amazing tool kit and a rolex sighting!

check out this old house's norm abrams and this amazing tool chest.

i guess they really don't make them like they used to.

is norm sporting a SS DJ there? i can't tell. in any case, it looks like an oyster bracelet.

The Cyclops is the first thing I noticed. That tool case is simply awesome.

Funny or not that kind of says it all, people don't take pride in what they do anymore. You can turn out a big piece of crap for a small profit domestically or send it to china and get a bigger piece of crap at a better profit margin. Its still crap.

Thanks for sharing that. Think about the engineering in that tool chest. WOW I believe the man that built the tool chest could of made one heck of a watchmaker also. The tool chest looks like a minute repeater to me. Thanks again.
