This is my “Inch” Machinist Tool Chest. Anything that I have that (1) has inch graduations and (2) fits in a chest goes in here.

Top: Standard Gage Block set & dial indicators and mounts:

Looking good. Those little harbor freight "windsor design" tool boxes are not a bad deal.

I keep my t-nuts in the plastic bin they came in so that I don't dump swarf all over mine. Your tool box will fill up quickly with 1-2-3 blocks, gauge blocks and pins, centers/center finders, center drills, etc. Be prepared to need another tool box fairly soon as you fill them up.
