One customer had a hobby of working with wood, but never thought that a compact storage place for his implements would be a good idea. When we had completed his Conservatory installation, (which the customer did a great deal of the internal woodwork for his own & our satisfaction); we manufactured & presented him with this Oak chisel box so that he could keep his accurate instruments in.

This was a Reel-to Reel tape deck; one of the originals that we used to see. The customer wanted his old tape-deck case (which was of plastic covered Plywood) substituted with an exact copy, this copy had to be in an English hardwood. We agreed on English Elm which was the closest match we could find to the original plastic. On the new case, we used the original catches & hinges & it was finished in sprayed cellulose lacquer & then waxed with Briwax. All in all, (in my opinion), this was an excellent piece of work & the customer was delighted.
