Great story and a great looking tool box with all the tools. Keepsake for sure. Take very good care of it.  May be one of a kind.

That is so awesome. The stories that could tell if it could.  A valuable relic to have and hold onto

Forgot the most important part. Original owner and user framed with his clamp over a plane which he also made.

Very cool! The old shipwrights were truly artisans at their craft. Known a few in my day and learned all I could from them. Unfortunately, it is a dying art form. Glad to see you preserve such a great piece of history.

What a cool piece of history!!

 

It made me wonder just how long plywood has been around and surprisingly but not surprised I guess, is that it dates back to the Egyptians.

Yes plywood has really been around a long time. In the 40s and 50s it really took off in the furniture industry. In that period exquisite pieces were made using bent plywood that are still very much looked for.
