Late to the party, but, this is just awesome. Quite the kit.

The Studley Tool Chest
Master piano and organ maker Henry O Studley is best known for designing a 19th century tool chest which cleverly holds 300 tools.
When closed and hanging on a wall it is approximately 20x40” and opens to 40x40”. The chest is made out of mahogany, rosewood, walnut, ebony, and mother of pearl, materials that were probably taken from the Poole Piano Company’s scrap material. The fine craftsmanship is exhibited by the fact that each tool fits snugly into its space, often with an audible click as the tool snaps into its close-fit cavity. Sections of the chest swing out of the case to allow access to a second, and even third, layer of tools.
