Default Tool Display Box
I got far enough along in my tool collection that I went for a display box from Sewell (http://www.fordbarn.com/forum/member.php?u=5507) . I am really impressed with the quality, so thought I would post some pictures here. It arrives in a perfectly sized box and is wrapped in a custom made bag - looks like moving blanket material. The box is cherry with brass corners and hinges. The inside is green felt with indentations that fit most tools. There are velcro straps to secure each tool, which makes it very easy to remove the tools. He included a few extra straps which are good for things like accessories or extra support. Below are pictures of how I received it and how I positioned my tools.

Very nice. I really like the neat layout and the way it's built in two equal halves with a carrying handle like a suitcase.

One of the guys in our club has one of Sewell's tool display cases. Always gets a lot of attention at shows.

Looks like you have the March 1928 cadimum plated crank if I am seeing correctly?

Correct. Most of the tools are unique early tools. The crank is early cad.

Want to give credit where credit is due. The design of the box is the one that Don Turley used when he was making them. Don was a tremendous help when I kinda took it over after he stopped. I am not a designer but a doer. Anyway those of you who have purchased them I'm glad that you are happy with them.
