Yup!

As I'm moving into new quarters I'm making the decisions as I go.
I'm hoping to turn Dad's wooden chest into a functional tool box
for my "small" tools? that I do indeed use.

I'll keep some of his tools ? that I do use ? squares, calipers, etc.

the rest? who knows? does a market exist for micrometers?
I'll have to find out.
