Finishing what cakes? I try and keep my trowels very clean but they aint as clean as them babys. You must be a proud man.The 11" and 14" are my finishing trowels. The 16" to 20" are used for laying down
Love it its just like the originalI hereby name my first toolbox the Flynnyman, in honour of our esteemed moderator. It took 3 hours to make and comfortably houses my collection of 11", 14" x2, 16", 18" and 20" trowels :RpS_biggrin:
i see you didnt make my alterations for the handboard YET but we are getting there.

I take great pride in my work. My dad was a goldsmith and my mum was an embroiderer. They were both very good with their hands and always worked to the best of their ability. It was their philosophy that tools that are looked after will look after the owner

The handboard will end up in the small trowel box

One marvel of the age we live in is that you can order something from the comfort of your home and it'll arrive the next day. I managed to find a Festool box of the same specification with the assistance of TonyM.
After unpackaging the box, I could immediately appreciate that the box was well constructed. The colour scheme is consistent with all boxes made by Festool: their brand colour is ivory and green. If you don't like the colour scheme, there is a company called Tanos that makes them in different colours but you don't get "Festool" embossed on the outside (whether that really matters or not).
There is one downside to this box, from the photo shown below, you will notice that the inside of the box has many ridges and supports. The profile is also not perfectly rectangular as there are many subtle recesses. This will consequently make cutting the insert more difficult. Therefore, you may decide that it is easier to choose a box that is easier to work with, but for the purposes of this experiment I shall continue with what I have.
Hopefully the foam will arrive today as well :RpS_biggrin:
Good god man!! I've never known a spread to arsed about colour schemes!! Something you want to tell us Minh?

Testing one lol, how do you plan on testing?? Throwing it off a scaff? Jumping on it? What you mean is you getting one for free hopefully? Hehe fair play
I use a bucket but once you trowel gets so sharp it gets niks very easy, you dont do much skimmin so i doubt it will affect you.
What size handboard are you using? The maximum size the box can only accommodate is 13.5"
Im not sure but if a 20" trowel can fit then my handboard will
when do i get it?i take your point,
but when we were in the plastering game we just had sleeves to put over the trowels.
how would you keep a box like that clean, its impracticle at the very least
nothing wrong with looking after your tools, but your bordering on ocd with that.
Ah **** keeping the box clean i would even use it as a small hop up
there you go mihn the "flynnyman" is getting better

Flynnyman, With all due respect, I will make you a box in your honour. Please let me know your requirements. I'll need to know which make of tools you use and the tools that you are planning on accommodating

Where did you get the foam from? And how did you go about cutting the shapes out to house the tools?
Minh
Member
Let me make one thing clear to everyone: I am not here to advertise my toolbox.
The foam is known as Ethafoam. It was cut with a retractable hobby knife and a electric hot knife

Asking out of interest Minh as I think it looks smart why so up tight about it?
Minh
Member
I'm not. If you read the previous posts, there are some members that think that it is a marketing ploy. I'm saying politely that it's contrary to their opinion
