Although General Motors is a struggling company now and Disney is thriving, ’twas not always so. Once, Disney was the hardscrabble organization and GM was sitting on top of the world. That was the dynamic that existed when the car company commissioned the Mouse House to produce an instructional cartoon that would show people how to use hand tools safely. Below are screen captures from the cartoon, examples of Primitive Pete’s appearance in print, and a picture of Walt Disney checking out the progress of “Fantasia” with “Hand Tools” director Bill Roberts and maestro Leopold Stokowski.

Antique Tool Chest

Posted on January 14th, 2010 by admin

http://www.mamacoke.com
Lethentymill posted a great video about his antique tool chest. So, I thought I would share. This chest was purchased from a good friend at Northford Timber Framers. He told us it came out of the old shipworks in Essex, CT. It is Mahogany on the inside and pine on the outside. It constructed very well and came with some old tools, a marking guage, a square and others. Best of all it has two secret compartments. I love old tool chests (and old tools!) so if you have something you want to share post a reply. We can have a sort of You Tube Global Antique Hand Tool Club.
