Did I miss a drawknife in there somewhere? I'm sure there aren't any
dividers, but they would easily fit in the drawers, along with most
general leather tools (needles, awls, possibly edgers or stitching
markers). He must have had some axes or adzes, something more
substantial than the little toy hatchet/hammer combo, especially without planes.
Even so, its an amazing degree of compression. And I don't see a whetstone, but
I figure that could be in the drawer, too.
I don't recognize the tool spang in the middle of the left-hand panel,
the one surrounded by a lighter wood holder. And on the right hand panel, I
don't recognize the big hook like a huge doorlatch on a handle. Anyone know
what these
are?
