Description
For nearly 100 years, skilled crafts people have relied on the Gerstner Journeyman Chest to store their best tools. Not only does the chest provide ample storage, but its exquisite craftsmanship makes a statement.
The chest continues to grow in popularity among both craftspeople and hobbyists. Thanks to an updated design, it’s both taller and deeper, providing even more storage. We’ve lined the top compartment and 10 drawers with felt, so your tools and collectibles will have extra protection.
The chest also has a lockable front panel that covers the drawers, providing even more security. The iconic center drawer, originally designed to hold a machinist’s handbook, is the perfect place to store wallets, keys or phone while working. The chest features two side handles for easier portability.
Jack Pool –
I bought a Gerstner box exactly like this one for my fathers birthday in 1962. Dad used it in the shop working as a machinist and tool maker for many years after that. When Dad passed he left the box to me and it is sitting in my basement workshop filled with the same mic’s and machinist tools he used for so long.
I recently cleaned the box out and polished the wooden exterior, it looks as good today as when I bought it 53 years ago. I went on and finished my machine tool career as a journey man machinist and used this box after Dad retired. It has had a lot of use. Gerstner is top notch, the best in the shop.
