Nail box with hidden compartment

[philipUsesWood&Brass]

Just to clarify, Toolmaker, a shopfitter is a high-class carpenter and joiner (well, I cannot really claim to be high-class) and fits out shop premises, so that they are presentable. At present, it is first fix carpentry, stud wall construction and I am using a load of wood abandoned by previous occupants. Now that I am a pensioner, I can afford to help a local charity with their relocated furniture store. A millwright over here is someone who builds a watermill or a windmill, although it has also come to mean an engineer who sets up, and maintains, the power source in a factory. Going to look up HMT now!

Philip, I worked for a Wood Flooring company, which was Licensed to "create" (or work in creating . . .) Commercial Buildings. The technical skills catagory was called "Floor Mechanic" !!!

My job was "Specialty Wood Works" anything the Floor Mechanic would get Slowed Down on. DoorWays, working around Pillars & Posts, free forming wood ("CTF" Cut To Fit) flooring in & around Masonry or Stone Work AND Floor Repair in existing Homes or Offices.

My "secret" compartment was actually a Second Level for my toolbox, Hand Made of a special Oak Plywood, similar to "Baltic Birch Plywood" Extra Veneers compared to AC plywood. BOTH my regular tool box & the extra one had their bottoms covered in scrap carpeting, Glued on so there was Zero Scratching when I set my tool boxes down.

Retired now, but I still have one of the most unique tool carrier systems on the West Coast!
