To Bill & any other porch denizens who own tools with missing parts:


You have said an absolute mouthful with the comment that "Tools with extra parts
need boxes."


Just think of the thousands and thousands of tools missing some of their
accessories !


Have you ever encountered a complete Stanley 289 (Duplex Rabbet/Rebate and
Fillister Plane, Jeff) which was not safely ensconced in a box?


If everyone who'd ever bought a new tool with loose parts had made a box for it,
we subsequent generations would be in much better shape.

Tools with extra parts need boxes.

I have posted this before but it seems apropos to do it again w/ this
discussion. When I traded my Stanley router plane for a new Veritas I decided to
move beyond cardboard and built a box, complete w/ carefully peeled label:
