Wood: Goodly Progress

A till is a sliding box in the top of a tool chest; and a tool rack is a board with lots of 1/2" holes drilled in it so that it can hold chisels, screwdrivers, marking gauges, hammers, and other small tools in a vertical position. Silverpoint image of an empty till in a wooden chest; with a tool rack just visible in the shadow behind the till, all within a tool chest.
