Studley tool chest

[mklotz]

Studley was fortunate to live in a time during which few new, must-have tools appeared on the market. Few "interchangeable bits" tools requiring an ever growing collection of router bits, fastener bits, sockets, etc. were required. Many things we now do with specialized-for-purpose tools were done in those days with simple hand tools wielded skillfully to do a myriad of jobs.

It also probably helped that most of his work was confined to piano-related woodworking; no need to deal with electrical, metal, plumbing, etc..

With that said, I'd still sacrifice important anatomical features to own that chest.
