DIY Tool Questions

Life was hard, my grandmother could do shit in her 60's that would put me, and most of us, to shame in our 30's. They did it because they had to, hoist that 100wt or make two trips with 50wt. Your choice, but either way you're moving that 100wt of spuds...


... in 3 ft of snow, uphill, both ways.

I was thinking he probably had to travel with it. He went to jobsites, not the other way around.

Wiki say wall hanger.

Henry O. Studley (1838-1925) was an organ and piano maker, carpenter, and mason who worked for the Smith Organ Co., and later for the Poole Piano Company of Quincy, Massachusetts. Born in 1838 in Lowell, Massachusetts, Studley is best known for creating the so-called Studley Tool Chest, a wall hanging tool chest which cunningly holds some 300 tools in a space that takes up about 40 inches by 20 inches of wall space when closed.

Studley joined the Massachusetts Infantry at the start of the Civil War and was captured in Galveston, Texas in 1863. After the war he returned to Quincy and joined the Rural Masonic Lodge. He died in 1925 and was remembered in his obituary in the Quincy Patriot-Ledger for his remarkable tool chest, among his other achievements.
