like the tool box. Why could they not make this on the land of the giants?

I don't think he is making miniature tools anymore he now makes miniature historic guns.

My God - you'd need those tools to make the chest. Fantastic work. (Perfect size to fit under the bonnet of my scale model VW.)

And where would one buy a lock that small?

Ya .. try sharpening that saw ... !

160 tpi!

Only way I can think of to make teeth that tiny is to drag the saw cross-wise over a coarse diamond stone, & call the scratches teeth..

I'd like to know how he did it (just out of curiosity - there is absolutely no way I would ever try to emulate that feat!). I have made a couple of small saws with 25 tpi, and sharpened a small slitting saw with about 28-30tpi, and it takes intense concentration, even with a 5x lens on my head-loupe - blink, & you've lost which tooth you are on.

Cheers,

Hello pmmcgee,
Just excellent. Large magnifying glass for me. Drillit.

I believe he uses some sort of serrated hobby knife blades for the saw so he doesn't do the teeth himself. Smart man!
