<p>[QUOTE="Shwikman, post: 4296698, member: 10115"]This is my Great Uncles tool box. It’s definitely seen better days but I LOVE the vibe and color…between me and y’all I’d love to figure out a way to have it somewhere inside our house…maybe in the corner w/ a lamp on it or something….not sure. The problem is mainly the top and the lack of paint there. I was thinking maybe a cloth or linen of some sort or maybe a light clean-up and have a piece of glass cut for the top of it? </p><p>Any advise on how to spruce this up without repainting or removing paint would be appreciated. I think the loose hardware and fittings can be worked back into place, possible remove the hasp and lock that were added later…although the old padlock is pretty cool.
