FACOM cantilever box restoration
« on: August 16, 2018, 08:57:14 PM »
Can't let the forum restart without reposting the FACOM tool box jabberwoki gifted to me. Took alot of sanding and painting, but I think it came out well. It currently holds my specialty car tools.

Nice work Bonneyman!

I think cantilever boxes are cool, but don't own one. I will find one though. >:D

Thanks for the compliment!

Be advised, though, that cantilever boxes tend to be heavy....and when loaded with tools weigh a ton!

That was an outstanding restoration! I have at least one, and maybe two cantilever boxes and will attest to the weight when loaded!

Yeah, if I ever get my apprenticeship shop set up this box will be a showcase in the front window.  ;)
