Machinist Wooden Tool Box Restoration | Handmade Missing Key!

I bought a bargain Neslein machinist wooden tool chest and restored it back to its former glory!

I managed to get it on eBay for only £35, it was about an hour drive to collect and needed quite a lot of work but it was worth it because they’re usually £200!

I sanded down all of the wooden draws, kept the original Neslein brand badge, wire brushed the metal components, remade the leather handle, recovered the draws inside with grey fabric and hand cut a new key for the lock!

The wood was finished with several layers of boiled linseed oil and a top coat of Osmo PollyX oil satin matt.

I could not be more pleased with the outcome!

Let me know what you think of the finished product in the comments below.
