There’s a story behind this tool box. When I spent time on my grandfather’s farm he let me run wild. This usually ended with me breaking something. He had a lot of patience; it amazes me. What I remember most was his ability to grab his go-to tool box and fix anything I broke. It was perfect…magical.

I inherited that tool box and, although it’s not quite perfect for me, it served him well and I cherish it. It inspired me to make my own “perfect” tool box. Below is the list of tools, including the box itself, that I came up with:
