Tool Box Lids

Note

I have a huge and unwieldy stock of cases, bases, tables and drawers; and I am aiming to reduce this as they are bulky and hard to send. In addition, I no longer have my lovely John acting as the Polisher and Fettler of cases; he was always keener on this than I am.
So, what you see here is definitely still available, and I will be listing cases and bases for you to restore, with a page on howto fairly soon to guide you.
Not rocket science, folks...
NOTE this page has just been stock-taken, so all of these should be available at once... It's been hard work...
NO RETURNS on cases, sorry

I DO NOT ship bases, cases or lids outside the UK, so please don't ask

Shipping

Cabinets and tables are strictly collection only, I do not ship them.
Lids, cases, bases and the like can all be sent within the UK, I have given up on couriers and now send by Post or Parcel Force
