I've been stripping all removable parts off my tool box, finishing last night by untacking the canvas from the lid. A template has been made to fashion a new one. Could get that done tonight, but I'm tired, so may not put in the effort. I did enough for today, I think.

The manufacturer did nice solid dovetail joints.

All the wood has been sanded, primed, and stop putty applied to the worst imperfections.

Even had enough time to get several small parts refinished in the final color.
If you look really closely at the middle piece, you can see the manufacturers date stamp with year of production and the broad arrow.

Oh, and all the metal pieces have been sandblasted and finished, too.
I won't be putting paint on those. I want a slightly more aesthetic look than just usable.
