    Well i will have pics tomorrow. In some ways i fully agree with you Stu, but i wanted to "spruce these babys up just for sentimental reasons. The old ones had a gloss lacquer type coat. Mine at least show the grain of the walnut i used.

    Larry for the work involved in making them, the money isn't that great. I used to make them a couple hundred at a time, that's the only way you can make money on them. I still have quite a few totes and knobs, planes and such in different shapes and sizes around here. Probable need to get rid of the whole thing. Anyway found a picture of some totes in progress, not a very good picture, but you can get the idea.

    Randy you a better man than me. After making my two I would never think of doing it for money.

    Sorry about the pics guys you right it will be monday.

    Unfortunately for me and fortunately for a friend of mine, i volunteered to pay it back and help my friend doing a reno at his home. He is a special guy and has plans to do a ton of work thinking it would be done in a day.

    Well he has the week but he is more impatient that i can be. So i ended up on my knees for the day. Now i can hardly walk.

    Carpet being pulled up, rough cut and laid on the basement floor, hardwood floor, painting, crown mouldings and baseboard.

    Will spend some time with him tomorrow in between my own work.

    So pics will be forthcoming but delayed.

    Dang Randy...I think after about the 99th one I'd be going nuts. I'd guess then the challenge is not so much making them, but seeing how efficiently you can make them.
