Vintage Industrial Machinist Tool Box / Jewelry Box

Here is a lovingly restored vintage machinist tool box that will see the next 50 years as a jewelry box. Boxes such as these manufactured by companies like Gerstner, Union , National and Pilliod, were used by machinist to store their valuable tools of the trade in a secure and low humidity environment. When I found this one it was water damaged and in sad shape. The goal was to restore it to a well worn state. These are cool boxes that make great gifts. I have a few left ready to find good homes!

    We worked with Matthew on a custom made loft bed for our 6 year old son. We needed it to be long enough to fit over our existing trundle bed plus the height needed to be lower than the average loft as to not hit our low ceilings. Plus we wanted real wood! Matthew was extremely professional throughout the entire process; kept to schedule, communicated clearly, and was totally responsive to every request ( a removable ladder, a toy box for storage, rails on the side, etc.) He did this and remained within our budget! I would definitely recommend him and will certainly reach out to him again!
    We love our loft and so does our son.

    The rack looked exactly the way I wanted it too. It was great to be able to coordinate all the measurements I need and have this one of a kind piece of furniture fit my room perfectly for such a decent price. Would highly recommend working with Matthew Karl.
