TOOL CABINET.
THE “COMPACTUM”
TOOL CABINET.
This Cabinet is framed in dark American Walnut Wood, with Ash Panels, and has a work bench made of very strong well-seasoned hard wood, which is fitted with a patent Bench-stop, and also with an improved iron Instantaneous Quick Grip Bench Vice. The fittings are made of polished brass, and the Cabinet throughout is of superior strength and workmanship. When closed it makes a handsome and well-finished piece of furniture.
It is 3 ft. 6 ins. long × 2 ft. 6 ins. high; the top forms the Carpenter’s Bench, which is 3 ft. 6 ins. long x 1 ft. 6 ins. wide. An extension piece is sent out with each Cabinet; this can easily be attached and firmly fixed to one end, thus making the Bench 5 ft. long. In this respect it is a great improvement on any combined Cabinet and Work Bench yet placed on the market. It can also be fixed in front of the Bench for Wood Carving or for any other work that requires a strong table.
THE “COMPACTUM” TOOL CABINET.
An improved Combination Tool Cabinet. Joiner’s Bench and Wood-Carver’s Table.
The above engraving shows the Cabinet with the extension attached to it forming a full-size bench 5 ft. long. This engraving also shows the Cabinet open, and it will be seen that the lower part is fitted with racks or clips, in which to place the tools, and that the same use is made of the inside of the two doors. There is also a back to the Cabinet, which can be raised by an ingenious contrivance with the greatest ease, and this is also used as a rack for tools, so that “each tool has its special position.” The value of this arrangement will be at once recognised by all methodical workmen. Every tool will be in its proper place, and can be found when required. On the right side of the Cabinet there is a cupboard to hold the extension piece, and which can also be used to stow away large planes or any other large tools that may be acquired. On the left side are three drawers, as shown in the following engraving, which will be found very useful for any additional tools, or for small work of any description, and in front, under the bench, there is a long shallow drawer, with partitions for nails, screws, brass fittings, etc.
