I don’t know how he did it, but the UPS guy managed to carry our toolkit under one arm from the end of our driveway to the front door. The thing must weigh 70 pounds! I can barely lift it with the two sturdy handles on the side. This is the absolute best time in history to be a missionary, hands down. We have the most powerful tools available, and yet many of the tools that arrived in our box have existed for millennia .
The Tool Kit frame is made of Northern Michigan White Cedar, one of the best outdoor woods available. The joints are dovetailed and glued with exterior glue, and the box is stained with Sikkens which is used on log homes.
Most of the tools in the box are the best that money can buy, and I would list them all for you, but that would take forever. What you see in the picture is just one layer! Basically, it’s everything we’ll ever need as far as non-powered woodworking tools are concerned from saws to hammers, rulers to tape measures.
Thank-you to those of you that helped us acquire this, and especially to Norm and Joanne, who built the box, bought the tools, and taught us a class on how to use them! The box will be a big blessing!
