18th C. Shoemaker’s Toolbox

I just posted a new project writeup on a 18th C. Shoemaker’s Toolbox. This was an attempt to reconstruct a period cordwainer’s toolbox based on research graciously made available by the folks at the Colonial Williamsburg shoemaker’s shop. I’ve been wanting a period toolbox for some time now, and I’ve made it such that I can potentially use it for 16th C. stuff as well, even though the tools may not necessarily be 100% authentic. Enjoy!
