Carregando... The Tool Chest of Benjamin Seaton: 1797de Jane Rees
   Nenhum(a) Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro.   ) Mikenielson | Aug 31, 2022 |  So, as a monograph, it's really an indepth study of the tool chest with some contextual information of the Seaton family and the life and times in Chatham England at the turn of the 19th Century. Included are photographs of *most* of the tools (in B&W with a few in color), several line drawings showing the constuction details of the chest and facimilies of two inventories in Bejamin's own hand (good luck reading them). I would say that to an old tool afficianado or a student of 18th Century woodworking, this is an excellent course. As far as we know, this is a unique collection of tools and their original container with a solid line of providence all the way back to it's origin.

"The Seaton Chest, now in the Guildhall Museum, Rochester, Kent, is the finest and most complete surviving example of an 18th century cabinet-makers kit in Britain, if not the world. The tools, which are generally in little used condition, were bought in 1796 by Joseph Seaton, cabinet-maker, of Chatham, Kent, for his 21-year-old son, Benjamin. they were supplied by Christopher Gabriel and Sons, a leading tool dealer and plane-maker of Banner Street, London. Benjamin made a fine tool chest for his new tools and recorder their cost in an inventory which survives with the chest. ... The 2nd edition, written by both TATHS members and the staff of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation in Virginia, includes a considerable amount of new information about the tools and the chest and also a description of the making of a replica chest for Colonial Williamsburg."--Back cover.
