THE B&S DIAL PROTRACTORS ARE A WONDERFUL TOOL
SO IT IS SURPRISING THAT THEY COME IN A TERRIBLE BOX .

I WANTED TO MAKE A BETTER HOME FOR MY PROTRACTOR
SO I TOOK A 1-2-3-4 B&S MICROMETER CASE ( 10 BUCKS ON E-BAY )
AND CUT IT UP TO BUILD A PROPER MAHOGANY BOX FOR THE NEW TOOL

SO HERE IT IS . IT WAS MADE BY SAWING THE LID IN TWO
AND MILLING AWAY ON THE PIECES

THE 12" BLADE AND INSTRUCTION SHEET STORE IN THE LID .
THE LITTLE HUMPS KEEP THE BLADE IN PLACE WHEN THE BOX IS CLOSED .

THE HINGE IS INLAID & REVERSE MOUNTED SO IT ACTS AS
A BUILT IN STOP WHEN THE LID IS OPENED .

If nothing else, they made nice boxes with high quality hardware! I too, have bought their empty boxes to re purpose, one I used to house part of my dial indicator accessories that I have made over the years.
 
See, Hobby Machinists can also work with wood. Good job!
 
My machine shop teacher told the class "by Gott fellas, a machinist can do anything"!

I TELL PEOPLE THAT WE CAN MAKE ANYTHING BUT A LIVING .
 
I apprenticed in a union shop starting in 1964, went on to work for a refrigeration business for 3 years, then went into business for myself and made a living the whole time, own my own home and live relatively comfortably, am I the exception to the rule???

I HAVE SUPPORTED MY FAMILY FOR 40 YEARS , OWN MY HOME , HAVE A NICE SHOP AND NOT A DIME OF DEBT .
ALL THROUGH MACHINIST WORK .

IT WAS A JOKE & A GOOD ONE .
 
An example of true craftsmanship. Very nice work.
