  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

Other Toolboxes with a drawer for the bible

Just so everyone can tell. I am not nor have I ever played a machinist. Is the Kennedy toolbox the only toolbox with a drawer for the book? I have a pdf on my tablet but it would be nice to have a paper book in the garage.
 
Several other brands had them. Craftsman had a nice one but I think it is pretty rare,
 
I've an old gerstner with the drawer, more of insert really, the whole thing pulls out, book and cradle if you can call it that. I don't use the drawer. I guess in a commercial setting where you felt you needed lock everything up it makes sense, but I'm a home shop guy and find a shelf more convenient for books.

If anybody in the GTA area is looking for a machinist toolbox PROJECT, give me a shout. The box is largely functional right now, including the drawer for Machinist's Handbook, but needs refurbishing. It is metal-clad and the paint is...bad. A couple drawers stick. The carry handle needs replacing, etc. $20 or equivalent trade? Pickup in Oakville.

Gray and Beach made top boxes boxes with the bible drawer too. There was just a Gray on market place in the GTA a few days ago. Might still be there.
