My dentist has got kit just like that ! (Feels like that anyway!)

Joking apart, does any workman ever keep his kit in a box that tidy? There's obviously some serious kit in that box but would it just be for show or regularly used?.

The hanging tool chest of Henry O Studley.

"Henry O. Studley (1838-1925) was an organ and piano maker, carpenter, and Mason who worked for the Smith Organ Co. and later for the Poole Piano Company of Quincy, Massachusetts."

Thought it would be American from the transitional planes, which were more popular there. A feat of organisation, but what a pain to use. So much stuff behind other things, you'd end up spending a lot of time digging, or have tools everywhere because it wastes so much time getting them in and out.

Seems that Henry o studley is more famous for his tool box than his work ,his working bench is equally as brilliant
