How many folks have thought about duplicating the Studley tool chest?
Even briefly? Which is the real one, can you tell?

The one on the left was made by Jim Moon. The one on the right is the
original. Some of you likely know Jim. He has been in the tool
community for many years. He is a certainly a craftsman of the highest
order. In addition to fine period furniture, Jim likes to duplicate
unusual and unique plow planes. He often makes one or more of the
styles that interest him. I am the proud owner of a couple of his fine
reproductions.
This is the first coy of the Studley chest I have ever seen. There may
be others but I doubt it. Here are a few detail pictures of the contents:

Here is a short article on Jim's efforts:

Don William's new book on the Studley chest was likely the inspiration
for Jim's efforts.
