I went to a swap meet at flea lake and found this old rusty toolbox. Now you may be wondering, why did I post a craftsman toolbox on a machinist community. The answer is with in the tool box. So I was walking around in a booth of mixed variety of tools and I saw this toolbox with a unique tap handle.

I inspected the tap handle, which oddly rotates vertically to hold the tap. So after looking at this tap handle that was in the top of the toolbox, I decided to look in the bottom of the toolbox to see if there were any taps or other tooling. A boy that was a definite YES!!!!

The toolbox had an assortment of random thing and tools, however it was a box chalked full of lathe bits I asked the nice young Amish man how much he wanted for the toolbox, he replied with make me an offer. Then I said, is $10 as little. And he said that's an ok price, and now I own a lot of tooling for my future lathe!!
